“There are differences, a little more freedom, especially not wearing a mask,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said Sunday. “But I’m not sure when we go to Minnesota (Monday), what we’ll do there as far as getting away from the hotel. But knock on wood, we are trending in the right direction, not just baseball, but as a country.”

“I don’t think anyone thought he was going to play today,” Sox starter XXX XXX said. “I know I was surprised to see him in the lineup, but that’s the kind of guy he is. Very seldom do you see him come out of a game, at least when you think something’s hurting or whatnot. I haven’t seen him ever, I don’t know if you guys recall, but obviously the situation yesterday definitely called for him to come out of the game but like I said, none of us were expecting him to play today and let alone hit a home run. That’s the kind of leader Jose Abreu is.”

“It’ll definitely be weird seeing them in different uniforms, but unfortunately that’s the nature of what we do. The Cubs have a business to run, and they have to do what they feel is necessary to set them up for the future, whether it be financially or the guys on the field. It’s a hard thing to separate, but hopefully those guys are all there and it’s a moot question and they continue to have that core.
