Timlin Wants To Stay In 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 last week in an effort to start talks about a new deal to keep him in Boston. Timlin is eligible to file for free agency after the World Series. The two exchanged voice-mails last week but haven’t talked, Timlin said. ‘’I just want to be able to do this and get this done,” said Timlin. ‘’I'm not going to say I need two years. We’ll do what we can to re-sign with Boston.”
