Harrelson, 27, whose flamboyant personality and attire coupled with his hitting exploits had captivated the whole city, said in announcing his retirement Sunday that it would cost him between $500,000 and $750,000 in lost business opportunities to leave Boston. "It was just not economically feasible," he told a news conference at the office of his attorney, Bob Woolf. The trade, announced Saturday, sent Harrelson and left handed pitchers Dick Elsworth and Juan Pizarro to Cleveland for catcher Joe Azcue and right-handed pitchers Sonny Siebert and Vincente Romo. The status of the deal, and of the other players, was up in the air in the wake of Harrelson's announcement. Many were comparing this situation to the Donn Clendenon case in the National League earlier this year. Clendenon announced his "retirement" after being traded from Montreal to Houston, but the deal later was consummated with two other players replacing Clendenon, and he returned to play for the Expos. "I don't know all the details of the Clendenon situation, but I do not foresee Harrelson wearing a Red Sox uniform," Boston general manager Dick O'Connell, said.
