Theo Epstein Quotes
«We've just had some quiet discussions, that's all.»
Author: Theo Epstein
«That's one of the worst parts of the job, but the alternative is unacceptable. The alternative is allowing personal feelings about a player to influence a decision and have the Red Sox be worse off for it. That's totally unacceptable. I think it's clear that my ultimate loyalty is to John Henry and Tom Werner, to the Red Sox organization. Maybe I can have more fulfilling friendships in the clubhouse once I'm not [the] general manager someday.»

«I think it's important to have star talent. It's very hard to win without some combination of elite talent and tremendous quality depth on your roster. I don't believe that you have to have a household name or have to make $15 million to be a star.»
Author: Theo Epstein
«I won't get into specifics because that's all in the past, but there were some instances where, intentionally or unintentionally, some things that were best left confidential or best left in the clubhouse became aired publicly one way or the other. That's not good for the organization or building trust for the players. But now I think we all have one mind how to keep those confidences.»

«It's much better than when I left. It's just a lot better. I think there was a period of self-reflection on behalf of the organization that allowed us to ask and answer the very difficult questions about priorities and values in philosophy. The baseball operations now is fully empowered to carry out a philosophy that we think is appropriate and just, given our circumstances. We feel supported and I feel supported. Things couldn't be better around here.»

«It was a fair trade because there was tremendous talent on both sides. The Red Sox are getting more established talent, but the Marlins are getting tremendous upside talent and affordable talent. One side was paying a lot more money in exchange for the more established players. They weren't perfect prospects and we weren't getting perfect players.»
Author: Theo Epstein
«It can be a mistake to bring back the same team year after year. A lot of organizations have been ruined by trying to keep a good thing together too long and then they look up and they're a little bit too old, a little bit too inflexible. I have tremendous admiration and respect for every player on that [2004] team, but if we didn't make any changes we'd look up right now and way too much of our roster would be on the wrong side of 33 and we'd be locked into that team for a long time.»

«We think investing in Coco was a wise move.»
Author: Theo Epstein
«We have a lot of confidence in Adam Stern and Wily Mo Pena and the player that we're going to bring in. Through mixing and matching, we can find a way to stay afloat and prosper.»

«About 98 percent of this got done in Spring Training.»
