Rafael Devers and Pedro Martinez are no longer listed among the players scheduled to appear at Saturday’s Fenway Fest event.
A one-day replacement for the Winter Weekend held in Springfield the past few years, the Red Sox’ attempt to spark interest for the upcoming season is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Fenway Park and in the adjoining MGM Music Hall at Fenway.
Devers, entering the third year of his 11-year, $331 million contract, was on an initial list of team attendees from December, but has been dropped alongside Kutter Crawford and Zach Penrod.
Lucas Giolito, Tanner Houck, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Trevor Story are expected to attend after not being on the original list, as is Garrett Crochet, the team’s top offseason addition.
Fred Lynn was among the former players expected to participate, but posted Friday on social media that a number of flights he was supposed to be on were canceled, including one that sat on the tarmac for three hours.
Hall of Famer Martinez also disappeared from the alumni list scheduled to appear, with former catcher and broadcaster Bob Montgomery now scheduled to participate.
Roman Anthony and Kristian Campbell, Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year, headline the group of prospects who will be in attendance.
Among the activities at Fenway Fest is a preview and panel of “The Clubhouse,’’ the Netflix docuseries that followed the team last year, with director Greg Whiteley and players who were featured.
Tickets are $85 for adults and $35 for children (ages 3-14) and are available at redsox.com.
