This is shocking. I know his tenure here as GM has been a rocky one, with 3 awful teams out of 4, but Ben did build a World Series team and he's been here since before Theo was in charge and since they came on board the Sox have had their greatest run of success since the turn of the 20th century.
It ended badly but I'll always look upon Ben Cherington fondly and wish him the best of luck in the future. It's a shame it turned out this way for him but dare I say that overall, BC had a positive influence on the fortunes of the Boston Red Sox during his time in our Front Office.
Flame way, gentlemen.
