Red Sox address pitcher's past homophobic tweets ahead of MLB start.
The Boston Red Sox addressed pitcher Matt Dermody's anti-gay tweet from 2021 after learning about it following his signing with the team in 2023. The team met with Dermody and had him undergo anti-discrimination and harassment training. While the Red Sox cannot dictate their players' religious or political beliefs, they require respect and professionalism towards all individuals in the organization.
