“The idea of keeping the most important thing the most
important thing, which should be the game on the field at night,” Cherington
said of what players with good guy reputations provide. “As many guys walking
into that (locker) room, where that’s the most important thing. Certainly,
everything we’ve gotten to know about Ryan fits that, the same for Lowe. We
have plenty of guys already, where clearly that’s the focus. We need to live
that out every day. That has to be the most important thing. Keep it the most
important thing.”
