Red Sox Hub Trade Rumor Central-June 12th 2005
More Details On Jay Payton's Red Sox Demise:
"Finally, outfielder Jay Payton was designated for assignment because he challenged Francona in the dugout after the manager placed Payton in the sixth spot in the batting order instead of the one hole, where Payton thought he belonged. " (Bay Area Papers)
Theo Epstein on whether giving Payton his out sets a bad precedent(paraph.):
"1:No player wants to have his luggage taken off the plane and dropped at a hotel across the street...and 2: I think that you should wait and see where he's going..."
"The Red Sox win with 25 good players...It (Payton-like, malcontent behavior) won't be tolerated." -Theo on Weei
