Boston Red Sox GM Theo Epstein Admits ‘Regrets’ At Press Conference
Boston GM Theo Epstein spoke to the media a day after the Red Sox completed an epic collapse, failing to make the playoffs.
On the late-season collapse:
“I think you can certainly say across the board, if the urgency was felt, we didn’t respond to it...There were regrets. There was a lot of talent in that clubhouse. We didn’t get the results we wanted.”
On manager Terry Francona:
“Tito and I spent some time talking today. We’re going to get together [all of the ownership] and talk about the future...No one blames what happened in September on Tito.”
On slugger David Ortiz:
“I told [Pap] that I thought that he took his game to a new level this year. I was proud of him, the way he took that next step.”
