I'm one of the guys to blame for what's been happening here.
Just to make it clear, I only spoke once and then I spoke again three months later.
I felt like if we could have delivered the knockout punch there, it could have been a long night for them,
In the spirit of cooperation, I advised the Red Sox I am willing to restructure my contract, but only within the guidelines prescribed by union officials. I recognize the principle involved, and fully support the need to protect the interests of my fellow players.
Friday was a demoralizing loss. To get two wins going into the off-day and a tough Tampa series, it's good for our psyche.
If I were a Boston fan, I would be giving him a standing ovation. But I'm not a Boston fan.
It's frustrating because we feel like we know what the potential is. We got to get into a rhythm.
I think most of us were flabbergasted by not knowing any of these bracket systems.
After thoughtful deliberations with my family, I am announcing my decision to withdraw from the World Baseball Classic. When faced with the decision to choose between my country, the United States of America, and my Dominican heritage, I decided I will not dishonor either.

I've never had this before, so it's kind of a new thing for me, ... We'll see how I wake up in the morning. I should be in there tomorrow.
