A meeting with the Red Sox to tell them to piss off then hit the town with Jed and Theo to sing Go Cubs Go and since it's in San Diego they will bring Peavy along

Maddon & Theo picked up some beer and they are going to party in the RV!

[SABR Gamer]

Not that this matters, but...who is Lester's agent? What other prominent payers does he rep?

 

Lester is represented by ACES. Sam and Seth Levinson lead the agency. They have a lot of big clients.

Check out @VanVechten83 timeline for latest rumor. Was definitely at winter meetings, claiming Cubs. Can't link anything.

Imaging the Cubs front office partying with Maddon at some RV park full of retirees wintering in SD is a funny thought.

Why is Jim Duquette reporting anything? Doesn't he have a team of his own to worry about?

Lester did not explain decision to #sfgiants execs, just thanked them for their interest

I Talked to a @RedSox insider who told me Cherington seemed "pretty bummed" after his camera appearance. Source said Lester to @Cubs is done

Since Lester said he wouldn't sign until this thread got to 100 pages, we're getting close!

If Lester picks the #Cubs, the Big Blue Train is back on the tracks and ready to woo woo in the N.L. Central.

Wouldn't it be great if a GM just stopped caring and ended up reporting what all the teams were doing on twitter with his inside info. Freelance work or something.

 

Probably what Steve Phillips would have done in the twitter age.
