Dark Cloud heads to Boston

BOSTON – The Boston Red Sox have announced that Dark Cloud will become their Vice President of Baseball Operations. Dark Cloud was signed to a three-year deal, after the Los Angeles Dodgers decided to fire him after winning back-to-back World Series titles and their owner T.D. Schofield sold the club. “We’re delighted to have Dark Cloud join our franchise. We’re looking forward to providing our fans with an exciting product,” said Red Sox owner Shannon McLaughlin.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to help the Sox end the streak,” said Dark Cloud, who in thirteen years as a GM has won six World Series rings (3 in Oregon, 1 in New York and 2 in Los Angeles). “I’m obviously used to dealing with big city fans and I’m really excited about what we might be able to do here,” he said.

Dark Cloud wasted little time pulling the trigger on a deal, sending SP Johnny Mcnear and 3B David Fredrickson to Mexico City for Cy Young and Rookie of the Year award winner SP Jenavris Coleman and 3B Conor Jackson. “We’re going to do some dramatic things to bolster this ballclub and having a front-line ace like J-Coleman is a step in that direction,” said Dark Cloud.
