Miami Marlins team executives were “outraged” Thursday over the lineup the Boston Red Sox fielded in a spring training game between the clubs. The Marlins implemented “super premium” pricing for the Grapefruit League matchup with the defending World Series champs, yet the Red Sox sent almost no regulars. Seven of Boston’s nine position players didn’t have any major league plate appearances, and the Marlins planned on contacting MLB, according to Juan C. Rodriguez of the Sun-Sentinel.
On Saturday, Red Sox owner John Henry fired back on Twitter, saying, “They should apologize for their regular season lineup.”
