Red Sox to ‘Talk About’ Whether to Visit Trump White House
Manager Alex Cora previously condemned Trump’s response to Puerto Rico disaster.

Boston Red Sox Manager Alex Cora says he doesn’t know whether or not his team will do the traditional White House visit following the team’s World Series victory, telling reporters: “We’ll talk about it later on.” Earlier this fall, Cora was critical of President Trump’s comments about the death toll from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico—his home territory—saying the president was “disrespectful” when he accused Democrats of inflating the number for political reasons. So far in Trump’s term, the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl visit was canceled when it became clear a tiny number of players would attend and the Golden State Warriors didn’t visit when they won the NBA title. However, Red Sox owner John Henry said he believed the team would visit Trump. “This is a special team,” he said. “We’ll see what they want to do, but I think so.”
