Odds are he's pushing it towards a monetary resolution.

 

Which would make sense then, but I highly doubt Red Sox want money. They have no shortage of that. I'd think they'd want talent.

 

And the Cubs could be saying "tough [expletive]; either take the money or get middling talent." This isn't a done deal, but it's pretty obviously beyond the point where the Red Sox scrap everything if the Cubs are insisting they get max compensation value via money as opposed to a player or players.

 

Then the Red Sox say "[expletive] you! He's under contact and he needs to drag his ass back here!"

 

And completely torch their reputation among potential future young, talented executives who might want to join them.

 

 

I don't think Boston will ever have a problem getting a talented young exec no matter how bad they touched him.

They are more than welcome to take Jon Jackson off our hands

 

Take any of them but Jackson.

 

I agree. I won't be thrilled if they get McNutt, but I will honestly be pretty disappointed if it is Jackson.

Have you guys watched Lackey pitch recently? His command is terrible, and his stuff has deteriorated. I don't think it is as easy as switching leagues for a resurgence.

I'm sure he can be fixed by whoever that guy who's our pitching coach is

Yeah, no need to add more useless expensive contracts.

I hope Rick Sutcliffe gets that job. *fingers crossed*

Whoosh

 

Whoosh? I get the stupid Jon Jackson joke. That's not what I was commented about. Read the first post.

You should have quoted that post, then.

C.C., if you seriously think there's anything resembling a real chance this falls through due to compensation, please admit it right now.

 

Of course not. It's a done deal.

I didn't feel I had to spell it out for you, and I was too lazy.

Now I see why you were against the actual silly thread, it was too much to keep track of.
