He was an offensive force. He was a clubhouse leader. He was a bit of a cult figure who was enormously popular with the women of Red Sox nation and generally a good guy. We...

It’s premature to discuss exactly what role Theo would have. All we’re saying is that we’ll keep a light in the window and the door ajar.

I think it’s fair to say that we left the door ajar for a subsequent formal offer. We wanted to sign Johnny Damon. We made a very strong and concerted effort to do so. We’re...

The areas are distinct enough, the responsibilities demanding enough, the particular circumstances of Boston challenging enough that it made some sense to divide this position up.

We don’t want to comment on what’s going on up there if it could have some negative implication for our team. And I think there’s no purpose. Everyone knows the rivalry is a heated one,...

Certainly Theo is a good friend of all of us, and he’s worked very closely with these guys in the past. The door has been really ajar for some time, and until Theo goes to...

I think it’s probably fair to say there has been general discussion about Theo coming back in some shape or form. It’s premature to discuss exactly what role, if any, Theo would have.

I don’t think it’s unprecedented. It’s unusual. But at this point, for the Red Sox, I think it’s the way to go.

While Theo was contemplating returning to the organization in an advisory role, he and I agreed it was best if he returned as general manager.

Theo’s an immensely talented guy who’s proved himself over the last several years here. And if he is comfortable and happy and feels he can be productive in this organization, in this structure, we would...

The generosity and compassion of Red Sox Nation, our players and the Red Sox Wives never cease to amaze, … We were touched and inspired by the eagerness our fans showed to assist the victims...

An amicable agreement was reached several weeks ago when the suggestion was made that the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum become the custodian of the ball.

You mean I have a lifetime job?

This series itself has increased our fan base. I think there are people in Monterrey and in the towns around here that care about the Padres.

Are we open for business? Are we listening to proposals and possibilities? We are. This is the time of year when you do that. Our guys at the general managers meetings are certainly approaching this...

Walls have crumbled, perceptions of one another have changed, and appreciation of one another has grown. As an enhanced sense of ‘team’ has emerged, we have rediscovered that, whatever our differences may have been, baseball...

There needs to be some give and take, or some exchange of preferences and places. So, obviously we have to work together, and we told him we would be willing to explore that. He needs...

a grim-faced Henry said. ”I didn’t feel it was appropriate for him to come here and defend himself over this issue. There have been things I have read over the last couple of weeks that...

We don’t comment on ongoing negotiations. As far as we are concerned, the matter is still subject to negotiation.

Tom Werner said this is a happy day for the Red Sox, and I agree. We?re a stronger, more effective and bolder front office.

He has asked us before, and it’s only reasonable that we explore possibilities, particularly at this time of year when all types of trades are considered and kicked around. So it seems respectful of him,...

The last stages of this did come as a bit of a surprise to us. We’re not going to go back and reconstruct the negotiations, and what would we have done. I leave it to...

For those of us who have been diagnosed with cancer, time is a precious commodity,

We are grateful to those who have purchased their tickets early, and we deeply appreciate this demonstration of support.

It has something to do with the comfort level he has in Boston, the city of Boston. I think it goes back to the basic decision to come here, when he made that decision. It...

Clearly, this study demonstrates that the Red Sox winning is good for the health of western civilization,

The Red Sox’ goal is to continue a corporate partnership with the Massachusetts Lottery that has already benefited us as well as citizens across the commonwealth.

I didn’t say that.

We have enough to worry about in our own camp let alone worrying about what everybody else says in other camps. I take that as an expression of optimism rather than as a prediction.

We were notified at 11:55 tonight that Damon had accepted an offer from the Yankees.

This group has the full confidence of the ownership and management of the Red Sox,

The time and distance from the scientist’s lab bench to the patient’s bedside must be shortened.

You really should go to the winter meetings armed to do business.

I expect that Manny will be here next week when he says he will be.

It is a sad day when the Players Association thwarts the will of its members, … The Players Association asserts that it supports individual negotiations, freedom of choice, and player mobility. However, in this high-profile...

Just what I need,

An amicable agreement was reached, and it provides a permanent home at the Hall of Fame.

He has made it clear that he would like us to consider a trade.

We’re happy to be perceived by most people as underdogs this year.

I can confirm that we are in the process seeking to sign Millwood.

Some made personal donations, … Others housed displaced families. Several attended fundraisers away from the ballpark. Many took pictures with fans to raise additional funds. It was a true team effort.

Supply and demand, … is a very attractive concept.

In addition to meeting with clubs to discuss trade possibilities, we do expect our baseball operations staff will have conversations with agents for several of our current free agents as well as representatives for other...

He had a special relationship with ballplayers, as he had with fans, as he had with the front office people. He was an open, available, uncle-like personality, and I think that is special. Baseball fans...

Henry added, ”and it’s unfair.

I think that’s terrific for Grady, and wish him great good luck. He’s not exactly a Hollywood, L.A. type of guy, but he has a kind of versatility that will hold him in good stead.

Henry said. ”He may, however, go to Palm Springs to talk with possible candidates, if there are any executives he has been given permission to talk with.

Between them, Ben and Jed have intimate knowledge of every player in our organization, from top to bottom. They complement each other well with their varied experiences.

When Major League Baseball owners unanimously voted to allow team logos to be part of instant ticket games, we then had an opportunity to create yet another innovative venture.
