I'm actually slightly surprised that either Loretta or Lowell didn't get moved...but not disappointed either. Plus, both will reap first rounders and sandwich picks in the next two years when we let them walk. I think with all the rumors centered around the Sox working with multiple teams on multiple deals, I just had a feeling Theo would pull out something huge when we were all told that not much is out there. But apparently all that effort led to a frustrating conclusion for the FO.
I have to admit...when I heard Andruw Jones's name at work today - my favorite player since his rookie season - my face lit up! But hearing the asking price, it was a no brainer to say no. If it was centered around Coco, Hansen, and someone of lower caliber, I'm all over it. But combine those guys with Lester and there's just no way. Too bad, that would have been a dream for me.
