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

[Guest]

Gordon Wittenmeyer reports he's leaning Giants.

 

But he's been so far from the truth this offseason that I dismiss him quickly.

[expletive] him, NoCode is where it's at

Gordon, Gordon, Gordon.

“@sheeks9: @enosarris thats an awesome quote if true lol” real quote. I'm standing here with Bobby.

 

He should probably talk to his GM. Or maybe it's true this time.

Pffft let's talk about some REAL news!

 

"Respect: To make sure they don’t lose Russell Wilson in Rule 5 draft, #Rangers intend to protect him on their AAA roster." - @Ken_Rosenthal

I don't always make sure my players don't get poached from other MLB teams, but when I do, I make sure it's someone who's already gainfully employed in another profession making way more than he'd probably make in my profession and likely won't ever play a single inning professionally for my franchise...but hey...MEDIA EXPOSURE!

 

Good job, Texas.

Damn, he's probably in the middle of making his "Sorry, Im going somewhere else" calls right now.

BUT ALL THOSE WORLD SERIES

 

GOOD POINT, THEY PROBABLY NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND, AMIRITE.

[Jason Ross]

Could this be Lester beginning to inform teams?

[gscool89]

The Red Sox have been out, the Red Sox have been in, the Giants have been in, the Giants have been out. The only constant has been the Cubs are in. I feel like we should have been teased more for this to not happen. Please make this happen.

:lol: I actually think Chicago is a very desirable destination for a guy like Lester but I am biased and moving to Austin in 2 weeks. Also, the Christopher Russo commercial where he just yells scared the living [expletive] out of me. How he makes money doing this is beyond me.

THEY'RE SO GOOD AT GETTING LUCKY AT THE DICE ROLL YAY

Hopefully someone reports Dodgers just to give everyone a good scare before finalizing it's the Cubs.

Bobby Evans said Giants made multiple offers. Lester called half hour ago with news. Evans: "We did not receive a rose."

I don't see why you eliminate one without eliminating another tonight. No reason to just narrow from 3 to 2.

He's doing one a night. Braves on Saturday, Mystery Team on Sunday, Dodgers on Monday, Giants on Tuesday.....Yankees on Wednesday, A's on Thursday, Expos on Friday then he will choose between the Red Sox and Cubs

[d_money]

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