John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, recently spoke with the Financial Times via e-mail about his plans for the team. In the interview, he emphasized that he and his wife have no intention of selling the team, stating their commitment to the city and region. He also made it clear that they do not typically sell assets and will not be selling the Red Sox.
One of the main topics discussed in the interview was fan expectations, with Henry acknowledging that fans expect championships nearly every year. He pointed out that fans can easily become frustrated when their expectations are not met, citing statistics that show how rare it is to win consistently. Henry also addressed comments made by Chairman Tom Werner, stating that the focus should be on building for the future rather than relying on past successes.
Despite facing public scrutiny and criticism for his words, Henry remains committed to his role within the Red Sox organization and Fenway Sports Group. He believes that those in his position often face public scrutiny and may be criticized for their decisions, but he remains focused on doing what’s best for the team and its fans.
