Joey Cora is the manager, didn't know that.  It says the Sox are not happy he left the season early.  Has this been posted anywhere and if so where?

 

Any reasoning? 

 

This was in the Trib.

 

 

There is a slightly longer thread (about 5 posts) in the palehose talk. He left when he was put on the 40-man in order to rest and prepare for Spring Training. Cora saw this as an extended spring training but Owens probably just needed to rest for awhile after a long season in the minors and then this league, and then spring training and another season.

That was Charles Haeger. Owens had continued to play after he was added.

 

Owens was still there... Looking at the leagues homepage, it appears that they may be in the playoffs right now. http://www.lvbp.com/

 

And if they're not about to finish up with their playoffs... Let's be honest here, it's 4 days until Christmas. With all the stories you've heard about Venezuela, would you want to spend the Holidays there? f*** no. You'd go home to be with your family and hope you don't get carjacked on the way to the airport.
