WikiLeaks: Henry Thinks Yanks Have Bomb

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Completely unreliable sources were used in this report]

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has reportedly unearthed a secret memo from the bowels of Yawkey Way that indicates Red Sox principal owner John Henry believes the New York Yankees possess a nuclear weapon.

"If they think anyone believes their YES money is for peaceful purposes only, they're crazy", the soccer and race car czar is quoted in a coded cable sent from Liverpool, England. He went on, "Obviously, they want to nuke [emphasis added] the rest of the American League by continuing to overpay for mediocre talent like Cliff Lee."

It's unclear whether Henry was using the term as a metaphor or if he really believes the sons of George Steinbrenner have a first-strike thermonuclear capability aimed at strategic targets in New England. In any event, there are likely to be red faces at the Winter Meetings next Monday after these disclosures.
