No. Randy Bush is doing the negotiating.
It's going to be a money transfer, but if somehow player names start getting tossed around, i'm sure Bush and Theo will speak, with Bush calling Theo from a pay phone. lol

I want to see where I said Ramirez sucks.
LOL at CO thinking I was serious about him being GM.
It's a step forward for the Cubs, and I really hope this works out, though I'm definitely :nervous:

And how do you fix those issues? By getting a good GM. Duh.
Well that's for Theo to decide.
No dice, Hoss. Kaplan sucks.
No. But in this case it's kinda obvious that Theo is coming here.
Garza for Lackey would be the worst idea ever. Garza is way better than Lackey and cheaper.
Since when does Theo not want to be in Boston?
Actually most of the Boston writers have accepted he is coming here. It's mostly just Jon Heyman that is in denial about the matterr.
They could certainly use depth, considering only 1 of their OFers was worth more than 2 wins last year. If Crawford continues to suck, they could certainly sit his ass.
You're telling us you can't be objective on the matter. Thanks. Now stfu. Jackson is so hyped. He has no guarantee to be anything, like you seem to think. While I would love to see what he can do for us, if it's between one prospect and Theo, I'm taking Theo all day. Theo can build you the winner, while the prospect is just 1 player.
You are suuuuuch a homer on every Cubs prospect, I swear.
As for the Hendry question, that's just stupid.
No one would give a ****, though, because it would mean that the Cubs won a WS.
You're so funny.
You're being silly if you think that the Cubs are going to go this far and decide that he is too much.
No, no, no. You're assuming that Jon Heyman, Mr. I still don't think this deal will get done, is right. He hasn't been right about anything in this saga yet. Therefore I would take what he says with less than a grain of salt.

Playing devil's advocate:
Did anyone ever consider that Epstein's people may have planted this latest story to get the Red Sox to ante up and give him more power/$$$?

Your name is Captain Obvious...I thought this would be quite obvious to you.
It was speculation on my part but, the writing is certainly on the wall:
Rumors started swirling that he wanted more power with the Red Sawx (I.E. Team President Larry Luccino's job) and that his relationship with the Luccino was icy cold.
Then, these latest rumors started that he was on the verge of joining the Cubs.
Now, this stuff may have been planted by Epstein's people just to get the Red Sawx to ante up and give him the $$$ and power that he wants.
Doesn't sound like a person who wants to remain in Boston does it?

To my recollection.. Dews has never said Ramirez sucks.
When asked if he would take him on the Sox... well he said yes.
Since you can't turn down a good bat.

It's gone way beyond the point of those kind of tactics.
if they were doing that sort of misleading it would have been early. not now.

He may have planted the story. He may not have, as well. The sole fact that he is from Boston makes it *obvious* to me that he doesn't totally want out. There have been a couple of articles even posted in this thread saying he wants to stay, but he has to weigh personal vs. professional.
