  • Red Sox Suspends Alfredo Aceves

    Red Sox hand Alfredo Aceves three-game suspension after disagreement with Bobby Valentine | Big League Stew - Yahoo! Sports

    Geez is this ever going to end. Boston better fire Valentine after the season is over. This is getting ridiculous now.

    After finalizing their stunning blockbuster trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday afternoon, the Red Sox turned right around and announced that right-handed reliever Alfredo Aceves, who has served as their closer since the beginning of the season, has been suspended three games for "conduct detrimental to the team."

    It appears the incident that led to the suspension occurred after the Red Sox 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. With Boston holding that tight one run lead in the ninth, manager Bobby Valentine elected to use the man the team had planned on having at closer this, Andrew Bailey, for a four-out save attempt. Bailey would answer that call to earn his first save of the season.

    According to Tim Britton of the Providence Journal, the unannounced plan to give that opportunity to Bailey didn't sit well with Aceves, which led to a scene in the manager's office.

    Aceves was visibly angry in the clubhouse after Friday night's win, which was closed out by Andrew Bailey. Aceves slammed the door on his way in and out of manager Bobby Valentine's office after the game.

    Slamming the door.... that really warrants a suspension.
