[新聞] 新GM敲定:Ben Cherington
官網聯結 http://0rz.tw/EI95c
BOSTON -- While the Red Sox and Cubs continued to work out the remaining
issues that would finalize Theo Epstein's move to Chicago, Ben Cherington is
in the on-deck circle, with a strong likelihood that he will become Boston's
next general manager.
While there has been no formal acknowledgement by the Red Sox that
Cherington, currently the assistant GM, will move into Epstein's seat, a
baseball source confirmed on Thursday that it's highly likely.
Tim Brown of Yahoo, citing sources, reported that Cherington has already been
informed that he will be the team's next GM.
The Red Sox have steadfastly said they won't comment on their general manager
situation until there is a resolution. Epstein reportedly has agreed to a
five-year contract to join the Cubs.
Though Cherington has long been one of Epstein's top confidants, he actually
precedes his presumed soon-to-be former boss, who was hired in 2002, in the
Red Sox organization.
In 1999, Dan Duquette, then the GM, hired Cherington to be an area scout but
he was moved up to baseball operations in May of that season. He became
director of player development in 2002 and stayed in that role for three
years.
The Red Sox thought highly enough of Cherington to make him their co-GM along
with Jed Hoyer in December 2005. That arrangement lasted about a month, after
Epstein, who had left the club, decided to return to his post.
It has been obvious in the early stages of this tumultuous offseason that the
Red Sox have been grooming Cherington for a promotion.
When the club met with Terry Francona and made a mutual decision that he
would not be returning as manager, Cherington was involved in those meetings.
Last week, when ownership was briefed by Epstein on the club's search for a
new manager, Cherington was in that meeting.
With a strong background in player development and possessing the perspective
of a player -- he played college baseball at Amherst -- Cherington could be
the right fit to fill Epstein's post.
Cherington, 37, is also known for his strong organization skills and even
temper.
He was named the assistant GM on Jan. 12, 2009, and had since worked closely
with Epstein on virtually every phase of baseball operations.
Meanwhile, Epstein's fate hasn't been resolved, as the Red Sox and Cubs
continued to spend time on Thursday working out a compensation package for
Boston, made necessary because he has one year remaining on his contract with
the Red Sox.
由原本的助理GM Ben Cherington繼任為下一任GM
他於2002進入紅襪,一直是Theo的心腹
1999年由球探出身,2002成為球員發展總監(director of player development)
2009年成為了助理GM,從此他幾乎參與了每一次的決定
紅襪高層似乎在球季結束的時候就已經有相關的打算了
而Theo的合約問題還沒有解決,他的合約原本是到明年
