I sense a power struggle going on. Seems to me like the owners want Bobby Valentine, but the GM feels otherwise.

I think its the other way around but it is possible another "power struggle" or something involving Larry Lucchino (VP of the team and minority owner I think) is causing the delays again.

Either way it's embarrassing that the Red Sox have gone 2 months without hiring a manager, and the Cubs and Cardinals were both able to hire theirs in about 2 weeks time. I don't know what's going on, but they need to get their shit together because free agents aren't going to want to come to Boston without a manager. We should be talking about the Red Sox talking to guys like Mark Buehrle, but instead they're in the same place they were in at the end of last month.

Have they ever gotten their compensation from the Cubs for Theo yet?

Nope, supposedly that's going to happen after the winter meetings. I think they lost all of their leverage when they let Theo go to Chicago before deciding on who they will receive.
