Everyone remembers the saga surrounding Carl Everett. Houston was trying to shed his contract and couldn’t wait to get rid of their internal headache. The Boston Red Sox figured a change of scenery would ease the stress of dealing with a team that was no longer interested in dealing with his antics.
Everett was everything the Sox needed in 2000. General Manager at the time, Dan Duquette, figured a deal was worth it.
The Red Sox shipped rookie shortstop prospect Adam Everett and minor league left-handed pitcher Greg Miller to complete the deal.
