Report: Epstein Maybe Close To Agreeing To Join Cubs

[UNHWildCats]

Reports say Red Sox GM Theo Epstein is close to agreeing to become the next GM of the Chicago Cubs. If reports are accurate, the Cubs would then need to come up with compensation that Boston would take to let Epstein out of his contract.

Sources in Boston say the Red Sox have not given up on a new deal for Epstein that would extend beyond his current deal and offer more than he has now... Possible scenarios could see Epstein bumped to either Co- or sole President of the team depending on what could happen with Larry Lucchino, perhaps dropping him as President and leaving him just his CEO title or perhaps bumping him up to co-chairman with Tom Werner. Another possibility is offering Epstein an ownership stake in Fenway Sports Group.

It would be pretty amazing if he could turn around the Cubs and win a world series with them since he did the same thing with the Red Sox.

Would likely seal up a HOF spot for him.

oh, without any doubt in anyone's mind that's for sure....winning not 1 but 2 world series with the red sox, first in 86 years and then winning at least 1 with the cubs who haven't won 1 going on what, 105 years now? would IMO make him the greatest baseball executive in the history of baseball.
