Theo Epstein Compensation Links: Sunday

Yesterday it was reported that talks have grown "increasingly contentious" between the Red Sox and the Cubs as they try to figure out what Boston will receive for relinquishing the rights to Theo Epstein.  The Red Sox are looking to get prospects in return for their former GM while the Cubs want to complete the deal with just cash.  Here's the latest on the talks..

• A deal might not get done by Tuesday but the Red Sox think that the compensation talks with the Cubs will end before the World Series begins on Wednesday evening, writes Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald.
• All signs point toward a resolution by Tuesday, the day after a potential NLCS Game 7 and the day before Game 1 of the World Series, writes Silverman.  The asking price for Epstein could increase as it is believed that he is looking to bring some BoSox staffers with him to Chicago.  As of yesterday, there were no plans in place for any other Red Sox personnel to join the Cubs.
