The Sox offered him a contract that would make him one of the highest paid GM's in baseball. Theo was just to freakin greedy. What the hell does he want? Screw him if he wants to be a greedy SOB.

I don't believe it was the money rather the amount of control he would have.

Good for Theo. He might probably come back someday, when he's old and in his forties
But I am disapointed he did not sign.... |

I heard he was all set to agree to a contract sat. night but then Sunday morning he saw Shank Shaunnessy's column in the globe. It appears Larry Luchino pulled one too many fast ones. It reminds me of Belichick resigning from the jets to get out from under Parcells. |

I agree with BF. It came down to control. Theo wanted final say without Lucchino meddling. The Globe article was just icing on the cake. Seems like some things never change on Yawkey Way..  |
HAMMER TIME!
