MLBTR is reporting the Cubs and Theo Epstein are close to a deal and something might get announced within a day or two. Boston is looking for something big to come back their way if they're gonna let Theo walk.

Ben Cherington will probably take over for Theo if it goes through. Can't really say it's an absolute huge loss as Cherington has worked under him for a long time and probably learned some of his traits. I've heard Theo wanted to get promoted beyond GM, but those positions are filled long-term.

Also from MLBTR.
Baltimore has gathered 6 names for their GM opening. They are: Josh Byrnes of the Padres, Gerry Hunsicker of the Rays, J.P. Ricciardi of the Mets, Thad Levine of the Rangers, Tony LaCava of the Blue Jays and Dan Jennings of the Marlins. They all got an equal shot to be president of baseball operations as well. Former Reds GM Wayne Krivsky, Yankees scouting director Damon Oppenheimer, Phillies assistant GM Scott Proefrock and Rangers senior director of player development Scott Servais are also possible candidates. |

I'd prefer Theo bringing in Ryne Sandberg, than a Theo/Tito reunion in Chicago...yet I have a feeling that as soon as Theo joins the Cubs, people will start asking if Terry Francona will follow him.

Hopefully the Red Sox get some prospects out of this and not just cash. John Henry and the organization aren't exactly strapped for money.

And all it'll cost you is the low low price of Nova, Hughes, Robertson and Gardner! How could you pass that up? You don't need pitchers! You need hitters!

I highly doubt the Yankees or anybody is going to trade for Votto this offseason. He's still under contract for two more years.
I suspect that Votto's name will be thrown out repeatedly by teams trying to sign Pujols and Fielder as a way to saturate the market and lower their asking prices. |

The Marlins are reportedly looking to sign a superstar or two this offseason, however they do not want to commit to long contracts. As such, it's being said that they are mulling giving out the first ever 3-year, $100 million contract.
God that would be so hilariously stupid. |

Not as dumb as the contracts that pay 40 year olds $25 million. They'll easily make that money back on tickets and merchandising if they sign a Pujols and the player will still be young enough to sign another huge deal.

The Astros sale should be done around mid-november and ultimately, the team will move to the AL and play in the west division.
You also forgot Francona is a bit of a pill popper. |

I might not be paying close attention, but Buck and McCarver haven't been terrible during this series so far. Couple of cringe worthy moments but not too bad.

Texas has good hitting but didn't expect them to be this great against the Tigers pitching. 2nd game this series where they hit a bomb in extras to win the game.

Thought the same thing. Picked the Tigers on my show so I'm kinda hoping for a mammoth comeback, but I'd be happy with Texas winning.
