Wow. Epstein and Francona built that team into the powerhouse that it was/should be. It would be a tremendous loss to that organization to see them both go in one off season.
Boston is a team that relies on solid drafting and development which ultimately is Epsteins doing. Guys like Youkilis, Pedroia, Ellsbury, Buchholz, Lester, Papelbon all drafted under Epsteins watch. Big Papi was one of his first signings. Boston would be doing a lot of self inflicted harm if they did not hold on to Epstein.
Edit: My apologies Youkilis was drafted in '01.
