Red Sox Mailbag: Compensation for Theo Epstein Could Come Down to Prospects
It was another quiet week on the Red Sox's front. The only notable move occurred when the team signed former Mets pitcher John Maine to a minor-league deal with an invitation to minor league camp as a reliever. That could wind up being up the last pitching acquisition of the offseason. On Wednesday, general manager Ben Cherington said the Red Sox would continue exploring options...

John Maine Expected to Compete as Reliever, According to Ben Cherington
BOSTON –– John Maine was once a 15-game winner for the Mets. Although the pitcher is four years removed from that career year, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington believes Maine can contribute at some capacity. "We're going to give him an opportunity to come in and pitch as a reliever and see what he looks like," Cherington said before Monday's Hot Stove...

Boston Red Sox Sign Former New York Met John Maine
This is more about nostalgia than anything impacting the New York Mets at this point. John Maine last pitched for the New York Mets in 2010, but he hasn’t exactly been useful since 2008 – and even then he only logged 140 innings. He was a pretty nice piece in 2006 and 2007 though. Without John Maine the New York Mets and their decimated starting rotation may not have been...

No Means Yes
John Maine said no when the Red Sox asked him if he wanted to pitch for them. But having the inside info on Maine helped them, as he is a habitual liar, so he signed the minor league contract. Hell the only reason the Red Sox got this far with him was that they gave him steak when he said he liked chicken.Hey, you gotta do your homework with these players.But if Maine tries that...

It’s scary that as fans, any team’s fans, we get hooked on new players and young players and changes of direction and we’re sure we’re going to benefit — if it’s March — this year or — if it’s September — next year. Yet we just don’t know. It’s the ultimate blind trust.
Theoretically, the future has never been more foreseeably agreeable for the Mets. If the...

Oh, How The Mighty Have Fallen
It is both incredible and disheartening to me how such a solid, promising ballclub has fallen to such a lowly state. A mere five seasons ago right now we all spoke of how bright the future is for the Mets; how we could be looking at a dynasty. Unfortunately, fast forward to the present, and we see a dynasty that never happened.

The Other Guy
Funny how things work.First off, one of the names that we've been talking about (not that the Mets are necessarily talking about him) to possibly replace Angel Pagan was a guy who used to be a pitcher and then, for the reasons of self preservation, became an outfielder. Well. we got that guy.But not Rick Ankiel. In the tradition of Mike Maddux, Gerald Williams, Robby Alomar, and...

On Monday, John Maine left the Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox, after posting a 7.43 ERA in 46 innings. Technically, he’s trying to come back from a 2010 shoulder surgery which was intended to deal with a shoulder problem that dated back to at least 2008, when they found a bone spur. But Maine has been injured for most of the last three years. In his career, he has never pitched...
