Theo Epstein couldn’t talk about the Carl Crawford deal on Thursday because it’s not official, but Theo Epstein doesn’t have a Twitter account.
Carl Crawford does, and it’s taken on a new red theme.
The left fielder’s official account, @carlcrawford_, features a Red Sox logo and the following bio:
“Starting Left Fielder for the Boston Red Sox”
His Facebook account includes the same words.
After playing nightly in front of the sparse Tampa crowd, it’s pretty obvious that he’s a bit excited to be joining the Red Sox.
Oh, and with just over 13,000 followers, Crawford should expect to see that number triple rather quickly.

Rajon Rondo was a quarterback in high school. This play is evidence that he could probably throw a pretty nice screen pass to his running back.
