Red Sox/MLB 2024 Spring Training Part 4: - Ownership seems content with another last place finish in 2024

[Johnnyduke]

Netflix, you sure about following this team? But hey at least the season can be about the documentary and not the product on the field.

I read this https://nesn.com/2024/02/sam-kennedy-offers-insight-into-theo-epsteins-new-red-sox-role/amp/

However the radio hosts and its callers are sounding like I’m missing something here

Is there other stuff I’m missing ? Or can I take this and make my own interpretation?

They are saying he’s not going to be involved with the Red Sox and he’s looking to get ownership of another franchise

Is there another link I can read a story

They also said Theo is mad and Sam Kennedy had to come out

Where is this story about being mad

I don’t doubt it entirely but I don’t trust any hosts other than Greg Hill for not making shit up - it’s disturbing Greg Hill is the only guy I really trust but the rest are weak in sports knowledge and trolls

 

[Smitty93]

You can't make this shit up. The fact that they're punting on the season with this planned is hilarious.

Brock Holt hitting their instagram announcement with a “can’t wait for these comments” lol

 

[Walkenthewalk]

Sam is lying

You can tell because his mouth is moving. His tenure with the Sox somehow reminds of this classic.

Interest kings

So tired of hearing this from the media. Can we just assume the Sox have been in on every ball player for the past 40 years and be done with it? Most of the reports are coming out after the player signs. The writers have to be trolling the fans with this stuff, right?

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

So they knew they could go cheap this year because they were bringing in the Netflix bucks, huh.

 

[BostonBob]

Interesting ball cap.

Mark’s kid

 

[Johnnyduke]

Of course they're not being paid. They probably had to pay Netflix to want to cover this team.

f***ing Milliken. Guy is such a ball washer...

 

[McGarnagle]

In what ways will it pay off to show the world how bad of a team you are?

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

f***ing Milliken. Guy is such a ball washer...

I figured he was doing his job. But what do I know? You're the ball-washing expert.

 

[Mione134]

Tyler isn't a bad guy. He's just telling everyone who the Sox signed. He's not happy with this offseason either. I dont see it as ball washing.


Good riddance to Kaleb Ort tho.

I bet he'll go to the Dodgers and become elite randomly

Sam Kennedy on Theo Epstein’s role with Red Sox: ‘A step to something bigger’ - The Boston Globe

At the MLB owners meetings, Kennedy said he could see Epstein owning and operating a baseball franchise in another market.

Kennedy expressed excitement to be back at work with Epstein.

He also shed more light on his new role.

“We’re talking now multiple times a day like we did in the old days,” said Kennedy, “He’s not physically in the office and he won’t be — he’s not going to be involved with any sort of day-to-day matters. Just more high-level consulting for me and for John [Henry] and Tom [Werner] and Mike [Gordon] and for the other [FSG][ organizations. He’s going to spend the next couple of months getting to know people from the other organizations.

“Obviously, he’s got a great relationship with Craig [Breslow], which helps people in the front office, with Raquel [Ferreira] and AC [Alex Cora], he’s got long standing relationships there.”

Kennedy envisions Epstein weighing in with Breslow and the baseball operations department on free agent signings and trades.

“I think he could, if Brez seeks out that counsel, which I think he will,” said Kennedy. “Craig has been really excited about this. You know, Theo had senior advisers when he was in Craig’s chair. It’s a pretty standard thing to have someone who’s been in the chair before.”

Coming from the Globe it is very hard for me to believe any of that.

True but he’s quoted it’s not the writers opinions

I take it back. Let me correct myself.

Coming from Sam Kennedy it is hard for me to believe any of it.

I always think baseball is kinda weird...
90-70 wins your division , but 9-7 in football any you are likely to miss the playoffs

Milliken has taken a step back from the ultimate ball washer he was. Chaim Bloom and Red Sox ownership finally got to him. They're killing him.
