After what seemed like weeks of wrangling, the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs announced a deal that will send Theo Epstein to Chicago. Though the move has long been rumored, there was reportedly a hang-up over compensation. But now, on the first off-day of the World Series, the two sides came to an agreement, resulting in Epstein being named the Cubs’ President of Baseball Operations.

The Red Sox and Cubs sent out a joint press release on Friday night announcing the move, which would go into effect immediately.
