This has to be the most exciting time in Ben Cherington’s career.
In one fell swoop Saturday, the Red Sox general manager lopped off more than $275 million in contracts (save for $11 million going to the Dodgers), wiping the slate clean. He now has practically a blank canvas on which to paint his own Picasso.

can we turn in our tickeets and get a refund?
Ben, Don't stop now. Send Lackey to LIMBO fast before he spreads his cancer to the new guys. You have to fire Valentine--Thanks Bobby we will continue to pay your contract. Ellsbury needs to go ASAP, he wants huge dough but he is always injured, seeya. Don't give Ortiz any more money-he is done-don't waste the dough he will injured 1/2 of next season. GOOD JOB and tell Larry to buzz off!
