Have you ever said something and
immediately regretted saying it? We suspect that's how Red Sox President and CEO
Larry Lucchino felt during his interview this morning on
WEEI's Dennis & Callahan Morning Show.
Gerry Callahan had just asked about the likelihood of
Mike Napoli's return next year—citing the obvious fact that he likes his surroundings here in Boston. Lucchino then talked about the non-monetary accoutrements that attract free agent types—like the "sleep room" for Red Sox players in clubhouse. Oops! Needless to say, the talk-meisters pounced on that one and groveled for every detail of the small room off the second floor of the Red Sox clubhouse—replete with bunk beds and white noise machines. If we weren't in the midst of one of the biggest positive turnarounds in Red Sox history, this story would be a real doozie.
