Theo Epstein Returns to Fenway
The man who gave Edgar Renteria a 4-year, 40 million dollar contract has returned to the Red Sox organization.
After an 80-day hiatus, Theo has officially been added back to the baseball operations staff at Fenway.
His official title?
It's to be announced next week.
One thing is for sure: he will have more power than the two co-general managers who were put in place when Theo departed back on October 31, 2005.
And almost just as certain is that Theo will have less interference from Larry Lucchino with regards to making important decisions in the baseball operations department.
The majority owner of the Red Sox, John Henry, values Larry Lucchino for his sharp business acumen. Under Lucchino's watch, the Red Sox have quietly purchased several businesses in and around the Fenway neighborhood, including a McDonalds and an auto mechanic shop right next to Fenway.
But it's Theo Epstein who John Henry values most to head the baseball operations department.
The only big question at this point is what kind of contract Theo will sign. Will it be the same 3-year, 4.5 million dollar contract that he walked away from in a gorilla suit on Halloween?
Will it be more? Less?
Stay tuned.
