Joe Kelly's Cocky Response to 2018 Cheating Allegations Gives the World Even More of a Reason to Hate the Red Sox

You can go right ahead and add Joe Kelly to the list of current and former Red Sox players who are denying sign-stealing allegations from a couple seasons ago.

Of course, Kelly was a member of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox team in 2018 that's now under investigation by the MLB for said cheating allegations.

The now-Los Angeles Dodgers reliever offered up some pompous comments on the scandal, and Boston haters are now further justified to hate the Red Sox.

"Whenever the investigation is done, I'm interested in seeing what is in the investigation," Kelly told WEEI on Thursday. "If there is cheating involved with how good our team was, we should have won every single out. We should have not even lost an inning if there was some good cheating involved, which would have been a lot more fun because we would have won in four."

That's awfully arrogant for a pitcher that broke a window in his own home after managing to miss a ginormous practice net in his backyard. However, Kelly wasn't done spewing nonsense.

"We would have swept through the playoffs and made it really, really fast and been able to go to Hawaii or go to Mexico and go on vacation a lot sooner than we did," he continued.

That is an unbearably arrogant take from Kelly. In a time when the noise regarding Boston's cheating allegations had simmered due to the coronavirus crisis, the 31-year-old right-hander has provided everyone with the necessary fuel to bring this right back into the spotlight.
