Despite a strong spring showing, the Boston Red Sox elected to carry Connelly Early on their roster over their top prospect.
“We can mix and match with Mona,” Cora said on NESN during an in-game interview that was interrupted by a Ceddanne Rafaela homer. “We’re gonna use Izzy, most likely, against lefties at second base. Mona can do the same thing. He can pinch run.”
Alex Cora delivers blunt message to Kristian Campbell, urging improvement as struggles continue and expectations rise within Red Sox camp.
