Red Sox, Cubs settle Theo issue

After roughly four months of posturing back and forth about the appropriate compensation both sides have settled on Chris Carpenter. No! Not that Chris Carpenter, the one who appeared in ten games last season for the Cubs, pitched in 9.2 innings, and a WHIP of 1.966. Carpenter was a third round pick in 2008 by the Cubs, and isn’t considered a top rated prospect by most (if not all) scouts.

The Red Sox acquired right-hander Chris Carpenter and a player to be named later from the Cubs on Tuesday in exchange for a player to be named later, a trade that settles the compensation to Boston for Theo Epstein leaving to join Chicago.
