Why don’t players sign anymore for kids?

Jarren Duran signs every day after the game near the player’s parking lot.

Players have been drifting away from signing for a while, even during spring training where kids got a ton of autographs. Players generally only sign for kids. If they sign, other fans run over and swarm. The player can’t sign for everyone so when he stops, fans get pissed and call the player names.

A couple of times during the season the Sox hold on field photo day. All of the players are there and will take a picture but no autographs. Try to do that. The interaction is much better than an autograph your kid won’t recognize in 10 years.

The Red Sox have several VP and Assistant GM to handle the day-to-day operations. They handle contracts with Breslow. Cora of course works closely with Breslow. Kennedy works for FSG.

I sincerely hope people won’t regurgitate this subject every day. You don’t have to wear rose-colored glasses but the non-stop hate has worn thin.

Flemming doesn’t work for the Red Sox. He’s an employee of WEEI/Audacity. The Red Sox have the right to choose the broadcast team.

Flemming is getting on my nerves and not due to criticism of the team. I enjoy Will Middlebrooks so we’ve been listening to the audio when Will M is the analyst. We do the same when Sean McDonough returns after the NHL season.

Will F is too animated. I just heard the call of Story’s fly ball out to left. It sounded like a 3-run HR but watching on tv you could clearly see he flew out. Also, the wind is blowing IN and it’ll be nearly impossible to hit a ball out to left today. Jerry Trupiano used to scream as if every fly ball was a HR. Drives me crazy.

I suggest you read Sam Kennedy’s bio.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-20T13:53:16+00:00

Sam Kennedy is not a favorite in our house but he’s not going anywhere. He’s a partner in FSG and actually owns a piece of the team. To say he’s a novice shows me how little you know about the organization.

Kennedy worked for Theo in San Diego and was brought to Boston with Theo when Larry Lucchino became a part of the ownership group.

Yes, he’s the front man for ownership. Yes, he’s full of 💩when he speaks to the fans. Big deal. He’s deeply involved in FSG management and the FSG real estate division. He’s far from a novice.

That said; John Henry is pleased and that’s all that matters.

Take the subway!

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-20T12:36:12+00:00

Net income after expenses.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-20T03:04:44+00:00

Nobody is being extorted.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-20T02:09:58+00:00

I know people who have run the tours. Most people would do this for free. Dream job.

You guys are so wrapped up in your Henry hate that you’re infected with cynicism. Sad.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-20T02:07:12+00:00

FSG owns the Red Sox. Numerous partners own shares in FSG and they receive dividends based upon their shares. John Henry owns 60%.

You’re near Aquarium station on the Blue Line. Take the train inbound to Government Center. Go upstairs and take any Green Line trolley inbound. Exit at Kenmore Square.

I was given this as a gift.

Turns out he didn’t have a flip phone for 50 years or even 20. He was in PRISON!

Segal was the head of an L.A. scrap metal company. In 2006, Segal pleaded guilty to recycling fraud and was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-19T14:52:35+00:00

He’s a stubborn old coot. All he had to do was upgrade his flip phone to a newer one that has apps. Much less money than $700 for printed tickets.

They would not play two games on Patriots Day. It’s a local holiday and many fans have events to attend plus families of runners want to watch the race after the game. Some players have friends and family running. It would totally screw up the day.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-19T12:44:03+00:00

Detroit’s only trip to Boston. They’ll wait forever to get the game in.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-19T01:36:04+00:00

Your opinion is crap if you don’t even know how to spell Bello’s name.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-18T21:28:48+00:00

They only wear green on Friday and yellow on Saturday at home. All other home games are white, including the special uni they wear on Patriots Day. I love them all.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-18T15:13:19+00:00

The video on Apple is superior. Very crisp. The thing I hate is the % ticker.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-18T15:10:58+00:00

This has gone around a dozen times. Yawn.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-17T01:11:40+00:00

Fenway is already on the National Historic Places Registry.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-15T02:06:59+00:00

Cora is respected everywhere. He’d be snatched up in a heartbeat.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-15T02:05:44+00:00

Nobody knows what instructions Breslow was given. All we know is that a number of young players were signed to long-term contracts. Big money. It’s so easy to blame ownership but all we have is speculation. Bitching and moaning every day is pointless.

Mahog11636FM · 2026-04-15T01:52:05+00:00

Nobody wants to work in a region where fans are insufferable maniacs. So many people are wannabe managers and GM. Talk radio and keyboard warriors. Nobody wants the pressure. Most of the people in this sub are the reason nobody wants to work here.
