Cubs after Anibal Sanchez? (Signs with Tiger 5/$80mil)

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Rosenthal:

Sources: #Cubs in serious discussions with Anibal Sanchez. Deal could be 5 years/$75 million. #Tigers still a threat.

[Tryptamine]

Apparently the Cubs are in on Anibal Sanchez.

Holy [expletive]. I'd say this deserves its own thread, right? Wow.

[kujay]

Done deal was this discussed as a possibility before?

I really thought something like this was coming, either Sanchez or Jackson. Nice.

Jim Bowden says it's done too:

 

Anibal Sanchez has signed with the Chicago Cubs

 

Let's start the countdown until Kaplan emphatically tweets that this is "NOT DONE". Over/under 2 hours?

The dual fronts crowd just went silent. Stealth ass [expletive], Theo.

[Clem Fandango]

HOLY [expletive]

This is going to be a really solid rotation. Though I would have to think this signing means Garza or Wood are going to gone very soon.

[rawaction]

Not a big Anibal fan but 5/75 is a good deal

:clapping: :yahoo: \:D/

.500ish team now. If we actually got positive variance for once we could conceivably make the playoffs.

Kyle??????

Kyle??????

His fear boner killed him.

#cubs are indeed talking to anibal sanchez, and have been all winter, but they deny they have a deal done

 

Every freaking time... :banghead:

[kujay]

@JonHeymanCBS: anibal's agent Gene Mato said he's still talking to other teams. #tigers have been involved all winter, like cubs

 

Haha

[Thed Hoyerstein]

Kyle??????

Full no-trade clause, right? #HendrySignings

[SABR Gamer]

Kyle hates this move because it contradicts his crusade.

I'd prefer Edwin but I'm not sure how others feel.

 

Hope the news is true.

[Tedward]

Morosi on MLB network just said Cubs out in front but not done deal. Still talking with Tigers & Rangers might enter the picture...drat

[PrimeTime]

And...Matt Garza welcomes him to the Cubs on twitter just like he did on the Haren trade.

Its like we sneak up behind someone and at the last second, we step on a twig.
