FORT MYERS, Fla. –– The Red Sox weren't hoodwinked. At least, that's Chris Carpenter's message.

Sox Rumored to Be Unhappy with Theo Deal
A tidbit from the rumor mill.
The Red Sox are impressed with Chris Carpenter's live fastball but privately they are not happy with what they wound up getting in exchange for Theo Epstein.

After a few months of bickering, the terms have been...
