Funniest part of that is Gammons speculation that the Sox will get Brett Jackson. The Cubs top prospect who put up a .939 OPS in AAA at age 22. Keep dreaming. That's not going to happen.Red Sox machine ready to smear Theo?

No way anyone believes the Sox would take the deal off the table. Sox are really not in the position of power here. They don't want Epstein back. So they pay him to sit around while the assistant GM does the work?Dream on? Probably. But I'm not going to discount it. It depends on how bad the Cubs want Theo and whether or not the Sox are willing to take the deal off the table if they don't get what they want.
So in the end, Jackson is a very long stretch. But I have seen stranger things in life. Like who the hell would trade Varitek and Lowe for Heathcliff Slocumb. I mean...seriously?

They will come to a deal and it won't be a high level prospect.
I don't think they're not in a position of power. The Cubs want Theo bad. The fact is, the Sox can still take the deal off the table and cuckold him for a year if they think they're getting respectively screwed by the Cubs.
And that would be a brilliant strategy. If the Sox want to play hardball, the Cubs will just wait them out and put the brakes on the Sox entire offseason timeline. And then the Sox will be in worse shape and they'll cave. bpo is right. They'll get a decent prospect. They're not going to get the Cubs #1 guy.I don't think they're not in a position of power.
