It’s safe to say that Matt Barnes has had, to use his words, a “hectic week.”
It started with the veteran right-handed pitcher getting designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox, the organization with which he had spent his entire career that includes a World Series win and an All-Star nomination and a move he said was a “complete blindside” in the moment.
It continued with a trip to Las Vegas for a wedding that he called a “blessing in disguise” and a chance to “let loose” while he waited in baseball limbo.
