Hunter Dobbins' father criticizes Red Sox after offseason trade

Lance Dobbins, father of former Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins, expressed frustration on social media regarding the team's decision to trade his son to the St. Louis Cardinals. Hunter Dobbins had a promising rookie year with Boston, posting a 4.13 ERA before suffering an ACL injury. The Red Sox traded him along with prospects for catcher Willson Contreras and pitcher Sonny Gray, both of whom have contributed significantly to the team this season. Contreras is currently hitting.286 with 11 home runs in his first 56 games with Boston. Lance Dobbins' comments suggest dissatisfaction with the Red Sox's handling of his son's pitching style.
