Does this give the Red Sox an "in" with the umpires from now on?

Hopefully, it entails telling the umpires the games don't take place in their asses, and, therefore, they should remove their heads from such.

What does this job entail?

Freeing Bud Selig of handling the umpires union that he forced down the throats of the previous union five years ago.
