Red Sox News & Notes @ SOX & Dawgs

Things still remain quiet on As The Santana Turns as the Red Sox aren’t backing down from their original offers of a 3-player deal involving Jacoby Ellsbury and the 4-player deal involving Jon Lester. The Yankees and Mets are still in the mix but neither team is backing down from their offers either.

Sports Business Radio announced it’s first annual awards and named the Boston Red Sox the top professional sports model. To me this isn’t surprising as ever since the John Henry-led ownership group took over, the team has made a complete 180 turn from the previous regime.
