Flashback: Thanksgiving 2003

Thanksgiving 5 years ago marked one of the most important events in Red Sox history. Theo went to Arizona that November day in 2003, he gave up time with his family to eat with the Schillings and convince Curt that he could be part of something special.

"If we didn't sign Curt, it probably would have been the worst Thanksgiving of my life," Epstein said. "We tried to refuse, and Curt said it was a deal-breaker, they would be insulted if we didn't go."

The deal helped the Red Sox win 2 World Series Championships. What is Theo up to this holiday season? The winter meetings start Dec. 5 so get ready for some moves.
