The compensation talks for losing Theo Epstein drag on—despite the intervention of Bud Selig. On Friday night, at a White Sox FanFest, Selig expressed frustration that the two teams couldn't resolve the issue on their own and dropped it into his lap. Reports suggest that Boston's initial request was for Matt Garza, with another alternative being Cubs first-round pick, third-base prospect Josh Vitters (pictured). The 22-year old Vitters hit .283 at AA Tennessee last year, with 14 HRs and 81 RBIs in 129 games.
