Nomar to the Red Sox
According to the Boston Herald, the Sox have had "only preliminary, internal discussions" about pursuing former SS Nomar Garciaparra.
I'd love to know see the transcript of that one.
Jed Hoyer: "We need a shortstop."
Larry Lucchino: "Yes, we do. How about Alex Gonzalez?"
Ben Cherington: "Well, how about No..."
Larry Lucchino: "No."
Jed Hoyer: "You know, No...?"
Larry Lucchino: "No."
Jed Hoyer: "Let me finish...how about No..."
Larry Lucchino: "No."
Ben Cherington: "Yes, that's the first syllable."
Larry Lucchino: "No."
I wouldn't be against it, because I really don't want to boo him. And since he was traded, and extended his stay in Chicago one additional year, it's not like he went directly from the Sox to the Yanks...which would precipitate virtual life-long loathing.
The guy doesn't have too many options, and since wifey's not kicking the ball around, he needs to feed his family.
But, again, whatever.
