Theo Epstein to the Cubs?

Tito is already gone.

Now Theo?  Can we at least get the Cubs to take Lackey as compensation for taking our Brookline native and life-long Sox fan?

Think about it.  There has been more activity between front offices and compensation lately.  As it should be if the Manager or GM is still an employee or has a valid contract with his current club.  Instead of getting a couple of minor leaguers back from the Cubs as compensation, let's force John Lackey down their throat, of course, as long as Chicagoans are not already Lackey-intolerant, as we have become here in Boston.

Shouldn't it really be this way?  Epstein signed Lackey.  It is only fair, right?  Take your garbage with you Theo.  Lackey could use a change of scenery and may be better served pitching in the National League.

If I am Theo Epstein, I would jump at this opportunity.  Wouldn't you like to go down in history as the man that brought championships to the Red Sox - after 86 years, and the Cubs, after 186 years?
