Back to Face A Cardinals Team He Never Wanted to Leave, Willson Contreras Lets His Emotions Flow
Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras, veteran standouts the Cardinals traded to the Red Sox in hopes of speeding up their rebuilding efforts, are back at Busch this weekend. For Contreras, it promises to be an emotional three games.
Throughout his career, Willson Contreas has widely been known throughout baseball a player you love when he’s on your team and hate when you play against him – a description that the fiery first baseman always coveted because it spoke to his competitive nature. However, this weekend Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is willing to make an exception with Contreras and the Red Sox at Busch Stadium and across the way in the visitor’s dugout. “After having someone like him around here it’s different because you understand how much he puts into it and how much he cares,” Marmol said for the love he still has Contreras.
“Now, I didn’t like seeing him across the way in Chicago (while playing for the Cubs). But it’s very different seeing him here now. “I care for that dude.
You get to know what he’s about, know him and know his family. Then, you learn why he’s as fiery as he is. ” Great to see you, Sonny!
