Had a nice conversation yesterday with Xander Bogaerts, who talked about his move to second base and the fight that was lacking from last year’s team — and also made sure I didn’t get nailed by a baseball. https://t.co/7nzk6HUGYR

Alex Verdugo said that he knew Aaron Judge was pushing for the Yankees to acquire him. “Rizzo was dropping hints at me at first base during the year. I was just telling him, ‘Nah, no way, man, no way.’ As soon as I came over here, Rizz was like, ‘I told you so!’"
More Verdugo on Alex Cora: "It’s one of those things that, it’s a little bit weird because outside of the game, he was great. Even as a manager, he’s a good manager, it’s just we were clashing heads a little bit toward the end. For me, I hope (for) him the best."
Verdugo on Alex Cora: "In certain ways, AC (Cora) was hard on me, but I don’t have any hard feelings toward him. It’s one of those things toward the end we kind of ran our course out a little bit. But as a person and outside of baseball, I loved him. I loved his kids, his family"
