Everything we know about Pedroia is that he is a pure and unadulterated baseball player. If Youk was stirring s*** up behind closed doors and causing problems off-the-field, Pedroia would not have said anything. I have mixed feelings about the situation, and I don't think Youk or BV is blameless. That being said, Pedroia had his teammate's back, and from where I am, that seems like the right thing to do.
