Keep in mind Boston execs are in a huge hole here. A lot of their players are on their contract years, they have a huge payroll, and now it could go down to the wire with Texas and Anaheim to even make the playoffs. There is no doubt that they lost a lot of talent trading Nomar for Mienkey and Cabrera. With the right press they can take the pressure off of them and put it on Nomar, so they are leaking everything bad they possibly can on Nomar right now. Of course when you trade an established superstar at the deadline while in the middle of a pennant race you are going to need to try any make it the players fault as much as possible. Not saying that Nomar wasn't a bad guy or any of that, personally I like him, but it wasn't him that fucked up as much as some of the others.
