The Red Sox made an impromptu visit to see Trump in the White House on July 3. As a rule, the teams will visit the White House after winning a championship to celebrate with the president. In this case, the team passed because it was in Washingtonm, DC, for a match against the Nationals and had a day off.
Trevor Story, Justin Wilson, Abraham Toro, Romy González, Connor Wong, Greg Weissert, Wilyer Abreu, Garrett Whitlock, Brennan Bernardino and Rob Refsnyder all shakes Trump’s hand in the oval office.
“The team visited the White House today as part of their family road trip to DC,” said a team spokesperson, via Masslive.
The manager of the Red Sox, Alex Cora, criticized Trump in the past to the point that he has chosen to visit the White House in 2019 to commemorate the title of the 2018 World Series of the team.

During an interview on “The mayor’s office” Podcast back in January, Cora admitted to having jumped to meet Trump because he wanted to give priority to his country of origin of Puerto Rico. When the Red Sox visited the White House in May 2019, Puerto Rico was still recovering from the destruction of Hurricane Maria in 2017, and Cora was not satisfied with the response of the federal government.
“One of the things that – it’s not that I regret, but I think I should have been clearer – it was a visit to the White House,” said Cora. “I have nothing against the president at that time. It was Donald Trump at that time, President Trump, but I felt celebrating something at this stage [Puerto Ricans] was still suffering, it was bad. I didn’t feel comfortable doing so. “”

Cora says he would have felt “clumsy” celebrating in the White House given the state of his country at the time.
“We are part of the United States,” he added. “What they are doing for us is incredible – funding, all that – but there was still work to do. And I felt very annoying, like,” let’s celebrate this in the White House “, well, while many people have suffered here. People have taken it like politics. No. My thing is sport and my family, right?”
