My friend Emily, who was working in the same office as me at the time, yelled over to my cubicle,"They just traded Bronson!"I knew it was a possibility. Against his manager's advice, he had left himself open to just this scenario. But I never believed Theo would betray his trust that way. A lot of people didn't.
What the hell did we know?
I blogged about it that day. A lot. And then continued to blog about it. Theo has no idea what he unleashed in me when he traded Bronson. Hell, I didn't even know.
Now, short of a year later, Bronson is one of the aces on the Reds pitching staff. My dreams of the Reds trading him back to the Sox for a bag of balls are long gone. All I can do is enjoy his success in Cincinnati and count the days when he's back in Boston playing for the hometown team.
