Billy the Brave.

Billy Wagner didn't want to come to Boston unless the Sox agreed to not pick up his option and to not offer him arbitration. His wife convinced him that it might be worth it to go even if they did offer him arbitration and so he went. Then the season ended and his agent started making noise about accepting arbitration should it be offered but Theo was unfazed: We'd love to have him back, he claimed. Yesterday an offer of arbitration was extended and before the ink had even had a chance to dry, Wagner was reportedly accepting a deal to become the closer for the Atlanta Braves. Sometimes everything works out in the end. Theo loves his draft picks and (as of right now) he ended up with the twentieth pick overall in June. Not a bad deal.
