Max Bialystock To Handle Sox Playoff Shares

As an ever-growing number of players pile onto the injury-riddled Red Sox roster, the New Ownership Group has identified a potential problem down the road.

If the Red Sox somehow do make the post-season, the number of playoff shares could exceed the pool of available funds—not unlike the federal deficit (sorry for the obvious political reference).

In a pro-active move, Sox owner John Henry has announced the hiring of Max Bialystock to handle the distribution of possible playoff shares. Bialystock is highly-experienced at leveraging limited resources among multiple investors, and should bring a sense of calm to the issue. His associate, Leo Bloom, will also be hired by the Red Sox.
