Thought so, they did say that there were still some details to be resolved though.

It sounds like the Cubs are just five outs from getting Theo Epstein.

I think most Cubs fans are excited because its a down the road type of reward. But Theo isn't taking Boston's scouts with him. I'm not sure how well the Cubs draft/scout, so if its purely throw money at free agents then we know how well Theo is (Crawford, Dice-K, Lackey).

Wilken has been running good drafts the past few years.

Ricketts went overslot this past draft and we a higher rated draft proving it..

Let Theo work with Wilken and Fleita. Drafts will be a annual strength.
