    Manny needs to be a DH and STFU!

    If he wasn't such a headache, he would have been a Yankee a few years ago.

    Re: Red Sox dealt a blow......

    heh, the conflicting stories about why Epstein didn't sign the deal are amusing..one says he was tired of a 'power struggle' with someone else in the Red Sox front office, the other said that he didn't want anything to do with the 'rock star' status of being the Red Sox GM.

    Re: Red Sox dealt a blow......

    And there are others suggesting that he wasn't too enthralled with Larry Lucchino allowing some of the negotiations to be played out in the media.

    I dunno. I mean, if Brian Cashman can deal with a super ego owner like George Steinbrenner, I'd like to think Theo Epstein could deal with somebody like Lucchino.

    Did the Red Sox get a note from Epstein saying he was through as GM, and signed by his mother?
