We haven’t heard much from Theo Epstein since he assumed an ownership stake in FSG (which, if you paid attention to the comments from Sam Kennedy and Theo himself at the time, isn’t that surprising). But Theo recently made a podcast appearance and said a little more about his role vis-a-vis the Red Sox. In short, he’s a sounding board for “Bres.” (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)
If, during his counseling sessions with Craig Breslow, Theo ever suggested “turn Tanner Houck into a Cy Young candidate,” then that was pretty good advice. And if you think it’s too early to cal him a Cy Young candidate, you’re right — but, also, Garrett Whitlock would like a word with you.
