The Red Sox walked out of Scott Boras’ offices around midnight East Coast time last night with no deal yet for his client, Daisuke Matsuzaka, and a big question mark as to whether or not the face-to-face negotiations will resume.
General manager Theo Epstein said “the decision is up to Matsuzaka-san” when asked if a decision had been made after the approximately hour-long meeting. President and CEO Larry Lucchino added a no comment as well as “it’s pending,” referring to the status of the talks.
The Red Sox negotiating team, which included Tom Werner and a Japanese interpreter, as well as Craig Shipley, had negotiated with Boras for much of the day.
Shortly after Epstein left, Boras left his offices along with his Japanese interpreter. It was assumed that he was going to meet with his client, presumably to discuss the Red Sox’ latest and perhaps final contract offer.
Said Boras: “I’ll have something for you maybe later in the day.”
