- The Cubs were very close at that time to the deal with the Red Sox. One of the holdups may have been the medical situations of some of the deals that they agreed on.
- Levine called the situation a real tangled web, with Jed Hoyer moving to the Cubs. The front office will grow under Epstein and Hoyer.
- Theo will be the guy to call the shots. This is a lateral move for Hoyer.
- The media and fans are going to be talking to Jed Hoyer every day. Jed is going to be a very important part of the front office.
- Levine was told that there would not be any compensation need to San Diego, but some reports have said that there will be a low level prospect.
- Bruce was told that Trey McNutt and Brett Jackson are both staying in Chicago. Nobody is sure who the prospect going to Boston is.
- Bud Selig has not gotten involved much yet. He has allowed these teams to make the announcement during off days of the World Series so that the teams (San Diego, Boston and the Cubs) can be ready for free agency.
- Theo was probably the one who decided that he wanted a general manager under him. Esptein likes to have a lot of guys under him. At times, he has had three assistant general managers working under him.
- The Cubs going to add more people to the front office after Esptein and Hoyer. A few more guys from Boston and San Diego will become over.
- Levine shot down the possibility of John Lackey being sent to the Cubs. Starlin Castro and Matt Garza's names also came up during the compensation offers.
- Carem and Bruce agreed that the Red Sox have been set on dragging this thing out as long as possible. The Bo-Sox have made this as difficult as possible.
That's it for now, but I'll keep you posted.
