Gordon Edes If Theo goes to Chi, Sandberg will be favorite to be named manager. Theo tried to hire Sandberg for Pawtucket last winter

I think this is a great possibility

Theo to Ricketts: "Give me Koyie Hill, and I'll trade myself for him"

@thekapman
David Kaplan Just talked with a Boston source who said Epstein has no issues with Fleita and Wilken being retained. Very high on both.

Both guys seem to be high on alot of list of good scouts

And Wilken will still handle our drafts then, and Epstein loses value as a good drafter... unless he forced Wilken to let him get more involved, lol.

I would think they'd both have input and trust each other's judgment. He'd also probably tell Wilken to check out the players' OBP and stuff too.

Assuming Theo listen to his scouts in BOS also. Cubs just not hiring him cause he good drafter. Still has alot of other value.

Only way i dont see Theo coming to Cubs is if BOS offers him around same amount of money. I have hard time believing someone leaves 2 mil + on the table per year. He has chance to have 4 + year deal on table rather then having only 1 year left in BOS

Yeah and to the people that kept speculating with Wilken and Fleita staying would deter someone from coming.

I told you all it is fine they are here.
