    Bud Selig did not settle the matter; the #Cubs and #RedSox did

    Carrie Muskat @CarrieMuskat
    Players to be named later to be done by April 15. Comp for Hoyer to get done soon. #Cubs #Padres

    Patrick Mooney @CSNMooney
    Hoyer says cash was not part of Theo transaction.

    Nick Cafardo @nickcafardo
    Cherington said he and Theo have agreed on level of players coming back as players to be named later.

    Pete Abraham @PeteAbe
    Procedurally, it's a baseball trade. So the #RedSox had to send the #Cubs something. Hence the PTBNLs.

    Only that second tweet interests me.

    I expect top prospects for Jed.

    I'm waiting for CJ to appear and say Carpenter is a GREAT prospect.

    26 MR with command issues. He has potential to be a pretty damn good reliever, but he's gotta figure that control out first.

    Though it's kind of hard to claim precedent on something that never happened.

    What's your prediction on the final compensation to the Red Sox for Epstein and Pads for Hoyer? I suspect it would be 2 AA players to the Red Sox and 2 A players to the Padres.

    I don't think it will necessarily be that much. At one point, the Cubs and Red Sox had decided on Chris Carpenter, before Boston backed out. Might be up to Selig to get it done.
    Oh hey the Red Sox wasted 4 months of our lives on something they were offered from the start.

    Quote Originally Posted by cjkalt View Post

    I can only hope. Worried it might be Castro right now.

    Re: Theo to Chicago Cubs

    Cubs acquired 1B Jair Bogaerts from the Red Sox as the player to be named later in the Theo Epstein compensation deal.
    The Red Sox already acquired right-hander Chris Carpenter last month (who needs elbow surgery), but they are still expected to receive a player to be named later. Bogaerts is the twin brother of highly-regarded infield prospect Xander Bogaerts. The 19-year-old batted .288/.387/.404 with two homers, 27 RBI and a .791 OPS over 47 games last season with Boston's Dominican Summer League team. He's still very early in his development.

    Have they officially announced Rizzo and Brett Jackson to the Red Sox for fair compensation yet?
