What kills me is I don't even think this is that terrible a trade.  I don't love WMP's strikeouts, but I'm all for giving a young guy with his kind of power a chance.

If not for the discount Bronson took, I'd be sad to see him go but not upset with the FO for making the deal.  Regardless of what Theo is saying about there never being a 'gentleman's agreement', Bronson went against his agent's advice and took a deal because he wanted to stay - and this is the payback for that.

I hope WMP does well in Fenway, and I sense he will.  I only hope he can stand the heat when the Fenway Faithful start getting on him for all those strikeouts.

And I know I'm a geek (heh) but it really upsets me that Theo could do this so easily and defend it the way he has without a thought for what Bronson gave up to supposedly stay with the team.
