Red Sox Fans Boo John Henry After 18-25 Start as Team Goes 8-8 Since Cora Firing
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 15
Fenway fans turned on owner John Henry during Thursday’s loss to Philadelphia, chanting for him to sell the team after Trevor Story’s late error helped the Phillies push across a third run in the inning.
Boston’s slide has not eased since firing Alex Cora and five coaches two weeks ago: the Red Sox are only 8-8 in that stretch and sit 18-25 overall.
Story has become a symbol of the slump, batting .206 with 57 strikeouts and five errors, while other lineup problems have piled up, including Jarren Duran’s .178 average.
The backlash reflects deeper frustration with Henry’s long-term roster strategy after years of trading or losing stars, with Boston finishing near the bottom of the AL East in most seasons since 2020.
With fans demanding a boycott and ownership under fire, could the Red Sox's commitment to a Rays-style rebuild force John Henry to finally sell the team?
Does the Red Sox's reliance on a flawed international pipeline doom their rebuild, and what lessons does this offer for big-market teams chasing small-market success?
Can breakout prospect Franklin Arias and a struggling farm system turn around the Red Sox's fortunes, or is the failed experiment too deep-rooted to fix?
