Theo will sign


His friend Brian Cashman held out in honor of him and Brian himself getting more $

Cashman just agreed. Theo will now soon follow. Do you guys not understand politics?

Guys who posted, thank you very much.

Fish!

Biggest rivalry in all of sports, and the two GM's are friends?!.....?!

Sherman, even you have to be saying WTF at that and I know you are an open minded guy. But gimme a break.

If Theo is gay, then he is a topper since he is feinding for all this control.

If Cash is gay, he takes it. Since George and his maroons make most of the descions without consulting Brian.

OK, please STOP. I dont think Theo and Cash are gay. But the fact they are buddys in the biggest stage in all of rivalrys in sports is tough to explain, it certainly doesnt imply anything.

No decision on Epstein: Schilling lobbies for GM
By Michael Silverman

With an announcement about Theo Epstein’s future as Red Sox general manager not due before Monday, Sox starter Curt Schilling used the radio yesterday to express his strong support of Epstein and the broader autonomy he is expected to gain should he re-sign, as most expect he will do.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD height=8><SPACER type="block" height="8" width="8"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> “My impression of everything that happened was that if he was going to come back he would have a lot more latitude to do the things he wants to do as the general manager and I wasn’t sure that that was necessarily going to happen, but I’m guessing it is now, and that’s a good thing,” Schilling said during an interview on WEEI.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD height=8><SPACER type="block" height="8" width="8"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> Schilling said Epstein is “a draw for me to be here now - I enjoy him and trust him. That matters. And you don’t find a lot of people in that role that are as personable, and as understanding, and get it as he does.”
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD height=8><SPACER type="block" height="8" width="8"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> Epstein deserves to be paid a salary commensurate with the top general managers in the game, reasoned Schilling.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD height=8><SPACER type="block" height="8" width="8"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> “He’s put a club together that’s gone out there and gone to the postseason three times, won a World Series, and he’s certainly deserving of whatever he can get financially,” said Schilling.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD height=8><SPACER type="block" height="8" width="8"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> In addition to weighing a three-year offer worth between $3 million and $4 million, Epstein is attempting to preserve and protect the labors of the baseball operations staff from excessive interference from the other sectors of the franchise before his contract expires Monday at midnight.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD height=8><SPACER type="block" height="8" width="8"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> Negotiations have at times grown strained and awkward between Epstein and president/CEO Larry Lucchino, a situation that has not been helped by the club not allowing Epstein to use an agent. However, no new snags were believed to have developed yesterday.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD height=8><SPACER type="block" height="8" width="8"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> Club officials could not guarantee a deal would not be announced today or tomorrow, but conventional wisdom suggests that rather than compete with the Patriots game tomorrow, the team will wait until Monday to announce the expected deal.
