“Hi, im Juan Soto how are you”
Why cant Theo just rep the org in these bigger deals? Werner is a snooze fest.
If we sign Soto, a big trade for an ace is a must.
Picture this: Juan Soto walks in and they all say their hellos, they ask him to take a seat in a nice recliner, the lights suddenly go dim, a projector turns on, a voice echos from behind him, *“The World is Changed… I feel it in the water”*. Tom Werner sits down in the recliner next to him with a bowl of popcorn – it’s The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition of course). They spend the next 2 hours and 58 minutes watching. Juan Soto stands up at the end with a tear in his eye and says “meet this time next week?” Of course, we know they’ll be 2 more meetings, not just one. And by the end of the 3rd, he’ll be in a Red Sox uniform.
“I would like to just start a cheer. Let’s go Soto. Let’s go Soto.”
They should tell him we can change our name to the Boston Red Sotos. That should do the trick.
That’s great, but he’s taking the highest offer which I’m not convinced the Sox will make.
We need to assemble the avengers squad next meeting. Papi, Pedro and Manny. All I want for Christmas is the next Ted Williams!

Ugh. Why? Surely anyone in Baseball Operatios can speak with more eloquence about the baseball team. Surely someone _who lives in Boston_ can speak about living in Boston.
Tom Werner is an incompetent embarrassment to baseball and the Red Sox.
I miss Larry Lucchino, who despite being an asshole, was a capable SALESMAN for the Red Sox, someone who sorta understood baseball and business and Boston.
