Red Sox Cancer Survivor says he gets death threats

“Just like a Fyi: threats to my life and my wife's life are terrible and cruel. You need help,” posted Hendriks in his Instagram story. “Leaving comments to tell me that I should commit suicide and as you wish I would have died of cancer, is disgusting and hideous.”

Hendriks, a three-time all-star, revealed in January 2023 that the lymphoma of non-Hodgkin had been diagnosed and chemotherapy was subjected. He announced that he was free of cancer a few months later and drove his string of the season in May, but only headed five appearances before ultimately undergoing a Tommy John surgery that cost him the entire 2024 campaign.

“Perhaps you should take a step back and re -evaluate your purpose before hiding behind a screen that attacks the player and your family,” wrote Hendriks. “Whether they do it from their” fake accounts “or are stupid enough to do this from their real account. I think I speak for all players who had to deal with it in their career when I say: enough is enough.”
