You try to turn adversity into opportunity. Everyone gets knocked on their (butt) sooner or later. It’s what happens afterwards that matters. No one’s going to remember April. No one’s going to remember the last two weeks. Everyone’s going to remember what happens next, and we have the opportunity to control that.

“It was more the player cost, the prospect cost, more than anything. We were pretty aggressive, I thought, in offering some pretty solid prospects, staying away from our top, top guys. That wouldn’t make sense for relievers. That was the nature of the market this year, it was deep in starting pitchers, deep in DH-type bats, pretty thin in relievers and outfielders. We were on the wrong end of that supply-and-demand dynamic this year.”

I was busy being smug, you always call me smug. It’s overrated. You should see me after hours.

BOSTON — For a couple of hours on Saturday, Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein will put away his BlackBerry and take out his guitar at the 10th annual Hot Stove/Cool Music concert, a charitable event to be held at the House of Blues across the street from Fenway Park.

It will be a rare chance to unwind for Epstein, who has had a busy offseason, adding an ace-caliber pitcher to his rotation and bringing in three veteran free agents who should improve the team’s defense.
Before settling on the blueprint that brought in John Lackey, Marco Scutaro, Mike Cameron and Adrian Beltre, Epstein opted not to bring back Jason Bay or break the bank for Matt Holliday.

In an interview with 98.5 the Sports Hub in Boston on Thursday morning, the GM elaborated on how this offseason came about as it did. He also spoke of why a trade for Adrian Gonzalez isn’t something Red Sox fans should hold their breath over, and how the Mike Lowell situation will resolve itself in due time.
