2/17 Unfinished business
The Cubs are still waiting for word from MLB commissioner Bud Selig regarding what compensation the Red Sox will receive in exchange for Theo Epstein. Epstein, named Cubs president of baseball operations in late October, was to address the media on Saturday at Fitch Park in Mesa, Ariz. Maybe we’ll get an answer then.
Also, the Cubs are waiting for word from infielder Blake DeWitt, who was designated for assignment Feb. 6. If he clears waivers, DeWitt then has to decide if he will return to the Cubs as a non-roster invitee or test free agency.

Has DeWitt been outrighted before? If not, he can’t reject an assignment to AAA Iowa, I thought…
I’m sure all of Cubdom is waiting on the edge of their seat to find out if the great DeWitt will be in the Cubs organization at any level or calling up Hendry for a minor league gig with the Yankees.
