00:00Should we start looking at Theo?

00:01I was very excited when Theo came in, Keith.

00:03I got an email about this over the weekend that I thought was interesting.

00:06And it's like, Theo, Breslau is a Theo guy.

00:11Theo was brought in.

00:12I thought it was my favorite thing the organization had done in like a decade

00:15was bringing Theo back.

00:16It was like one of my favorite things they've done where I was like, huh,

00:19bringing back a guy who's had success with Major League Baseball

00:22and with the Cubs and obviously with the Red Sox,

00:24getting him back involved in any way, shape, or form,

00:27even if it's more with Fenway Sports Group and more with the rest of the

00:30portfolio, but just to be an ear in the organization for the baseball team,

00:34like at what point do we look at it and say some of this is on Theo too?

00:37Is that fair to start looking at?

00:39Because I imagine Breslau's here in big part because of him.

00:43Yeah, but also he was not the first choice, second choice, third choice,

00:4712th choice.

00:48Like he eventually came in and maybe Theo had a little bit of hand in that.

00:51I was hopeful for a moment when they brought him in.

00:54And then was it early on when somebody was asked about it?

00:58And they're like, well, he's going to kind of overlook everything.

01:00And like, he's like just as much involved in soccer.

01:02I was like, yeah, which, well, I was like, I'm out.

01:04I got it.

01:04They said, I don't buy that though.

01:06Yeah.

01:06I buy that.

01:07Uh, kind of.

01:08He's as, he's as involved with soccer as he is.

01:10He shouldn't be, but I'm also like,

01:12I don't really understand the point of this.

01:13Cause then there's like, Oh,

01:14there's always those whispers about like,

01:17is this just added to the resume so he can eventually become commissioner of

01:20baseball and just sort of like putting this on the list or own his own

01:24club.

01:24Yeah.

01:24Something, I mean, something to that effect.

01:26Like it feels like they wanted him back,

01:28but obviously she's chief baseball officers beneath him.

01:31So it's like, all right,

01:31what role do you have and how much say do you have?

01:35You know, if they signed Juan Soto,

01:37maybe I would have been like, yeah,

01:38he's a little bit more involved.

01:39I guess this off season was a better off season than the previous ones,

01:42but I'm still not convinced that he has like a huge say.

01:45Yeah.

01:46I, uh,

01:47I was very hopeful when he came in and I guess I'm going to be consistent.

01:50I got to look at it and go, all right,

01:52well, where are things heading and how much blame is on him?

01:54Now I believe more in Breslau than I think a lot of people do,

01:57but if you're out on Breslau and you hate the job he's doing and you want

02:00him fired,

02:01and I know a lot of people do well,

02:02then you got to look at Theo as well.
