Globe Reports Epstein Signed

The Boston Globe has a different take from the Herald, reporting that Theo Epstein will sign for three years. Since the Globe has a vested interest in the Red Sox, you'd think they had the inside line on the story.

It is believed that Epstein, who made $350,000 last season, ranking him near the bottom of baseball's GM pay scale, will have the chance to make close to what he was seeking ($1.5 million per year). That would position him among baseball's best-compensated general managers.

I hope this news is true, if for no other reason than it makes this post look really good:

On Oct. 31st they'll split the difference and Theo will get around 1.4 million. There's no reason to sign before the deadline for either side. They'll each see who blinks first.

I just wonder who did the blinking.
