Bosox manager Alex Cora might skip White House visit
NEWSWEEK / 1-18-19
Cora suggested he might not join his players and the rest of the coaching staff when they make their way to Washington, D.C., on February 15, due to President Donald Trump’s policies towards Puerto Rico.
"We'll see what happens," said Cora, who was born in Puerto Rico, while speaking to the Boston branch of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Thursday, per CBS.
"There's a lot of stuff going on right now as far as the government and the shutdown and all that. If I go, I'll represent Puerto Rico the right way.”
In September 2018, Cora criticized Trump after the president questioned official figures that put the death toll from Hurricane Maria, which hit the island in 2017, at 3,000.
