Theo may not be going anywhere if the Cubs and Red Sox cannot work out a deal and right now that is a likely senario. Larry Lucchino is said to be making the negotiations very difficult according to a Cubs executive who spoke with David Kaplan of CSN Chicago.
“Larry Lucchino is one of the most unreasonable people I have ever dealt with and because of his frayed relationship with Theo Epstein he is looking to make a point at the expense of Theo’s happiness and his desire to go to Chicago. I didn’t believe that ownership group for one second when they said that they wouldn’t stand in Theo’s way if he wanted out of Boston. They are furious that he wants out and they are trying to make a point. Theo helped bring them two World Series titles and they have no loyalty to him and his happiness. They messed with Terry Francona and that was just an incredibly pathetic move and now they are trying to make life very tough for Theo.”
