BoSox Blotter

It appears at the moment that Manny truly wants to leave Boston this time. Who can blame him really? His owners of the last 3 seasons have not hidden their desire to rid themselves of his contract, even more so than they publicised the out-cry of why they “couldn’t” resign Pedro Martinez.

Unfortunately, Manny may not […]

Theo will get a pay raise, reports of up-to $1.5million. And Manny will keep being Manny with his $20+ million a year. Now, as all of you know, Manny wants to be traded and because of the 10-5 rule, he basically can pick to where. The Sox are sure to take a hit with […]

Josh Byrnes is now the General Manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ole J.B. is known for his top-notch statistical analysis of the game and players. Byrnes was assistant GM of the Red Sox since Theo Epstein took over as general manager in 2002. Both worked together to create the team that won the World Series […]

Sent 2B Mark Bellhorn outright to Triple-A Columbus; Bellhorn refused the assignment and is now a free agent.

Something tells me that this guy is going to have a hard time finding a job. I would dare say that he’ll never start again on a regular basis because he beat someone out for […]

Without any drama, the two corners of the Red Sox infield have filed for free agency. Boston first baseman Kevin Millar and third baseman Bill Mueller were among 62 eligible players out of 200 that have filed for free agency.

Yesterday wasn’t the day. Maybe today will be. All I know is that come October 31st, the decision will have been made whether Theo Epstein stays in Boston or not. But, I’ll bet we know for sure by Monday morning if not later this afternoon.

The latest reports from Camp Red Sox is that Lucchino and […]

Not many hours from now it will mark the true 1 year anniversary of the 2004 World Series Championship crowning of the Boston Red Sox. For those interested in reliving that sentimental piece of Sox Nation history, you can find a nice slide show over at Boston.com. Or, hell, buy any and all of the […]

The two Red Sox executives released a joint-statement regarding the Theo Epstein contract negotiation situation. Unfortunately, the statement didn’t really include any details of what progress has been made by the two.
“We had a meeting over lunch today to continue our discussions and to conduct other business as well. We made progress, but we […]

Today is the day, supposively, that Theo Epstein is to decide whether or not he will accept the position of GM with the Boston Red Sox. Obviously, MLB probably doesn’t like the idea of the Red Sox organization grabbing headlines away from the World Series news (Congrats, to Chicago by the way), but we’re Boston […]

The Boston Globe reported that Mike Timlin and Theo Epstein have exchanged voicemails expressing a mutual desire to keep Timlin in a Red Sox uniform. Perhaps the first contract settled after the Sox resign Theo as the GM, if they do.

Timlin, who severed ties with longtime agent David Sloane and is representing himself, contacted Epstein […]
