Boston Red Sox Principal Owner John Henry has finally revealed the reason behind his years of silence with the media. He cites a misconstrued article from The Boston Globe as the catalyst for ending communication.
According to yahoo_sports, Henry explained that a 2019 article in *The Boston Globe* inaccurately portrayed his intentions regarding then-manager Alex Cora and the team’s handling of the sign-stealing scandal. He stated, “I stopped talking to the media because of a story that was completely inaccurate about my conversations with Alex [Cora].”
The article, Henry claims, suggested he had pressured Cora to lie during MLB's investigation. This accusation prompted him to cease all communication with reporters. "The Globe ran a story saying I asked Alex to lie," Henry said. “I didn’t. It was completely false.” He further elaborated that the decision wasn’t about avoiding tough questions, but rather about refusing to engage while what he considered a falsehood circulated.
Henry had not given a one-on-one interview with a major media outlet since 2019, leading to speculation about his reasons for remaining silent. The Red Sox owner recently spoke with *The Athletic* and shared these details.
