Not resigning him as Duquette did, may have had as much to do with his attitude than him being washed up. I can't say I know that for sure, as I didn't and don't follow the clubroom chatter that closely of teams I'm don't follow.

Of course he wanted out of Toronto he went there w/ the promise of a competitive team and they didn't deliver. So, he had an option in his contract to get out and he used it.

That being said, him leaving Boston had everything to do w/ Duqette thinking he was washed up, and nothing todo w/ attidue, which he did have and probably still does. Funny thing is, they credit Duqette thinking he was washed up w/ getting Clemens to refocus.
