Dan Duquette

In the midst of the baseball playoffs, who better to talk to than a three-time MLB General Manager? Dan Duquette oversaw the Montreal Expos, the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. And he has very strong opinions. The Astros, in his view, should not be considered the World Champions of 2017, and the same scandal tag – stealing signs and banging on trash cans - still hangs over Red Sox Manager Alex Cora. A native New Englander, Duquette grew up having his heart broken by the Red Sox of 1967, ’75, ’78 and ’86 – so he was thrilled to help build the 2004 World Series Championship team by signing Manny Ramirez (the World Series MVP,) Pedro Martinez, Tim Wakefield, Johnny Damon and bringing both Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe from Seattle. Dan says he would take a look if another opportunity came along.
