I am starting to think the Sox may be reverting to their old and ineffective ways.

I wanna hear that conversation when Epstein, or his subordinate, goes about telling the RS that he’s not worth all that much really. Frankly the moment Epstein was give permission to talk to the Cubs he was as good as gone and therefore worthless to the RS. Whatever they get in return should be of no consequence, although I do love the suggestion that the RS be forced to take Soriano and the Cubs forced to pay his salary.

Regardless of the Cubs, Theo wasn’t going to be the GM for the Sox this season. Even if he was still with the Sox, it’d be a lame duck year so what would get accomplished other than a media fiasco?

But make the Cubs pay every red cent of the contract. That will teach everyone that they need to work stuff out on thier own.

Toss the Sox a couple of minor leaguers and call it a day. I know that won’t happen because of the egos involved, but what is he really worth? He wasn’t going to help the Red Sox anymore.
