    Looks like Ricketts is holding firm. Also looks like Epstein will be bringing one guy over with him, but who isnt known yet.

    I still have no doubts that this gets done. Friday could be a window to make an announcement, pending approval by Selig of course.

    I don't care what shiny new title the Cubs are giving him. They aren't paying him $15 million over five years to not do the GM job.

    Actually yes, there are. Epstein has already been making lists of GM candidates.

    Fact is? Ok there bud. We'll see about that. Im guessing regardless of what you get, it's going to be 'what the red sox want'.

    If they only take cash then you won... otherwise the Sox won cause Ricketts said it'd be cash only...

    Link or it never happened. Just because reports indicate that the Cubs only want to pay cash doesn't mean Ricketts ever said that.

    So if the Sox get two minor league players with very low ceilings then they still win? What happened to two or three top tier prospects?

    Of course in the end they get what they want, otherwise they wouldn't agree to it.

    If thats the case we'll have a debate but according to Nick Cafardo: The Red Sox are "holding tough" on their asking price and don't anticipate resolution tonight.

    I just don't think its a big deal for the Cubs to give up your best prospects cause (1) they aren't that great, (2) you aren't winning for 5-6 years anyways (3) Theo is more valuable than them

    Yeah, it's easy to say that as a Red Sox columnist. All the Chicago media is saying the same about the Cubs.

    I just don't think its a big deal for the Cubs to give up your best prospects cause (1) they aren't that great, (2) you aren't winning for 5-6 years anyways (3) Theo is more valuable than them
    Because no baseball executive is worth top prospects. I wouldn't be surprised if MLB is overseeing all of this to make sure nothing too big heads to Boston for Theo. They don't want this to be a precedent for future instances.

    1) Sure, we don't have a Harper in our system. But you don't know a damn thing about our system, so don't pretend that you do.
    2) Prove it. 5-6 years? Really? We have a shit ton of money coming off the books this year and next. There's no reason to believe this team can't compete by 2014. Last I checked, that's two seasons away.
    3) You are just being a homer.
