This is quite good for the cubs if they intended to go after Lester after the season. A trade means they can place a QO on him after the season.

I think Hawk/Stone do have points though. If you don't win, what have you got?

I do wish Stoney would have said Beane is the worst excluding Harrelson. :)

I can't wait to hear what the excuse becomes if the A's win it all.

Put the crack pipe down thinking Lester will sign with the Cubs.

Where did I say he will sign with the cubs? I said it was good for them if they intend to go after him because they aren't dealing with a QO and pick compensation. It's a plus for 29 teams.

Okay, Mr. I own 45 businesses. Money talks above all other things. Figured someone who owns a business like yourself would figure that one out.
Contrary to what the Ricketts want you to think, sports aren't a pure dollars and cents business.

Cespedes, for all intents, is a decent major leaguer who returned a very good pitcher. Both teams won this trade.


It makes you wonder what Beane actually thinks of the players he gave up for Shark. Becuase right now you have the slurpers drooling about how Shark returned a better package then Price.

it has nothing to do with that. players take less money all the time. do you think he wants to come everyday to the ballpark to lose knowing the team sucks over a few million dollars? think CO. think.

Maybe he doesn't think that the Cubs will be losers. Think Dews. Think.

Besides, players take more money to go to losers all the time. Edwin Jackson could have gone to a winner, but he took the most money. Players take the most money all the time. Mariners got Cano by offering him more money. Angels got Pujols by offering him more money.

If they offer him the most money, he will.

Because if there's one thing the Cubs have been over the past 105 years, its winners.

And nice backtrack, so basically this plan is full of shit and the Cubs will remain losers based on your logic.

Its humorous to see people fall all over themselves to defend the Cubs.
