Why does everything involving the Red Sox have to be such a clusterfuck? Haven't they learned anything from the Patriots? If you keep things quiet and in house it's much better for everyone involved, your team has more chemistry, and you win multiple championships?

Update: I guess I should qualify the above statement a little. I don't think the Sox need Theo to succeed - there are probably other GM candidates that could utilize statistics the way Theo did and do just as well as him. I'm just sick to death of all the drama: A-rod, Manny, Pedro, etc. Can't we have a normal offseason for once? And even though he is kind of the antithesis of a stats guy, it would be neat if Brian Sabean (Concord High School Class of 1974) were the next general manager of the Red Sox. Neat, but probably bad for the team in the long run.
