Bud Selig said Friday night that he will in fact decide the compensation the Red Sox will receive for allowing executive Theo Epstein to leave for a similar position with the Cubs.
Epstein left Boston for Chicago this offseason despite having one year left on his contract.
Selig, who hopes to decide on a resolution quickly, said he gave the clubs latitude in hopes that they could come to terms on their own.
