Cubs President Theo Epstein may be snatching back another player from his Red Sox past. Reportedly, Epstein is looking to deal RHP Matt Garza and is looking for his former draft pick Anthony Rizzo as part of the return package. Rizzo was sent to the Padres as part of the deal that brought Adrian Gonzalez to Boston. The highly-touted 22-year old first baseman becomes expendable in San Diego after the acquisition of Yonder Alonso. (Photo: Bob Breidenbach/Providence Journal)

Theo To Challenge Blue Jays For Fielder
According to Jery Crasnick of ESPN.com, the Cubs are "stepping up" their pursuit of free-agent first baseman Prince Fielder. The Blue Jays—already rumored to be the winner of the Yu Darvish sweepstakes—were seen as a big player on Fielder as well (along with the Rangers). How's this for a compensation deal?: Theo spends the $254 million to keep Fielder out of the AL East, and the Red Sox will call it even. Sounds fair to me.

Theo May Grab Both Varitek And Wakefield
The Chicago Tribune's Phil Rogers is reporting that Theo Epstein may grab both Jason Varitek and Tim Wakefield from the Red Sox scrap heap. Can't you see it now? The Red Sox swoop into Wrigley next June and open against a battery of Wakefield and Tek. Definitely appointment viewing. (PHOTO at SittingStill.com)
