Not like Nomar Garciaparra.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=3620\">Inside the CDC\u2019s mad scramble to meet RFK Jr.\u2019s demands<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>In December 2003, two months after the Red Sox\u2019 epic collapse against the Yankees in the American League Championship Series, the Sox agreed to deal savant slugger Manny and wildly popular Garciaparra in a three-team deal that would have delivered Alex Rodriguez and Magglio Ordonez to Fenway Park. It all seemed pretty done. We even saw Red Sox infielder Kevin Millar on ESPN, smiling, telling Dan Patrick, \u201cWe\u2019ll take A-Rod!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>The whole thing collapsed a few days later because of complexities involving Rodriguez\u2019s massive contract and MLB\u2019s Players Association, but the baseball world knew the Sox had been ready to part with both stars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It made for a big bowl of awkward at spring training in 2004, but Boston\u2019s \u201cslighted\u201d superstars took separate paths. Manny walked around smiling, saying, \u201cThey put me on eBay,\u201d while drum-tight Nomar sulked and said, \u201cThe priorities are obviously not for me . . . I was definitely hurt by a lot of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cMy first day on the job in Boston was after all that had gone down,\u201d former Red Sox manager Terry Francona remembered this past week. \u201cIt was unbelievable. Welcome to the Red Sox, right? Manny was yelling about being on eBay, but he sort of laughed about it and got over it. And he always hit. I remember John Henry telling me when I got there, \u2018Keep him on the field. That\u2019s your job.\u2019 \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Indeed. When the 2004 season commenced, after being \u201ctraded,\u201d Manny hit .308 with 43 home runs and 130 RBIs, then was named World Series MVP. He knocked in 144 one year later (remember days when the Sox had real stars?) and won a second World Series in \u201907, driving home 10 runs in the ALCS. He gave the Sox 4\u00bd more great seasons before the Sox finally dealt him to the Dodgers in 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Nomar never got over it. He suffered a mysterious Achilles injury in the spring of 2004, regressed defensively, and played only 38 more games for Boston, famously sitting out a critical loss in Yankee Stadium \u2014 a game the Yankees won in extras after future Hall of Fame shortstop Derek Jeter got bloodied while catching a pop in the third base boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cI knew he was put off by it and I understood that,\u201d Francona said of Garciaparra. \u201cI remember telling him one day, \u2018You might be Bostoned-out.\u2019 The circumstances were difficult. It was just time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>General manager Theo Epstein traded Garciaparra at the deadline on July 31, 2004, and the Red Sox went on to win their first World Series in 86 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe basically concluded there was no way we were going to have a happy Nomar Garciaparra for the last couple of months of the season,\u201d Sox CEO Larry Lucchino said after Garciaparra was finally dealt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Which brings us back to the talented, pensive, stubborn, and ever-persecuted Jaylen Brown \u2014 who knows the Celtics tried to trade him to Milwaukee for Giannis Antetokounmpo this past week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI don\u2019t love the fact any time it\u2019s a big, public thing,\u201d a chagrined Brad Stevens said after the failed bid. \u201cAs you know, we try to keep things as close to the vest and quiet as possible . . . I can\u2019t say enough good things about Jaylen. But I certainly am empathetic towards probably what that\u2019s felt like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Since the Celtics came away empty, we have yet to hear from JB (or his superstar brother, Jayson Tatum, for that matter) on the matter, but all of New England, all of the NBA, is wondering how Brown is going to respond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The last thing we heard from Brown came on his Twitch stream early Monday when he said, \u201cIt gives me more fuel to the fire. But all the people that are doubting me, or want me to do this, or want me gone or whatever, you\u2019re turning me into a monster.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>My Globe teammate Gary Washburn wrote that this may wind up being Stevens\u2019s \u201cbiggest blunder because of the risk of fracturing a relationship with a player whose number is going to be retired.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Is the relationship fractured? Does Stevens now have to make a deal like the Sox made with Nomar because his star is incapable of recovering from the notion that the team thought it could improve by trading him?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Hope not. Brown is a very good player. It would be a shame if he can\u2019t recover from this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Hope he can be like Manny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Not like Nomar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Quiz: 1. Antetokounmpo-for-Brown would have been a trade involving NBA Finals MVPs (Antetokounmpo in 2021, Brown in 2024) in the same deal. Name a time this happened. 2. Name six Hall of Famers who began their careers with the Montreal Expos (answers below).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 So once again, this Red Sox mess was all Alex Cora\u2019s fault?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 If you\u2019re a big league hitter or pitcher and you don\u2019t like an official scoring decision . . . there\u2019s an app for that. A batter who thinks he should have been awarded a base hit for a routine grounder that clangs off a glove can go to his phone and make his case directly with Major League Baseball. The \u201cI Deserve a Hit\u201d app is provided by the Players Association.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey can go to their phone and do it when they get home,\u201d MLB senior manager of communications Jeff Lantz, the recipient of complaints, said. \u201cSome guys are clearly doing it from their locker. We get all kinds of them. I think we\u2019ve had 230 of them already this year. The message is also received by the player\u2019s own team\u2019s baseball operations department. Team staff and coaches can also file them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=3618\">How Norway\u2019s first female soccer president brought the men\u2019s team back to prominence<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>After reviewing video and speaking with anyone who needs to be heard, MLB generally issues a ruling on any disputed scoring decision within five days of getting a player or team complaint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Best-selling author Harlan Coben, the scribe behind Netflix\u2019s white-hot \u201cI Will Find You,\u201d grew up in New Jersey but summered in Revere and spent a couple of his late-\u201970s high school summers at Camp Milbrook in Marshfield, where Red Auerbach held Celtics free agent\/rookie camp every August. