A team charter will depart from Baltimore, but among on-field personnel who were with the club for last season's title, the flight roster for now only includes manager Alex Cora and at least nine players – all persons of color. Add to that list infielder Eduardo Núñez, who told USA TODAY Sports on Monday that he decided not to go, to support his Latino teammates.
He deserves much more than the situation - awkward at best, untenable at worst – that owner Henry and Co. put him in. So yes, excuse Cora for sitting this out and becoming, per the Boston Globe, the first manager or coach of a championship team not to accompany his squad to the White House. It’s one thing to disagree with a president. It’s quite another to feel that your well-being and that of your family are threatened by him.
“I don’t feel it at all,” Dombrowski said Monday. “And I’ve been around the club every day. I haven’t felt that since the topic came up, through now. ... Hearing peoples’ conversations – every club is unique in its own makeup – but with our club I think everybody respects the other individual to make whatever decisions they want, and I’ve never felt otherwise.”
