Epstein heads for Windy City

It?s finally done.

Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox and Cubs have agreed to the framework of a deal that will allow Theo Epstein to become the Cubs? president of baseball operations. Epstein has resigned from his post as Red Sox general manager and will join the Cubs? front office, effective immediately.

The Cubs will hold a press conference on Tuesday, the next off-day of the World Series, to introduce Epstein while Ben Cherington is expected to be announced as his replacement on the same day in Boston.

Compensation hasn?t been settled yet, but a joint statement from the clubs specifies they have ?reached an agreement regarding a process by which appropriate compensation will be determined.? With Epstein now a member of the Cubs? front office, he will presumably be involved in the negotiations. That?s not awkward at all. According to Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com, if the two sides are unable to reach a satisfactory agreement in the next few days, commissioner Bud Selig could step in as an arbitrator.
