Looks like Chris Carpenter is heading to Triple-A Pawtucket (insert cricket sound here)

Chris Carpenter must be cussing up a storm right now. The right hand pitcher has been sent to Triple-A Pawtucket, for good (or until the Sox need him again)! Carpenter was on the Red Sox roster until the signing of first baseman Mike Napoli became official. Carpenter was designated for assignment in January and recently cleared waivers affording him the opportunity to stay within...

Sox Rumored to Be Unhappy with Theo Deal

A tidbit from the rumor mill. The Red Sox are impressed with Chris Carpenter's live fastball but privately they are not happy with what they wound up getting in exchange for Theo Epstein.
