The Boston Red Sox have had some very messy divorces in their history where a once star has fallen in the team pantheon of “greats” over an issue that usually revolves around a contract. We have seen it with Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens, and Nomar Garciaparra to mention a few. Occasionally it can be so with management where the axe has fallen on a general manager or manager.
However times do change and often sent away from the adult’s table does not necessarily mean being an outcast forever.
