John Henry Hasn't Faced the Media in 2,260 Days, and Skipping Sunday's Presser After Firing Cora Shows He Has Zero Respect For Boston

Let's be crystal clear: John Henry owns the Boston Red Sox, but he's acting like he doesn't want anyone to know it. The Red Sox owner didn't show up to answer questions about firing manager Alex Cora on Sunday, the day after one of the most shocking managerial decisions of the early season. And that's not even the worst part.

Two Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Days of Radio Silence

Henry hasn't taken real questions from the Boston media since 2260 days ago, according to the Boston Globe. That's years of avoiding accountability. He was in Baltimore when Cora got fired mid-series in April, so showing up would have been easy. Instead, he sent Smarmy Sam Kennedy and Robot Craig Breslow to handle it alone while Henry stayed invisible. Kennedy claimed it was his job to talk to the media, but come on. A franchise-altering move like this? The owner has to be there. Period.

Not Even His Players Got a Word

Here's what makes this worse: Henry apparently didn't even bother to address his own team on Sunday morning. The guy who signs the checks couldn't find five minutes to explain the decision to the players. Former players are ripping the move. Fans are furious. And Henry is nowhere to be found. That's not leadership. That's cowardice wrapped in an ownership stake.

The #SellTheTeam Movement Grows Louder

The fan base has had enough. The chant at Fenway is getting louder, and the message is simple: this franchise needs new ownership. When your owner won't show his face after firing a World Series-winning manager, when he won't talk to the media for over six years, when he can't even address his own players, you've lost the room. Maybe the next time Henry faces real questions, it'll be at a press conference where he finally agrees to sell the team.
