Phew! They aren’t going anywhere. Well, they ARE going to Miami for some extra development which is great. It’s a pretty cool program that teaches players how to deal with media, handles clubhouse situations, etc. The aim of the program is help players with these non baseball-y skills so they can focus more on the game.
Last year, Williams Jerez and Ty Buttrey went while they were members of the Red Sox.
You can learn more about the program here.
