Something something evil empire something.
Who is he? Jacoby Ellsbury stole a base once. America stole tacos. Thanks to this amazing fast food promotion during the 2007 World Series, the speedy former Oregon State outfielder Ellsbury made himself a household name. Somewhere, Morgan Spurlock was cringing.
How did he get here? As the Yankees tend to do, Ellsbury became the latest player to play for both sides of the Boston/NY rivalry when he signed this past offseason. He has signed up with evil for the next seven years, but already things have apparently taken a sour turn.
Repeat offender? No

It's not that we didn't want Ellsbury...we did and still do. The Red Sox are a completely different team without him, but the Sox were not willing to pay what the Yankees would.
