The Jon Lester Signs w/ Cubs - 6 yrs/$155 Million

[RynoRules]

Last second (stupid) tactic for encouraging more offers. Use doops in the press to send the message.

When Muskat says something, you know the opposite is about to happen:

sorting offers? how long could that possibly take? a couple of hours?

I trust the friend of the father-in-law. I don't think he's yanking our chain, but he might be getting his chain yanked a little.

 

I've said all along that they will get Lester, I believe it, and will until I get news otherwise. He's too important for the Cubs to get seconds on and Theo knows that. He gives them legitimacy for the fans and for the players.

I love this crap. "Don't get too excited I was just told there's no deadline." Well no [expletive], that says nothing about whether it's close or not.

i am less than convinced by the post history, but hopefully he is right. will be nice when this is done and decided.

 

I've been on the site longer than most here, and I don't exactly have a ton of posts. Doesn't mean he isn't full of it, but certainly doesn't mean he is.

Amazingly, not everyone who visits feels the need to wax poetic.

You'd think the most important thing is years and total salary but maybe they're going through all the other details. Could me there are offers with vesting options or some otherwise complex structure and stuff or even them just going through seemingly small stuff like AS bonus if the offers are close. Still shouldn't take too long from the lawyers standpoint, but maybe longer to relay all that info to Lester?

 

Or just agent posturing to try and drive up offers.

 

Or Muskat trying to buy time on her end and we're not to the point off all final offers being in.

Let me be more clear. Some of us like to read, and keep our pompous, annoying, rude, and generally incorrect and argumentative comments to ourselves instead of being perceived as asses. That's just me though.

I'm trying to follow here, but you are just not making any sense at all. Is this one of those Cleverbot things?

I like it. Not as much as signing Lester today, but pretty good stuff.

It's pretty straightforward. Not sure what you're not getting.

Is it racist if I ask if you are friends with David?

[SouthSideRyan]

I have to believe there's some room for a middle ground between "every word any blogger says is canonical law" and "every word any blogger says deserves preemptive derision" in the decision making process of reasonable people.

 

Unless you're talking about Arguello

I'm grabbing lunch at this bar and they for some reason have the MLB network playing on the TV. At the top of their broadcast they have tweets scroll across the screen. I didn't know this and when one person said "@JLester31 will sign with the Cardinals for 6 years $140 mil" I nearly had a heart attack before realizing it was just some idiot Cardinals fan

I'm just a lurker here, but you're the hippest cat around; so that means something. (not being a smartass here either)
