Drellich: Sox circle wagon around Pedroia's words in weird fashion

The Red Sox circled the wagons well, arriving at a unified message about the Dustin Pedroia and Manny Machado situation: this is behind us, and were all good. But it was a weird string of events that brought the Sox to that bottom line. Happy Hanley Ramirez decided he was going to be Matt Barnes public relations representative, running bubbly interference when reporters approached Barnes in the clubhouse. Ramirez then said there was no team meeting to discuss the fallout from that pitch Barnes threw too close to Machados head.
