"Lin, what do you think about today's game against the Red Sox?"
In Burkhardt's expectations, someone like Lin Guanglai, a young genius adorned with honors, was bound to be quite emotional and might even explode in front of the camera; but to his surprise, this boy who had just celebrated his 22nd birthday not long ago simply scratched his head and asked back:
"It's just a preseason game, Kevin—should I have any opinion?" Lin Guanglai looked a bit puzzled, shrugged at him, "Mookie Betts won't be playing, David Price isn't here either, I think you should ask me this question when we go to Fenway Park in the new season."
After saying that, Lin Guanglai turned and left, leaving behind Derek, who was laughing heartily, Ortiz looking displeased, and Burkhardt with a face full of surprise.
