BoSox Blotter

Reading an article in the Herald got me thinking a little bit. Kevin Millar made some valid points about the oncoming change that will happen with the Red Sox, and formerly the Cowboy Up / Idiots.

The team’s roster is changing drastically. Both on the field and off. The first time in the history of the […]

Since there’s no Theo to send to the upcoming GM conference, it appears the Red Sox will be sending Jed Hoyer along with director of player development Ben Cherington, special assistant to the general manager Craig Shipley and director of baseball operations Peter Woodfork.

“Looking from the outside, it may appear there is turmoil,” Shipley said. […]

I wish I could find some of the deals the Red Sox parent company(New England Sports Ventures) finds, and I don’t mean David Ortiz for barely more than $1 million. I’m talking about the property around the park that one would believe is at a premium, but the business minds of the Red Sox organization […]

Recent reports are that the Angels are going to make a go at free agent Paul Konerko. The first baseman has said repeatedly that if he doesn’t re-sign with the Chicago White Sox, that his preference is to be with a west coast team, albeit the Angels perhaps.

The Angels are already a very formiddable ballclub. […]

Despite the reports floating around about signings by the Red Sox, most of them include Pitcher Mike Timlin, the organization has yet to sign a General Manager for the club. The latest news is that, rumored front-runner, Kevin Towers of the San Diego Padres has little interest in moving to join the Red Sox as […]

Since I get a lot of my reports from the Boston Globe, I’m a bit hesitant lately to publish anything I read coming from that source. So, take the following with a grain of salt:

Mike Timlin has reportedly resigned with the Red Sox for 1 more year at an annual salary of about $3.5 million. […]

I thought this was pretty funny: Minor league team offers GM job to former Red Sox boss

As is very evident on this blog, much support is casted Theo Epstein’s way over his departure from the Red Sox. But, what if it is Theo’s fault. That is, when you get down to it, what if he just couldn’t handle it and was immature with the business/media situation he was in?

Ian O’Connor of […]

As much as I doubt it would happen, wouldn’t it be nice if we could some how keep Theo under some contract with the club, perhaps as a million dollar advisor/consultant? Maybe until things in the organization straighten out. He says he’s not burned out, so the issue for sure resides with the Sox. Is […]

Although I agree to a large extent that John Henry is largely responsible for the actual failure to resign Theo, I’m sure it’s not him that Theo has a problem with. Many allegations stem from the organizations slow effort to offer Theo a contract. There were months of time to present Epstein with reasonable opportunity […]
