Fox Sports: Ramirez SIGNS WITH CUBS!

[BigbadB]

Cool. Back to just being horrible rather than despicable.

 

Now, get to work and get JD Drew, Durham and some pitching Hendry.

[KingCubsFan]

Rosenthal calls it a 'Hollow Victory' but he's not the one who thought his $200 Aram Jersey was worthless!!!

I love how Rosenthal makes this out to be a bad thing. We just re-signed the best free agent for an apparently below-market deal, yet somehow we lost because we can't get Soriano for 100 million anymore. He also forgets we still have 40 million left to spend.

[Andy]

Well, Hendry's saved his own ass. For now.

 

If it's really a 5/70 deal, he actually deserves some major kudos. That's fantastically below market value.

[RammyFanny]

Now I don;t have to change my name!!!!

 

Hey, maybe we're not THAT stupid after all!!

 

This just made my month :)

[b_wiggy_66]

for 5/70 this is good news, we were pissed when Hendry didn't go to $100 mil. and now he got him for $70 mil.

Thanks for that scoop that Ramirez was testing Free Agency, Rosenthal. You nearly gave USS an aneurysm.

Welcome back Aramis!

 

I have no idea what you're talking about.

So, did this get done before the midnight deadline and just not get reported, or does he count against the number of FA we can sign?

There will be a Christmas after all.

 

Should we now all get drunk to celebrate?

 

Treeman, the hang over was worth it!

 

:sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

 

The Cubs still have plenty of money to get another bat and upgrade elswhere!

 

I am so happy :D :D :P :cheers: :afro: :drunken: :cheers:

Yes, what he said.

 

Kudos for Jim for getting it done in the 11th hour.

What a waste of 30 some pages of bantering. lol

 

But we can hit 100 pages on this thread!

 

Good deal for both Aramis and the Cubs!

[Andy]

I would guess the former. I can't possibly believe Aramis would've taken it to free agency, and then signed such a discounted deal. That would've topped any hometown discount I would have guessed at.

hooooorrrrayyyyyy

 

good news everyone, it's actually really hard to find heroin

[BigbadB]

Let us all hope that Tree did not already shoot heroin into his forehead.

 

Edit: I was about 30 seconds too late on this post.

Well, I could have helped you with a hook-up. I know quite a few people in re-hab.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

So mlbtraderumors.com (5/90) and Phil Rogers (5/73 - might still be close) were both wrong?

 

Shocking!

I still don't believe Aramis is worth the ridiculous Beltran contract however 5 for 70 yes! I'm excited now imagine what winning the Matsusake derby is going to feel like!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[RichHillIsABeast]

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Alas, this does mean the Cubs can sign one fewer Type A free agent.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. :D ;) :P

 

Thank Len you were right.

[BigbadB]

They should be able to provide some sort of evidence that they agreed to this deal prior to the deadline to save the extra free agent signing.

 

If not, Hendry is an idiot. :D
