Red Sox curiously bench catcher — then get weird about why: ‘For the best’
NY Post
Something’s up with Carlos Narváez.
The Red Sox catcher was benched on Wednesday for undisclosed reasons, and his manager’s answer as to why was cagey to say the least.
“I just made a change,” Alex Cora told reporters. “I talked to Carlos a little bit and we move on from there. So, it’s one of those that I felt like we needed to make the change in the lineup. And I think it’s for the best.”
Cora wouldn’t say for sure when asked if it was for disciplinary reasons.
“Let’s keep it between me and Carlos,” Cora said. “And he understands. This is something that happens on every club. It just happens to be early in the season, and I think it’s the right thing to do.”
Narváez, 27, is in his second season in Boston, having hit .241/.306/.419 with 15 home runs and 50 RBIs across 118 games last season.

The loss? You can live with a loss. You can even live with a series loss. It’s highly likely that even the Dodgers might drop a series on their way to 140 wins. Hell, even the Yankees might drop one on their way to 145.
