Red Sox Pitcher Hilariously Ignored Trade to Follow Routine
Boston Red Sox pitcher Erik Miller hilariously had to be removed from the field after being traded on Monday.
Erik Miller, a pitcher, mistakenly believed he had been traded to the Boston Red Sox on Monday. However, he refused to alter his routine until he received official confirmation from the San Francisco Giants. Maintaining routine is crucial for baseball players, as Miller aptly explained during an appearance on "Baseball Isn't Boring" with Rob Bradford from Audacy.
Miller was aware of the trade ticker on MLB Network, but he remained determined to go about his business. Despite seeing his name on the ticker, he proceeded to play catch before his former team, the San Francisco Giants, faced the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park. The Giants were in the midst of another trade, sending outfielder Heliot Ramos to the New York Yankees.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, were wrapping up a deal to acquire former top prospect Marcelo Mayer. Miller initially went through most of his routine, but he was ultimately informed that he was no longer part of the team.
