My Friday piece at Baseball Nation takes a look at the state of the Red Sox roster, both in 2003 when Theo Epstein took over, and today, with Ben Cherington in charge. No anonymous sources here, though!
The Globe's Peter Abraham has confirmed that Theo Epstein is indeed leaving the Red Sox and will take over the GM duties for the Chicago Cubs by the end of this week. So this, officially speaking, sucks.
SB Nation's Rob Neyer is hearing things, unspeakable things (so he writes them), about Theo Epstein leaving Boston to run the Chicago Cubs. Discuss, or cry, your call.
