Executive vice president Dan Duquette is making the trip to the Red Sox's new facility. I wonder if the media there will want a few minutes with him.
Reliever Willie Eyre (groin) threw a bullpen session yesterday and said "everything's great." He'll do the same tomorrow and Friday and pitch in a B game on Sunday.
