Could all just be posturing to try and squeeze more out of the Cubs.

 

Absolutely could be, especially since MacPhail knows what an astute negotiator Hendry is.

Baltimore Sun reporting deal is done? (from comments section at BCB)

 

I'd say they're full of crap. There's nothing to that effect on their site.

Just spoke with my guy, please consider take this with a grain of salt. The other team we were talking with about Roberts is not including names that we were looking for, please don't ask who the other team was because I didn't ask, nor do I care. Now with that said Brian Roberts will probably be a Cub by the end of the day according to my guy. AM has been on the phone with the Cubs and apparently he is going to accept their offer. I asked him if the deal is "done", and he said " it will be". Please keep in mind as good as this sounds as being a "done deal", I have seen things this close change at the last minute. With that said, IT DOES APPEAR BRIAN ROBERTS TO THE CUBS IS IMMINENT.

Why are you gettng angry?

I'm an impatient man, and this thing dragging on is annoying me.

 

 

It's just baseball man, don't let it bug you that much.

 

Your a fan of the wrong team if this stuff gets to you that much.

For some reason I'm picturing a guy laughing as he's making this stuff up.

They knew that they were losing us, so they decided that they had to spice things up a bit. Well played O's insiders.

I also picture 25 "guests" refreshing this page after each teaser.

 

Putting stock in message board rumors is never a good idea.

Don't be so cynical. I know who the source is. He has a very credible track record.
