David Ortiz stated that Boston Red Sox owner John Henry is worried about the club's direction, which currently sits in last place. Speaking at his charity golf tournament in Newton, Massachusetts, Ortiz noted he had a recent conversation with Henry about the team’s struggles, as Boston trails the AL East by 12 games with a record of 25-33. Henry's public demeanor may lead fans to underestimate his concern for the team's situation. Ortiz emphasized that Henry is committed to finding a way to return the team to its previous success from 2004 to 2018, during which they won four World Series titles. The franchise recently made changes in management, including firing manager Alex Cora and several coaches in April.
