There's a press conference scheduled for 1 p.m. today. While it would be nice to get answers at the conference (just to satisfy curiosity), I'm guessing that it will mostly be an airing of pleasantries.
On a somewhat-related note, the Globe is taking a lot of heat for this story. Not only were they wrong on the scoop (which happens sometimes), but Shaughnessy's Sunday column is getting partial blame for the situation. While I dislike blaming the media for things like this, if you read Shaughnessy's column, it was impossible not to come away thinking that it was biased towards Lucchino. There was even a sort of mea culpa on Shaugnessy's part in Tuesday's Globe, although not as much as some people would have liked.
The fact that the Globe has an ownership stake in the Sox only fuels the fire; if I were the Herald, this would be better than a birthday present. Forget Lucchino or Epstein's image; all in all, the Globe may come out of this looking the worst.
