Until last weekend, I didn’t have much hope for the Red Sox’s search for a new President of Baseball Operations. If the general reportage is to be trusted, there were at about a half-dozen potential candidates that opted out of the search on account of Boston’s apparent instability in the front office. If that’s true, it’s sort of ridiculous (they’re still the Red Sox, come on), but at least it’s representative of the general stink around here.
For the first time in a long time, the Red Sox need something new and don’t exactly know what.
