Theo does not squash down joining the Cubs, but still not likely as of now at least.

I'd be somewhat disappointed if the Ricketts didn't try to throw an armored truck full of money at the AL East GMs...it doesn't mean they're guaranteed to lure them to the Cubs, but they have to at least show an effort.

I found this very intersting from Muskat:

As for potential candidates, here are a half-dozen: Rangers assistant GM Thad Levine; Red Sox assistant GM Ben Cherington; Royals assistant GM J.J. Picollo; former Twins GM Terry Ryan; White Sox assistant GM Rick Hahn; Marlins assistant GM Mike Hill. Add those to the rumor mill.

So 5 of those are "assistants" that kind of makes me think Ricketts going cheap to sign a GM

I wouldn't mind getting a relative unknown from a high quality organization (Philly, Boston, Yankees, Rangers)

I really like the idea of Cherington from Boston. He seems like he's a pretty good bet to do really really well.

If Ricketts was serious about his "building through the farm system" thing, he will throw money at Friedman
