    That was the most fun I've had watching the Bears in awhile. Good to see them handle Minnesota without too much trouble.

    Nah, he's better than that. I think his offensive ceiling is somewhere in the area of Carl Crawford with fewer Ks and stolen bases. He plays a pretty solid CF, too.

    Um. Whoops.

    Or they could just hire a different GM, who'd get this:

    I'm pretty sure this board would swallow itself whole if this manages to drag on for another week.

    Which do you think would hurt most? It's possible either would hurt most, but 100% speculative.

    The words "breach of contract" come to mind. Theo has an employment agreement wherein he performs certain duties, has authority over members of the organization, and is the GM. Stripping him of those duties or naming someone else GM while Theo is still employed by the Red Sox as GM would cause them a whole mess of legal trouble. That's possible, but 100% speculative. We don't know what options the Sox do and don't have, contractually. Which is why we must speculate about the Red Sox stripping Theo of his duties and title without any legal repercussions whatsoever.

    Keith Law knows best! If Szczur is Pierre, that makes Jackson, what, Jacque Jones? Todd Hollandsworth?

    Well hell, the Cubs skipped Castro from the AZ League to Daytona. If Candelario really is that good and ends up in Peoria, then I think we're going to be in for a show next season.

    I'd withhold the hearty handshake Give them Marquez Smith instead of Vitters and a fist bump instead of a heart handshake and it's a deal? first bump with explosion http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MUf4Eu52Nrs/ThxnBm-osMI/AAAAAAAAASQ/9QcXnafINLY/s320/respekKnuckles.jpg

    Seriously, screw the Braves for collapsing and letting this happen.

    I don't think this would hurt Ricketts a whole lot. He's the primary reason why these negotiations have made it this far. Everything is in place for Theo to come to the Cubs. If the Red Sox decide to submarine everything by demanding Castro or Garza, Ricketts will come off really well for turning them down. Plus, considering the compensation and amount of autonomy Ricketts offered Epstein, I have to imagine this would make the Cubs an incredibly attractive location for GM candidates. Ricketts is serious about building a contender and doing what it takes to win. He clearly would put his utmost faith and support behind Epstein. Imagine being a Rick Hahn or a John Copolella if this deal fell through? The Red Sox, on the other hand, are in a rough spot. If they kill this deal, their front office would be in complete and total disarray. Ben Cherrington had the GM spot in his grasp, only for it to be taken away because the owners were too stubborn? Why would he want to stay? Theo Epstein would sure as hell be disgruntled after that mess. What manager would want to replace Francona if they know the front office could change drastically in the next year? This should be fine, unless the Red Sox decide to do something incredibly stupid.

    Murder-suicide pact with Chocolate Milk.

    Holy crap a lot of the old guard is coming out of the woodwork for this stuff.

    Nomo had a ridiculous rookie campaign, but he never came close to replicating that success and ended up with a career ERA+ under 100. Kuroda is one I missed -- will be interested in seeing how his career ends up. Kuroda is available this offseason. He'll be 37 next season, but might be worth a 1-2 year deal to help shore up the rotation.

    Should runners slide into first base on close plays?

    You forgot Jim Ross. "BAH GAWD ALMIGHTY KING, THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY!"

    Imagine if this all fell apart because of compensation. We've heard of teams battling through chemistry problems because of disgruntled players. What the heck happens when you have a disgruntled general manager?
