| Is Larry In The Mix Again? |
Talk about your man crushes! With all the denials coming out of the Great White North, the Red Sox are
still staring longingly at Blue Jays manager
John Farrel to take over the Carmine Hose. The
Globe's Peter Abraham is reporting today that
if Larry Lucchino can reach a compensation accord with his good buddy Paul Beeston in Toronto, the former Sox pitching coach could be the new skipper. Of course, therein lies the rub—or, rather therein lies the
Rubby. Word is that our fine feathered friends to the North are looking for
Rubby De La Rosa as compensation—the premier pitching prospect we got in the
Great Nick Punto Trade. That's not happening. And
Clay Buchholz isn't going to need a Canadian Visa either (the guy the Jays asked for the
last time we wanted Farrell). Our guess is either Toronto accepts a couple of middle-level prospects or
Tony Pena becomes the new skipper just after the Evil Ones are eliminated from the playoffs on Wednesday night.
