After much speculation, Alex Cora has confirmed he will not attend the Boston Red Sox’s White House visit after Sunday’s win over the Chicago White Sox.
El Nuevo Dia reported earlier Sunday that Cora would not be attending the trip to Pennsylvania Avenue to celebrate Boston’s 2018 World Series championship.
Cora said he made his decision after speaking with loved ones, adding that the organization was okay with his decision.
“We still have a long ways to go,” Cora said in regards to the state of Puerto Rico. “That’s our reality. It’s pretty tough to go celebrate when we’re where we’re at. I’d rather not go and just be consistent with everything.”
