Re: Boston Red Sox - 1978 & Beyond (REPLAY) - OOTP10

I have been informed by the owner about the budget for next season. I will have $10,593,000 available for the total player & staff expenses.

Bob Bailey and John LaRose both informed me that they are retiring.

The player pool for the first-year draft has been announced.

[doncoryell]

Re: Boston Red Sox - 1978 & Beyond (REPLAY) - OOTP10

October 18, 1978

The arbitration period has started and here are the players from the club that are eligible this year:

SP Dennis Eckersley
2B Jerry Remy
3B Butch Hobson
SS Rick Burleson
LF Jim Rice
CF Fred Lynn

In addition, I couldn't come to an agreement with Randy Jones on a contract extension due to not enough money left for extensions at that time. I have offered him arbitration.

The arbitration period ends on November 8, 1978.
