Daily Red Sox Links: Sam Kennedy, Pedro Martínez

Sam Kennedy released a statement on behalf of the Red Sox following a week of unrest across the country resulting from more death in the Black community at the hands of police brutality.

Pedro Martínez wants the owners and the players to just come to an agreement already. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)

If/When the league does return, what happens if/when starts decide they don’t want to play? (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

Anyone who has read me long enough knows I’ll be psyched to know many longtime Red Sox front office members look most fondly back on their 2007 championship. (Chad Jennings; The Athletic)

Of course, 2004 was pretty special as well, and in a new simulation they are on the verge of making the finals in a tournament featuring the best teams ever. (Ian Browne; RedSox.com)
