Well, it's better that it happened
today than on Christmas Eve, but the Red Sox have officially cut their ties with
way-way-back-up catcher
Bryan Holaday. The team did not tender a contract offer to the backstop—who now is free to ply his version of the 'tools of ignorance' to any of the other 29 MLB teams. In his
wicked brief tenure in
Carmine Hose, the 29-year-old hit .212 in 34 plate appearances. Alas, there will not be a
Holaday Bobble Head Night in 2017.
