Alex Verdugo, who recently joined the New York Yankees following a trade from the Red Sox, maintains that he harbors no ill will towards Boston manager Alex Cora, despite being benched twice last season.
Verdugo, a left-handed-hitting corner outfielder, spent three seasons under Cora's leadership before the rare trade between the AL East rivals in December. "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," Verdugo said Thursday from the Yankees' Camp. "In certain ways, 'AC' 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," Verdugo said. "But as a person and outside of baseball, I loved him. I loved his kids, his family." Nice to hear these quotes as this was a major story all winter.
