Trump Curse: Red Sox Manager Who Refused to Visit President Trump in the White House with His Team — Is Fired for Cheating
This article I found on a fake news website, the Gateway Pundit, is obvious clickbait that has little evidence to link the Red Sox former manager cheating scandal to his refusal to visit Donald Trump in the White house.

A great way to spot clickbait is looking at the title and checking for misspelling, biased language as well as thumbnails with poorly edited images. However, if you do end up making it past the title and start questioning the validity of the information in the article, numerous websites scans articles, fact-checks and provides sources to back their findings. Google also has a tool that checks whether the a website is secure as well as most major internet browsers.
