Where does the Rafael scandal fit into the history of the Red Sox?

We have a situation in our hands. Rafael Devers said his opinion about playing the first basis recently and it is quickly blown into a large newspaper and showed a fracture between devers and the Red Sox Front Office.

This is chaotic and not good, but it's not the first chaotic and not a good situation in which the Red Sox was involved. If you are a team that has been around for over a hundred and twenty years, it won't always sail smoothly. Where does the Raffy scandal stack against some other remarkable Red Sox? Let's take a look.

  • The Red Sox Trade Mookie Betts (2020): The consequences of it are still susceptible because many, many people keep asking themselves: “Why did you do it?”. Since then, Mookie has remained an all-star with another team, and the Red Sox have no real advantages of this trade. It is still generally considered one of the worst business in sports history. Scandal level: 5/5.

  • Alex Cora was involved in fraud Astros (2020): Cora admitted to playing a role in the sign striping operation and was removed from his role at the Red Sox, just so that the team calls it up again in 2021. Unfortunately, it is poor whether Cora may have used some illegal techniques or not to help the SOX victory in 2018. But given the fact that this was primarily a scandal over the Astros, it was not as ugly as possible for the Boston organization. Scandal level: 4/5.

  • The entirety of Pablo Sandoval with the team (2015-2017): This was just a bad contract that got worse with a player no one In Boston – from the fans to the front office – they liked. The plan to get a repeated winner of the World Series was not a bad one, but Sandoval and his shitty extras in a Red Sox uniform did not fit into the team, the clubhouse or in Boston as a whole. Sometimes that happens exactly. Scandal level: 3/5.

  • The chicken and beer scandal (2011): Ah yes. While the Red Sox 2011 had to struggle and lost their playoff spot under control, the pitchers took place and instead pulled out in the clubhouse. This year there was a lot behind the scenes, especially with Tito, who dealt with marriage suffering and could not effectively gather the team behind him. Something like this happens to a sports team and then to come to light publicly was a gigantic Deal for fourteen years ago and led to many changes in the 2012 season, namely the departure of Tito, which led to … Bobby Valentine in instead. Scandal level: 5/5.

  • Big Papi appears on the list of steroids from 2003 (2009): There was no concrete evidence of the support of acusations that David Ortiz was doing on this list of steroids. Even the Hall of Fame voters, who are notorious to hate steroid users, let him believe how this list is viewed. It still caused a real media when it was unveiled. Scandal level: 2/5.

  • The Red Sox Trade Nomar (2004): Nomar was so popular in Boston that of course many people were destroyed when trading. In the end it was the best, because trade enabled the Red Sox to win a World Series for the first time in 86 years. It would have been Only A little sweeter if we could have done it with him. Scandal level: 3/5.

  • The Red Sox Trade Babe Ruth (1919): We all know what happened because of which The. Admittedly, Babe Ruth did not become a legendary figure he is until He was on the Yankees, so one could say: “How could you know?” But that was also the Mookie Betts trade of the last century. Scandal level: 5/5.

Where would you rate this Raffy drama compared to everything else that happened in Red Sox's history? Was there a big scandal or a dramatic moment that I missed to mention it? That is in my mind. I hope that this Raffy is around and everything will be fine, but as this scandals indicate this, some of these things have a real setback. At the moment I rated this Raffy drama A 3/5. We will see whether the ranking is higher or lower in the long term than that.
