Source: Cubs set to hire Theo Epstein
The Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox are finalizing a deal that would make
Theo Epstein the Cubs' president of baseball operations at some point
Thursday morning, according to a Major League Baseball source.
線報指出小熊今天會跟紅襪完成交易
屆時Theo將會是小熊隊的營運總裁
A source with knowledge of negotiations said: "The two sides are on the
5-yard line."
MLB already has told the Cubs that they can have a news conference on Friday,
according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
消息指出兩邊大概在五碼就達陣了
MLB已經告知小熊禮拜五可以開記者會
The Red Sox initially asked for Cubs starting pitcher Matt Garza, and at one
point proposed the Cubs take pitcher John Lackey's contract as part of the
compensation, according to a major league source. Lackey has three seasons
remaining on a five-year, $82.5 million contract. He was 12-12 with a 6.41
ERA in 28 starts for the Red Sox in 2011.
But the expected agreement will include Cubs minor leaguers, although not top
prospects Brett Jackson, Trey McNutt and Matt Szczur, the source said. Cash
will not be part of the compensation.
紅襪當初問的是洪其德, 還有吃掉發球機的薪水 ( OS:哪招?
不過現在的協議應該是小熊的小聯盟球員
不包括 Brett Jackson, Trey McNutt, 跟 Matt Szczur
Two other sources confirmed ESPNChicago.com's report that San Diego Padres
general manager Jed Hoyer will be named Cubs GM a few days after Epstein's
news conference. But Padres owner Jeff Moorad emailed ESPNBoston.com's Gordon
Edes late Wednesday night that the Cubs had not asked for official permission
to interview Hoyer.
另外兩個消息指出, 小熊將會在幾天後宣布,
教士現任GM Jed Hoyer 將會出任小熊新的GM職位。
教士老闆 Moorad 說他們沒有提出面試Hoyer的要求。( OS:我也是看報紙才知道
Hoyer will be granted permission to leave when San Diego promotes senior vice
president of baseball operations Josh Byrnes to vice president-general
manager, a source said. Byrnes was GM of the Arizona Diamondbacks when Moorad
was part-owner of the team. Sources said Moorad always had wanted Byrnes to
return to the job, even though he respected Hoyer, who he hired in 2010.
There will be no compensation for Hoyer, a source said.
教士會讓Hoyer安心上路, 然後把職位交給營運副總 Josh Byrnes。
Moorad 當初是小蛇的老闆之一時, Byrnes 就是GM。
消息還說 Moorad 很尊重 Hoyer, 不過心裡還是想要 Byrnes 來接手。
小熊不需要給教士任何補償。
