According to Hardballtalk, Theo Epstein is closer to leaving Boston and will join the Cubs as their GM. This is huge news, but more importantly- exciting news. You can’t blame Theo for getting the attention he deserves from an organization like the Cubs in desperate need of a good baseball man at the top- but I don’t want to be too excited over the news until anything is official.
Tom Ricketts has no choice but to hire a big name GM in this spot- so I expect the Cubs to go all out in the pursuit for the games number 1 GM. We will continue to update you as this story grows.

Terry Francona said Friday night at Fenway Park that he didn't want to wait through the weekend before making the decision to move on. By making up his mind early, he also afforded the organization just a few extra days to find its new manager. Don't expect a decision on that to come in such an expedient manner.
