Although the Theo Epstein compensation has finally come to a resolution, the Boston Red Sox have another headache from the Chicago Cubs on their hands. A Cubs fan bought the domain name to Boston’s new spring training park, JetBlue Park at Fenway South. Eric Engelman is a Fort Myers resident and life long Cubs fan. After seeing the naming rights story on the local news, Engelman bought the domain name for $8.00 on his wife’s GoDaddy account and redirected the website to NewYorkYankees.com
Unbeknownst to the Red Sox front office, Red Sox senior adviser Charlie Steinberg was made aware of the website blunder at a press conference when he typed jetbluepark.com onto his phone. Steinberg told media and Sam Kennedy, executive vice president and chief operating officer, “We’re going to have to look into that.”
