BoSox Blotter

As reported in the Boston Globe, Theo Epstein has turned down a 1.2Mil/3 year offer. It hasn’t been reported if that is the Red Sox’s final offer or not. I would assume the there will be another offer. Theo’s current contract ends on Oct. 31st. Word on the street is the Theo and “Evil” Larry […]

Oddly enough, I’ve read a few posts throughout the web hinting on a possibility of Nomar Garciaparra returning to Boston on an incentive laden contract to play either first or third base. First, no chance in hell. But, worth looking at anyway.

When Nomar left the Red Sox in 2004, and not on his terms but […]

Strangley, it feels a bit silly not being able to watch and root for the Red Sox in the World Series this year. And, I have to admit I haven’t followed the series religiously. Since the start of the post season I thought Chicago had a good team. They are well rounded and present a […]

Perhaps the first of the off-season acquisitions, the Red Sox organization have hired DeMarlo Hale, the former Texas Rangers first base coach after learning of David Sveum’s departure. Supposively, the Sox had been eying Hale since 2003, and with Terry Francona’s experience with and admiration of the coach, the Sox believe he will be an […]

Recent articles lately have insinuated that there was indeed a rumored Manny for Beltran trade in the works around July 31, 2005. Thank goodness that didn’t happen. I still hope we don’t trade Manny this offseason, but anything goes, I guess.

If Ramirez does request to be traded, Genske (Rameriz’s agent) says “his preference would be […]

There’s no way Theo could feel this way:
Epstein’s contract expires Oct. 31, and while one close associate said yesterday he expected a deal to be reached, he also expressed surprise it has gotten to this point. Had a deal been struck in the spring, it would not be hanging over the club now.

Does anyone remember […]

With most likely an inevitable trade of David Wells coming, the Red Sox will have only 3 starting pitchers under contract for 2006 (Curt Schilling, Tim Wakefield, and Matt Clement). Whether the Sox offer arbitration to Wade Miller and/or Bronson Arroyo, or go after free agents and trades, is anyone’s guess.

On the other hand, I’d […]

Many reports are abound that Red Sox pitcher David Wells has requested a trade to the West coast to finish his career.
Wells, who turns 43 May 20 and plans to have knee surgery this winter, has conveyed to the Red Sox a desire to finish his career on the West Coast — he has a […]

As any true Sox fan will know, today mark’s the date that a year ago the Red Sox completed their historic ALCS victory over the New York Yankees. With no need to recall the scenerio(s), here’s an interesting section put together by the Globe on the day history was made by the “idiot”-ic Red Sox […]

Boston.com reported that legendary Atlanta Braves pitching coach, Leo Mazzone, agreed to a 3-year contract with the Orioles after meeting with the New York Yankees. This might make it difficult for BJ Ryan to want to leave, and certainly should help improve the O’s pitching staff.

I’m gald the Yanks didn’t get him, but would have […]
