A little side-note in yesterday's
Peter Gammons blog will likely make Red Sox fan depression even
deeper. According the the
Hall of Fame baseball writer,
Carmine Hose GM
Ben Cherington had a deal in place back in 2012 that
would have brought current stud starter Jacob deGrom from the Metropolitans to the Red Sox. The guy going the
other way to Flushing? The immortal
Kelly Shoppach. When the Mets had second thoughts, they sent the equally-immortal
Pedro Beato to Boston instead of deGrom. Oh, the humanity!
