Bud Selig To Determine Cubs, Red Sox Compensation For Theo Epstein
Rejoice, everyone, for the end is in sight! This isn't some pro-Mayan, end of days post, but instead word from on high that the Major League Baseball's commissioner's office will determine the compensation for the Red Sox following Theo Epstein's departure.
