San Diego Padres general manager Jed Hoyer and assistant GM Jason McLeod have been in Chicago the past three days and are expected to be added to the staff of new Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein.

The Cubs and Red Sox are expected to have an agreement on compensation that would make Theo Epstein the Cubs' president of baseball operations, according to a major league baseball source.

The Chicago Cubs may be able to announce the hiring of their new baseball executive during off days of the World Series despite Major League Baseball's traditional ban, according to a source familiar with the situation.