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt was the greatest,\u201d Coben recalled this past week. \u201cI remember Norm Cook being a first-round pick one year. And then Cedric Maxwell. Maxwell would have to referee these outdoor games for little kids who were 8 years old. I did all kinds of jobs there. For a while I was Red\u2019s waiter and he\u2019d have two grilled cheese sandwiches with peanut butter. I remember Jo Jo White coming down to play in the night sessions at Marshfield High School. Mike Gminski was a counselor. Sidney Wicks, Curtis Rowe, Marvin Barnes. They all came down. Bob Brannum [1950s Celtics strongman] had a lot to do with the camp and he taught me so much about basketball.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The 6-foot-4-inch Coben starred at Livingston High School in New Jersey and played at Amherst, before graduating in 1984.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 A former Red Sox All-Star weighed in after Driveline\u2019s Kyle Boddy left the Sox to pursue other opportunities: \u201cI don\u2019t believe the Boddy [expletive] story that his influence lessened over the years. He is a former poker player that is trying to save face for the Driveline brand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Hall of Fame lefthander Steve Carlton went 27-10 for the 59-97, last-place Phillies in 1972. Sonny Gray this season is 9-1 for a last-place Red Sox team that has a chance to lose 100.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 When did Jarren Duran become a strikeout machine? He was at 96 going into Thursday night\u2019s game with the Yankees \u2014 a full third of his at-bats. He\u2019s on pace for close to 200 strikeouts and turns 30 on Sept. 5. He looked like a man trying to pick up a live grenade when Jake McCarthy hit his walkoff triple to left in Colorado Monday night. The Sox waited too long to trade him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Giants baseball boss Buster Posey is probably going into the Hall of Fame next summer but continues to scuffle as a big league executive. His hiring of college coach Tony Vitello as manager hasn\u2019t worked out, Rafael Devers is a disaster, and MLB is coming down on the Giants for mishandling their annual Pride Night. Posey\u2019s handling of the Pride Night fallout looked a lot like Duran going after that triple to left Monday in Denver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 The Athletic reports that 65-year-old Cal Ripken has taken an active role with the Orioles in an effort to bring back \u201cThe Oriole Way\u201d \u2014 the franchise\u2019s trademark from the mid-1950s until the 1980s, when the O\u2019s won their fourth World Series. Ripken\u2019s father, Cal Sr., never made it to The Show, but was instrumental in spreading the Orioles gospel \u2014 first as a minor league manager and then as a big league coach under Earl Weaver in the 1970s. \u201cThe Oriole Way\u201d was chisled by Paul Richards and maintained by the likes of GMs Frank Cashen, Harry Dalton, Hank Peters, and Weaver. It yielded at least 90 wins in most seasons and a raft of American League East crowns and Cy Young winners. At no time did the Baltimore playbook recommend ceaseless in-game celebrations by last-place teams. Ugh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Alex Freeman, the US defender who scored a goal (a header) in our 2-0 win over Australia last Friday, is the son of former Packers wide receiver Antonio Freeman, who caught an 81-yard touchdown pass from Brett Favre when the Packers defeated the Bill Parcells Patriots, 35-21, in Super Bowl XXXI in New Orleans in January 1997. The catch was the record at the time for longest TD reception in a Super Bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Victor Wembanyama, Tony Parker, and Rudy Gobert probably think they\u2019re France\u2019s top gifts to the NBA, but until Wemby grows up, I\u2019m bestowing that title on Bob Cousy. According to Cooz, his mother was six weeks pregnant with him when his parents left France, bound for America on the Cunard Line\u2019s \u201cMauretania\u201d in December 1927. Cousy was born in Manhattan in the summer \u201928 and grew up in a home where French was the primary language. He\u2019ll be 98 on Aug. 9. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Anybody else think of the late Billy Martin when they review the work of hockey\u2019s fiery John Tortorella?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 After a preposterous ruling by a local Texas judge ruled that gambling-addict Brendan Sorsby could return to college football, a big cheese in the NCAA told me, \u201cThis was just about the only time I can remember 99 percent of sports fans actually agreed with us!\u201d Sorsby took college football off the hook when he announced his intention to apply for the NFL\u2019s supplemental draft. The problem was in the lap of Roger Goodell, but the NFL declined to hold a supplemental draft, essentially shutting out Sorsby for a year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Hitting for the cycle is fun but somewhat of an overrated quirky event. Pete Crow-Armstrong did it for the Cubs on June 15, which got stat master Bill Chuck looking into the last cycle for each big league team. Brock Holt was the last Red Sox player to do it \u2014 in 2018. With the exception of the Royals, every big league team has had at least one player hit for the cycle in the last 20 years. The Royals\u2019 last cycle was achieved by George Brett way back in 1990.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 A.J. Beltre, son of Hall of Famer Adrian Beltre, is playing this summer for Orleans in the Cape Cod League.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Here\u2019s a nifty idea for Fenway Sports Group. The Red Sox have not lost 100 since 1965. They finish the season with six home games, against the Guardians and Cubs. If 100 losses is still in play, maybe FSG could roll out 1965 concession prices as a good-will gesture to fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 If you\u2019re at Fenway Park for the Red Sox-Nationals game Wednesday, check out the Second Step table at Gate A. Second Step provides free, trauma-informed services for survivors of domestic violence throughout Greater Boston and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Congratulations to Herald baseball reporter Gabrielle Starr and Celtics social media senior manager Mike Sivo, who are getting married Sunday afternoon on Cape Cod.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u22c5 Quiz answers: 1.
