    What makes you think every other GM has the final say? Not trying to start another tiff but curious as to what makes you think that.

    HAHA I have been reading all morning from the Boston and Chicago media that its close with the Boston media claiming they're getting a significant return Cubs have zero pressure.

    I find it funny that SD let Hoyer go for nothing for a lateral move, while the Red Sox are demanding player compensation for a promotion. What dickwads.

    Also, it looks like the Theo deal is complete besides physicals for the compensation.

    I forgot to mention that Bruce Levine said that Brett Jackson, Trey McNutt, and Matt Szczur will not be in the compensation deal. So much for 2-3 top tier prospects.

    Jeff Moorad FTL.
    A source told ESPNBoston.com that Epstein originally asked Byrnes to join him in Chicago, but Byrnes declined. Epstein then turned to Hoyer, his longtime friend and former assistant. Hoyer went to Moorad, told him of the offer from Epstein and said he would stay if the Padres gave him a five-year extension. Moorad, though reluctant to lose Hoyer, the source said, said he would not grant him the extension and told him he was free to take the Cubs job.

    Regardless of my opinion of Hoyer, I'm surprised Moorad didn't think highly of Hoyer enough to persuade him to stay. Letting McLeod leave as well is worse.

    Welp, looks like I could be wrong. Somebody just reported that the Padres will receive two low level minor league players for Hoyer. But I stand by my point, compensation in this form should only be for lateral moves.
