Cubs & Red Sox Dispute
- Thread starter Bobber
- Start date
No dog in this fight...but why get over it? An agreement is an agreement. If the Cubs want TL then pay up. It does kind of suck though to think that the Red Sox might be limiting their employee in landing a promotion and a good gig.
That's why it's a **** move by the Red Sox. The only person they are hurting is Lovullo
So why even make that agreement? The Cubs willingly entered into the agreement so why would they think it should be tossed aside? Oh yeah...if you believe some in the media the Cubs don't think past agreements/contracts matter (signage/rooftop neighbors).
I am not a fan of either team but this isn't about anything other than the Red Sox getting something out of this...a minor league player or some cash...exactly the same things that Cubs would be expecting if the situation was opposite.
I thought I read in the Chicago Tribune that the agreement expires after this coming season? Not 100% sure about when...but it did have an expiration date.
If the deal has teeth and I'm the Cubs, it's time to move on and let the Red Sox **** in the wind. They already have some good prospects to take over the coaching job.
Agree...I am not sure why the Cubs would even get into this mess...is TL the guy they have really zeroed in on as the next manager? It appears the Cubs aren't sure about who or what they want in their next hire...or if they are sure they can't find someone who fill those needs? It has been a strange story to follow since Sveum's departure.
Yeah they certainly have taken their time. In their defense, hiring a manager is an important thing that you have to live with for years so why not do your due diligence and find out if anybody has some skeletons in the closet? The Cubs appear to be in for a long rebuild. I think they're doing it right, but the next manager might not survive a couple more losing seasons either.
Agree...so is this the hire they see managing at Wrigley long-term? Or is that their next hire? Once the young talent is ready to contend...do they hire someone with a different approach or skill-set to run the team at that time? There are good managers (with or without experience) to be hired...so I agree there isn't really a need to beat someone else to that one person people think is the best. Plenty of guys to chose from...
Holding back Luvullo's career over sour grapes with Theo is dumb.
That said, if they made an agreement than respecting it would be the right thing to do.

As a Sox fan, I hope the team wouldn't stand in the way of a guy fulfilling his likely dream of being a MLB manager.
Who cares if Theo left to go to the Cubs. He's stuck running a franchise that will never sniff a championship while the Sox just proved they could win one without him.
