BROCKTON, Mass. -- It didn't take long for Theo Epstein to get another offer to be a baseball general manager -- if he doesn't mind cuts in his salary and the team payroll.

The independent Brockton Rox, who play about 30 minutes south of Fenway Park, offered Epstein their GM job on Thursday.

The team, which plays in the Canadian-American League, is restricted to a total player payroll of $87,500 -- far less than the major league minimum of $316,000 per player and far below Boston's $126.8 million payroll this year.

"It's assumed that Epstein is looking for a greater challenge,'' the team said in a statement, noting that Epstein could sweeten the pot for players with an $18 per diem and put them up with a host family.

Yay!

Oil Can Boyd and Theo: UNITED IN POWER!

Good to see he still has the passion for the game as he said in the press conference. Next year owners will be drooling over this guy.

I hope he has that passion when some random Red Sox fan sends Lucchino on a one way trip to a labor camp in Siberia and John Henry is sending him 250,000 dollars a day in begging him to come abck.

When I read about the job offer, seems to be a joke. Doubt Epstein accepts it, when any team at the ML level would be glad to have him apart of their organization.

The Brockton Rox love their publicity. They signed Oil Can Boyd last year to pitch.
