I was pleasantly surprised to learn, via the sports section of today's ProJo, that Johan Santana is being dealt to the Mets. Sure, he's a great pitcher, but this is the best of both worlds: we kept him away from the Yankees, and we keep such exciting young ballplayers as Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester, and Clay Buchholz, as well as Lowrie and Masterson.
In other Sox news, Tina Cervasio is leaving NESN to land a job closer to her husband in New Jersey. Cervasio proved to be a good sideline reporter, and we'll miss her.
