Boston Isn't Worried About Who Yanks Will Sign
5th November, 2008 - 7:04 am
ESPN - Red Sox GM Theo Epstein claims that he's not worried about what kind of splashes the rival Yankees will make in free agency this offseason.

"I'm sure they'll make good moves, but we don't plan our offseason strategy around what they're trying to do. We'll deal with the Yankees when we play them 19 times during the season," Epstein said.

"Our approach to the Yankees has always been just to respect them and sort of admire them from afar during the offseason and assume they're going to win somewhere between 95 and 100 games," the GM added. "We try to build an organization that can field a team each year that has a good chance to win 95 games. We figure that will be enough to get into the playoffs, and it has been five of the last six years." [READ]
