The Boston Globe is reporting that the Chicago Cubs contacted the Red Sox in an effort to interview Theo Epstein for a job - GM or higher, presumably - with the team. Peter Abraham credited Dan Shaughnessy with the scoop that allegedly came from a "team source." The team was meeting today to decide how to respond. Epstein needs the Sox ownership to approve as he is currently under contract. Boston could demand compensation from the Cubs if they hire Epstein, 37. He's been Sox GM since 2002. [Globe]
