When a coach gets fired in Major League Baseball, it typically raises questions about players' involvement in the organization. For the Boston Red Sox, a relatively young team with some veteran talent, it would have made sense for the front office to come to guys like Garrett Crochet, Roman Anthony, and maybe one or two other players to see how they felt.

However, according to the latest report, players in Boston apparently had no involvement and were not invited to speak with higher-ups in the organization about the situation.

"Players were not invited to ask the bosses questions about Alex Cora's firing and the situation,’ Tim Healey of the Boston Globe wrote.
