I'm so hoping that we'll see Ricketts with Theo, Hoyer and McLeod at the presser on Tuesday.

 

There's actually a good chance of that happening, I'd think. Unless Moorad goes crazy, it sounds like it'll be a pretty easy transition to get Hoyer and McLeod signed and in town now that Theo's official.

hoyer will probably get his own presser, but it would be awesome if they all came out tuesday together playing nwo music

LOL this was exactly my thought. GOD IT FEELS GOOD. BETTER START SAVING FOR THOSE 2015 WORLD SERIES TICKETS YEAHHHHH

[C.C.]

I picked the wrong freaking week to go off the wagon.

What did we give up?

 

I feel bad that this was the first thing I thought when I saw Tim's post. It seems odd that they'd give out an official release before finalizing completely the compensation issue, but if the compensation issue was completely finalized, why didn't they announce it in the release?

I'm guessing Bud got sick of Boston pulling their crap and told them to let Theo go and he'd decide what was fair compensation.

 

I hope Bud doesn't decide what's fair. Maybe he intervened and said they had to go off the closest precedent to this situation? That'd be the MacPhail to the Cubs move.

As long as his first words aren't "Not one...not two...not three...etc".

Sounds like the press release was written by MLB.

McAdam: Hearing: Cherington and Epstein will try to complete compensation deal in next few days. If not, Selig could step in and act as arbitrator.

[17 Seconds]

[Brian]

Maybe Theo can get us AGon as compensation for our trouble?

[Rob]

Wooooo

[Guancous]

We'll finally get an answer to the pressing question on Tuesday: Was Theo really in that Starbucks?

 

Also, let me be the first to say: DYNASTY

That's good news if it means less involvement by the Lucchino/Henry duo. If nothing else, Epstein and Cherington could come to an agreement and then Bud would force the owners to sign off on that.

[davell]

Awesome news! Does this actually mean Theo is now negotiating his own trade though? Is that what this means?

[Cubswin11]

Someone needs to photoshop this image with Ricketts, Epstein, Hoyer, and/or McCleod's/new manager faces on it.

"The Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs jointly announce this evening that, effective immediately, Theo Epstein has resigned from the Red Sox in order to become the new President of Baseball Operations for the Cubs. The clubs also have reached an agreement regarding a process by which appropriate compensation will be determined for the Red Sox and that issue will be resolved in the near term.

 

Both the Red Sox and the Cubs intend to hold press events on Tuesday, October 25 during which the Cubs intend to announce Mr. Epstein, and the Red Sox intend to announce his successor as General Manager.

 

Out of respect for the World Series, both clubs have agreed to forego further comment until Tuesday, the next scheduled non-game day."

 

So there will be some kind of hearing? Obviously Bud got involved

Just to be clear on this: compensation has not been decided yet.
