"Oil Can" won't play for Nashua, N.H., team after all

NASHUA, N.H. -- Former Red Sox pitcher Dennis ``Oil Can'' Boyd won't be playing with the Nashua Pride after all.

The team has voided an agreement with Boyd to play this season, less than a week after announcing a tentative deal last week. The deal was contingent on a favorable resolution to Boyd's legal problems in Mississippi, where he has been indicted on charges he threatened his former girlfriend and her son

Pride manager Butch Hobson said the minor-league team decided to void its agreement with the former East Providence resident after Hobson reviewed the indictment.
