Red Sox president calls season 'embarrassing' amid poor performance

Boston Red Sox president Sam Kennedy publicly criticized the team's dismal 2026 season, describing it as 'embarrassing' and 'unacceptable.' The team has struggled with a 27-39 record through 66 games, falling significantly short of pre-season expectations of a 90-plus win campaign. Kennedy acknowledged the disappointment from ownership and fans, emphasizing the need for improvement. As the Red Sox sit 12 games below.500 in June, their worst start since 1997, Kennedy's remarks highlight a critical time for the franchise in an effort to turn the season around with 96 games remaining.
