For my Red Sox fans:
“Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington joined WEEI’s Mut & Merloni Show this morning and was asked about the future status of Jason and Tim Wakefield with the team:
‘I think those two guys in particular, given what they’ve meant to to the organization over a long period of time, they certainly deserve to hear from us and get honest and direct feedback on where we see things. We would not do anything else in the market that would block their ability to come back without talking about it first. I think they deserve that. And we’ve had some of those conversations. I also know that both those guys have a lot of pride and I think that they’d want to be back, only if there’s a real role on the team, an important role on the team, and that’s something we’re still working to determine.’”
