Red Sox Should Support Trump And Visit White House, Ex-MLB Star Says

EXCLUSIVE

The Red Sox should ABSOLUTELY take their championship trip to the White House … so says ex-MLB star Brad Penny, who says the team needs to support Donald Trump regardless of their opinions of him.

It’s up in the air whether Boston will make its post-World Series visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave … especially after manager Alex Cora publicly criticized the President in September.

But, Penny says it would be a huge mistake to not go … telling TMZ Sports the team should be there.

“You gotta go,” the ex-star pitcher says … “You support the President whether you voted for him or not … I think they just gotta go.”

Penny knows a thing or two about those trips … the 2-time All-Star went to George W. Bush‘s White House after his Marlins won it all back in 2003.

He says the trip was unforgettable … and Red Sox players would regret not making it.

In fact — Brad tells us he thinks Boston can send a strong message to those protesting Trump by going.

“All those protests and stuff, to me, we want everybody who’s in office to do good … I feel like a lot of people want Trump to fail and it’s unfortunate.”

Unclear whether Red Sox players will listen to Brad … but we know at least one of their pitchers is on board.
