I’ll never forgive him for trading Mookie Betts! Such a bean-counter mentality!

RIP Tim Wakefield, 57

The Red Sox announced his death in a statement Sunday. Wakefield had brain cancer, according to former teammate Curt Schilling, who disclosed the illness on a podcast last week without Wakefield's consent. The Red Sox confirmed an illness at the time but did not elaborate, saying Wakefield had requested privacy.

"Tim's kindness and indomitable spirit were as legendary as his knuckleball," Red Sox owner John Henry said in a statement. "He not only captivated us on the field but was the rare athlete whose legacy extended beyond the record books to the countless lives he touched with his warmth and genuine spirit. He had a remarkable ability to uplift, inspire, and connect with others in a way that showed us the true definition of greatness. He embodied the very best of what it means to be a member of the Boston Red Sox and his loss is felt deeply by all of us."

@Region Philbis,
Makes me nostalgic for the good old days. They don’t make them like that guy anymore. He was an innings-eater…especially for a team that often lacked good relievers.

@Region Philbis,
Me too!

Apropos of nothing much, did they retire Bill Lee’s number? After Pedro and Big Papi , he was my fave.

[edit:I see it was retired…number 37]

@Region Philbis,
Sorry but wasn’t he recently a reliever? Having played for the RS (2006, 2012-2015). That was him still pitching just within the last few years. Did he do an advanced correspondence course in baseball operations or something?

Let’s see if he can get Mookie Betts back!

{edit: he has played on about half of the major league teams in his travels. As a college major in molecular biophysics and chemistry, he was often referred to as “the smartest man in baseball”. Now, how smart can he be if he chose to run the RS. Seriously?!}
