Is Theo Epstein being paid for his endorsement of the MLB cellphone?

I see tonight a big photo on MLB.com of Theo Epstein talking on a cell phone, & the ad continues to try to convince you to buy the thing. The caption is, "Is Theo Epstein closing in on a deal, or just catching a live broadcast of the Red Sox?" I understand MLB likes the Red Sox & gives them very favorable publicity on their website, but do I have to see their GM hustling MLB hard goods?
