Jonathan Papelbon blasts Alex Verdugo: 'He more or less rode himself out of town.'
Briefly

I've seen the way he has his players' backs. The one that really [sticks out] to me is 'these guys are savages!' He's yelling at the umpire. That's something I want to see out of my [manager], man. I want to see some fire, some fight for the guys. Instead of airing people out, have their backs.
Man, I got a little pissed about that. And it's not just because I played with Alex Cora, or (because) Alex Cora is a friend of mine. It has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with the baseball gods and in the way baseball is. And I thought it was a (expletive) move. You don't leave somewhere and then call out everybody.
