We recently reported on the fact that the Red Sox nixed a proposed 'package' deal of
both Jon Lester and
John Lackey to
The Evil Ones. Now, it's been revealed that
the General Managers of both the Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays had orders from their respective owners not to deal with The Bronx Embalmers. Kind of makes you feel all warm and fuzzy about Rays owner
Stuart Sternberg, doesn't it? Of course, it goes without saying, that we
already feel that way about
our dear leader,
John Henry.
