Is John Henry Purchasing The Boston Globe?

Back in late June, it was reported that Red Sox Principal Owner John Henry was expressing interest in buying the Boston Globe—the dreary, patrician broadsheet that has been bleeding money for years. The New York Times is selling its interest in the rag, and is reportedly asking in the range of $70-$120 million. Today, WEEI.com's Rob Bradford reported that Henry did not deny his interest in buying the 'Morrissey Boulevard Morgue'—saying he could not comment directly because he has "signed documents preventing comments". Uh-huh. Count on the Globe to be added to Liverpool, Roush Fenway Racing, LeBron James' Ego and all the other distractions on Yawkey Way.
