One thought on “Rebuilding Of Red Sox Starts With GM Meetings”

  1. Quoting from Scott Lauber’s article:

    “Who’s making the decisions there?” he said.

    Three months later, there isn’t much doubt.

    Team president Larry Lucchino remains a forceful voice in the Red Sox front office, to be sure, but as Ben Cherington arrived for the two-day general managers meetings that open here today, he’s as empowered as ever in his 13-month tenure on the job.
    ———————
    How long before that changes to “Larry Lucchino is a bit like Jerry Jones” these days that are later combated by Peter Gammons reminding you that John W. Henry is already patenting a time travel machine but that Ben is still in charge.
