Well, this story seems like it will never end. I have no idea when they will finally announce the deal, but at least one executive thinks the Cubs will end up paying a heavy price...
"One AL GM who is not associated with either team tells Nick Cafardo in Sunday's Boston Globe that the Cubs could end up paying a significant price. "I don't think MLB wants executives leaving their teams before their contracts are up and therefore he will try to deter teams from doing that again," the GM said (ESPN)."
This is the first time we have heard that the Red Sox will really be getting anything of note. As much as I want this GM to be right, I would be shocked, because like I said this is the first time we have heard this at all. Most of the time it was about a low prospect who we would likely never see. Then again, I guess it depends on your definition of "significant".
