Sounds like Boston could be down Contreras when they visit next week, pending any appeals

For once, I don't blame Contreras. I would have tried to beat his ass after a trope like that too.

Cubs got destroyed but PCA still got his double.  OPS up to .900.

Please explain why Contreras is less guilty than Cavalli.

He used a notoriously racist trope directed at Contreras in 2026. Please tell me you aren't defending it.

After celebrating in Boston’s dugout, cameras captured a visibly upset Contreras crying — with the veteran first baseman overcome with emotion amid the tragedy playing out in his native Venezuela following a pair of devastating earthquakes last week.

The death toll from both earthquakes has surpassed 1,700 as of Monday night, with Contreras raising funds and spreading the word about ways to assist recovery efforts in Venezuela over the last few weeks.

“It’s not easy to hide. It’s not easy just to show up and play with everything that’s going on in my country,” Contreras  said after Monday’s win. “I wasn’t feeling good the whole day. I was kind of down, sad. And I hit a homer. Of course, I tried to help [spark] my dugout. But the first thing that I said was ‘Venezuela.’ That was the first thing that came out of my mouth."

As reported by the New York Post and Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase, Alfonzo’s 16-year-old sister Eliana and stepmother Patricia remain missing. Their family was staying at the Hotel Eduards in Macuto when the earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude, struck on Saturday evening.
