According to multiple clubhouse sources, the Red Sox will be holding a players-only meeting later this morning concerning the issue regarding the coaches potentially not being paid the $40,000 allocated the players. Players are also concerned with off-colored statements made by Panama Chris in regards to Red Sox players being "homo's dressed in red playing in Japan and eating sushi".

The sources indicated that the players will be issuing a mandate to Major League Baseball that if the coaches aren’t paid, then the team will not be getting on the plane later today for Japan.

According to one player, the agreement originally approved by the players included paying the $40,000 to the coaches. The source further stated that PC needs to stop hating and reported that "People in Kansas City do not want to watch the Royals, so why in the hell would the Japanese want to watch them!!!!"
