Don't equate these forthcoming changes as a guarantee for a Title.

 

Last time I checked, baseball is still baseball, and the baseball gods make the decisions, meaning top players will make outs, prospects will make outs, non-prospects will make outs, and the real difference is the amount one pays for these outs.

 

The difference between winning and losing is skinny, especially in these days of drug testing. Go back and look at hitting and pitching stats in the pre-expansion era when coffee, caffeine, and speed were the drugs of choice, plus hot dogs and beer, and you will see what the standard was.

 

This change is no sure thing, but even if it was, what does it really bring you?

 

Not a paid off mortgage or a vacation home in the Keys, just worthless braggin rights????

 

Go be productive for your family, they are the only ones who care about YOU!!

Clarifying, for those not aware: Any announcement of Theo signing would come on Series off-day

 

Yes//RT @storm2midnight: @GordonEdes Would announcement mean that compensation has been agreed upon?

Who blew the biggest September lead in a playoff race in MLB history? Was it another epic Cubs choke? Or was it the culmination of 9 years of work from someone you guys are hailing as a savior for the long-term success of the franchise? Only he's not even our "savior" yet. We have to wait for the Cardinals to finish playing baseball first.

Unless there's something more than what's in those Tweets, that's nothing new. They can ask for permission to announce during the Series and they, apparently, did it to announce the sale of the team.

Comp. talks between the Cubs and Red Sox over Theo Epstein have progressed, and two sides are very hopeful the deal can be done Thursday.

I would [expletive] LOVE IT if it gets announced the same day that [expletive] hack job DeLuca's column is published.

Kap too

It appears that Cubs and Red Sox are close to finalizing deal that will allow Theo Epstein to head to the Cubs. Could be finalized tomorrow.
