Red Sox CF Ceddanne Rafaela: 'We're ready'

“Yeah, it was tough,” Boston’s Ceddanne Rafaela said of the flight delays. “Obviously, wanted to get early in yesterday, get some some rest, and be ready for today, but didn't happen. We went back to the hotel, got some rest, and came in early, and we didn't take off again. But yeah, we’re here and we're ready as a team.”

Here's more from Rafaela talking about the plane issues and making the All-Star Game.
