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

[minnesotacubsfan]

No offense to nocode416, but are you all really so desperate to believe that you're buying this at face value? If he were in this as a sting just for gits and shiggles, this is exactly the moment he's been building up to. It's a no lose - he's either laughing hysterically at his flawless troll, or he happens to be right and claims he was a real expert.

 

Maybe this guy really does know the family - stranger things have happened. But that's a lot to take on faith, even for a Cub fan.

 

i'll accept your apology when you buy me a beer during my annual summer trip to chicago.

 

Considering I live in Tokyo that may be a bit of a problem...

 

Default to cynicism is unfortunately the only reasonable approach in the internet age - sorry, but it's true. I sincerely hope you're both legit in intent and information, but the odds are pretty long. And the truth is, we'll never know unless Lester signs elsewhere.

 

honestly you won't even know after he does sign with the cubs... doesn't matter really... we all win.

Yes, that's exactly my point. If the goal is to set yourself up as a Marlin/Abty type of "source" that would be the exact outcome you're hoping for.

this is completely nonsensical because the only possible thing he can possibly be a source of is jon lester news

I am reminded of a line uttered by Kurt Cobain. I never had an argument with Eddie I just always hated their [expletive] band.

Assuming Nocode is right, I'm guessing the Lester-Boston meeting (or dinner or whatever) tonight is a courtesy/good faith gesture

Ben Cherington said #RedSox have given Lester all the information they feel he needs.

RT @TomLoxas: Cubs just need to close this out. They are close.

Not true at all. NoCodes source is from the wifes side of the family. If she is similar to Sandberg's wife he could end up the number 1 insider in baseball.

I wonder, if this is true, if he's even told teams yet? This could be a situation where the family has made a decision, but has yet to inform teams of it.
