Schilling speaks: I ''feel right again'' »
January 19, 2006
He's back -- and who else could we mean except Theo? After months of speculation and talks, the Sox announced that the former GM will rejoin the team, in an e-mail sent at 7:23 tonight:
"As you know, we have spoken frequently during the last 10 weeks. We have engaged in healthy, spirited debates about what it will take over the long-term for the Red Sox to remain a great organization and, in fact, become a more effective organization in philosophy, approaches and ideals," the statement said.
"Ironically, Theo's departure has brought us closer together in many respects, and, thanks to these conversations, we now enjoy the bonds of a shared vision for the organizations future that did not exist on October 31. With this vision in place, Theo will return to the Red Sox in a full-time baseball operations capacity, details of which will be announced next week."
The statement came from Epstein, principal owner John Henry, chairman Tom Werner, president Larry Lucchino and Epstein.

Tribe fan inquiring of the Sox fans - 1. What is the overall feelings on Crisp for Marte? 2. How does Theo feel about the possibility? 3. If he's against it, has he settled in long enough to stop the trade? 4. How important are the other pieces of the trade? I am trying to gauge whether Marte starts at 3b coming out of spring. I guess if they say the race is open in spring, that should tell you all you need to know - he's not starting out in Buffalo. You will like Crisp. He has become a video junkie and it shows. And, he has the wheels to patrol the vast cf in Fenway.
