Well, maybe
Theo Epstein feels closer to ex-Sox GM
Dan Duquette than he does with current GM
Ben Cherington, In any event,

So, at least one of Boston's credible starter trade targets is gone—to their chief division rival. Cubs starter
Matt Garza and closer
Kevin Gregg are also available from the North-Siders, but some of the
"Kum ba yah" feelings between BenCher and Theo might have evaporated after this Feldman deal.
