And then Heyman to repost the foot injury in 5 hours

 

Meanwhile, Scott Miller chimes in saying that some sources are telling him Jackson tweaked his foot while others are saying he did not.

 

Unless things change, Brett Jackson tweaked his foot. If they do change, he did not.

 

hahaha yes thats clasic Heyman

 

"I believe the odds are 25-75 percent that Jackson tweaked his foot."

Yeah, it's a hip flexor injury.

 

@thekaplan is the worst.

If I was a top Cub prospect, I would be having all kinds of fun with this situation.

How is that?

@thekapman: Sources tell me Matt Szczur didn't finish his second P'zone. In a hurry to get to Boston?

[ScrubMD]

@CarrieMuskat: P'zones are really filling. Chillax

[Rob]

@JonHeyman: P'zones are disgusting. They're always cold by the time I get to them.

LOL!

Carlos Pena told the Chicago Sun-Times that he's excited to see what the Cubs can do under Epstein. Pena, a free agent after the season, hinted that Epstein's presence makes Chicago an even more desirable place to play.

 

Yeeeeah....about that....

Report: Area man can't figure out if it's cute or sad that Carlos Pena doesn't know his contract has expired already.

[Yeti]

so, would guessing there has been no real movement on this today be correct?

I'd still talk nice about a place that was about to write me a $5,000,000.00 check.

There was huge, gigantic news, but we're just so cool we act like nothing happened.

Rival GM: "Cubs should just keep saying no (on compensation for Theo). What are the Red Sox going to do -- bring Theo back? No way."

Olney's been spot on about this thing from the beginning. He's right about this too.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BOSTON HAS ALL THE LEVERAGE. THE CUBS WILL GIVE UP CASTRO AND JACKSON OR NO THEO FOR YOU.

Despite people like C.C. and davearm2 trying to rain on everyone's parade, Boston has had very little leverage in terms of demanding or trying to work out "extra" compensation. The Cubs' reported financial offer is more than fair given what Theo had left on his contract and I have little doubt they'd be willing to give up 1-2 mid-tier prospects in addition to that. The Red Sox are a PR mess right now and they're trying to salvage something that they can spin as a "victory" out of all this and they're trying to do so by fighting for a shiny new prospect they can show off, but it sounds like Ricketts is holding fast. Sure, it's not impossible for the Red Sox to walk away and damn Theo to a year in baseball purgatory...but it's extremely unlikely that they would do so, and everyone knows it. They tried to posture, thinking they could push around the money guy behind the Cubs and it doesn't seem to be working. Now they'll let it technically drag out through the weekend before announcing on Monday that everything is finalized. Press conference on Tuesday, all is well: BOOK IT.

[Epsteenie]

The Sons of Sam Horn guys are really taking their frustration out on us Cubs fans. I'd normally be upset, but it's actually kind of funny.
