HBT: Sox owner has no plans to sell club

Last fall there was a curious report from Fox Business Network that John Henry and the other Red Sox owners were exploring a sale of the team. Curious because, unlike a lot of these sorts of things, it was not met with silence or businesspeak denials. It was met with a pretty pointed and specific refutation by Red Sox owner John Henry.

Today Henry met the media down in Fort Myers and once again made it clear that the Red Sox were not for sale:

?You just don?t get an opportunity to own something like the Boston Red Sox. As long as we can do it, the three of us are committed to being here,? Henry told reporters, while acknowledging team president Larry Lucchino and chairman Tom Werner. ?These thoughts that we?re somehow selling, those are just not true.?

In an age when a baseball team can sell for $2 billion, it?d probably be irresponsible to not at least look around to see what your team is worth. But it doesn?t sound like Henry is at all interested in getting out of the baseball business.
