The Red Sox have signed GM Theo Epstein to a contract extension. Theo's previous deal was supposed to expire next month, but now the Sox will not have an unnecessary distraction as they make their way towards the playoffs. If you remember the Sox had a lot of that during the 2005 offseason. With Epstein, the Sox have won 2 World Series, and although he has made some questionable moves (like signing Drew, Renteria, Lugo), he has also done what matters most, and that is put a championship team on the field. Some people argue that anyone could do that with the payroll he has, but it didn't happen in the previous 86 years, so I guess he is doing something right. I like Theo a lot, and I am glad they are not screwing with him this time around. No word on how long the contract extension is, but we will let you know as we find out more.
