    Ben was the 2nd best GM in Boston Red Sox history. perhaps you can debate Dan D in front of him but that still leaves him top 3.
    I am hopeful C-BlOOM will supplant both of them and become our #2 GM/PoBA of all time. there is a good chance based on his history....

    I guess it was 4.

    And in those 4 years, he drafted 21 pitchers who reached the majors...

    His record on pitching was pathetic, drafting it or acquiring it.

    Re Pittsburgh the owner is rumored to want a wholesale reorg. I think Cherington' s first move after hiring the field Mgr will be reorg baseball ops. From what I have read. Pittsburgh is a mess. Cherington faces a huge challenge both on and off the field.

    I don't entirely disagree with the premise of your post but this ^^ is more than a little bit disingenuous. That whole thing wasn't exactly an arm's length transaction. Sale had effectively talked his way out of town. The only question was how much (or little) they were willing to take to get rid of him.
    It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

    Maybe the Yanks can work out some sort of work-release or furlough program.

    While true, there re two other factors.

    1) Bad attitude or not, the White sox chose to move Sale. He wasn't the first malcontent in team history, and won't be the last.

    2) The White Sox still chose the Red Sox package for Sale. They weren't the only team in on him...
