On Wednesday, Curt Schilling on his podcast “The Curt Schilling Baseball Show” disclosed that his former Red Sox teammate Tim Wakefield was diagnosed with brain cancer.
To his dismay, it seems to be information that was supposed to be kept private and hidden, as clearly evident from all the backlash he is receiving.
Jason Varitek’s wife wrote on X about Schilling for his incaution act on Thursday, she posted
“F**K you, Curt Schilling, that wasn’t your place!”
Most People around the Boston Red Sox and also Tim and Stacy Wakefield are beyond “furious” with this Curt Schilling action.
According to Boston Globe Red Sox reporter Pete Abraham, without permission, Schilling declared that the former Red Sox pitcher had been diagnosed with brain cancer.
Abraham also posted on X, he wrote,
“To say that people with the Sox and others around Tim and Stacy are furious is an understatement.”
The Red Sox were also compelled to respond to the situation because of Schilling’s unauthorized comments.
They said,
“We are aware of the statements and inquiries about the health of Tim and Stacy Wakefield. Unfortunately, this information has been shared publicly without their permission.”
The team also gave a statement saying to show support and care to Wakefield, they said,
“Their health is a deeply personal matter they intended to keep private as they navigate treatment and work to tackle this disease. Tim and Stacy are appreciative of the support and love that has always been extended to them, and respectfully ask for privacy at this time.”
