The Boston Red Sox had a few disgruntled players when spring training kicked off due to the organization's lack of investment in winning.
The Boston Red Sox did everything they could to anger their active roster last offseason -- starting by building full-throttle expectations that started with notable firings from the top down and direct quotes from ownership and the new baseball leadership group that implied brighter days were ahead.
That led to many disgruntled players coming into spring training -- a couple of whom spoke out. While Rafael Devers remains signed for the greater part of a decade, closer Kenley Jansen shared his displeaser as well and appears to have one foot out of the door.“I’m not in that space thinking about that right now, but if that time comes, we’ll see what they want to do,” Jansen told MassLive's Chris Cotillo. “ not gonna change. Winning is my priority.
Jansen was told when he came here prior to the 2023 season that the plan was to build a competitive roster in the short term. Since then, Boston sold at the following deadline, finished in last place of the American League East for the second consecutive season and then punted again this offseason.
