"I think Boston has a lot of good things around the team. ... If you play against me and you don't like me, that's fine with me, but at some point if we play together you're going to love me. I play to win, I don't play to mess around, I don't play to make friends on other teams."
"The Yankees are a really good team and they have good players, but I'm not coming to Boston just to like the Yankees, because that's not going to happen,"
"I think it's really a dream coming true for any player, any Latin player that grew up watching Boston, watching Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Tim Wakefield, Curt Schilling. At this point in my career, I was really surprised about this move,"
Willson Contreras was traded to the Boston Red Sox to add right-handed power and veteran clubhouse presence. He waived his no-trade clause to complete the move. Contreras identifies as a winner and a gamer who prioritizes winning over making friends on opposing teams. He intends to play with intensity and emotion, which should energize teammates and antagonize rivals. The Red Sox surrendered prospects including Hunter Dobbins, Yhoiker Fajardo, and Blake Aita to acquire the 33-year-old. Contreras grew up admiring Boston Latin stars and regards the move as a dream come true.
