“The thing I liked about ’em is it wasn’t forced and wasn’t a sales pitch,” Lester said after his meeting with the Cubs. “It was like, ‘This is what we can do.’ I don’t want BS. I don’t want show. I don’t want glitz and glamour. I don’t want to walk out to the field with your name and number on the JumboTron. I’m not 18 anymore. I want you to tell me what you can do for me and my family.”

Sounds like Lester gets his caddy too.

 

@Buster_ESPN 5 minutes ago David Ross should get used to the idea of day games.

I would think one of the best results with the most advantageous returns is Cespedes. One year left so he wont cost a metric ton. He wouldnt come cheap but hed probably cost less than others. It he'd be a huge upgrade this year and give the cubs first extension opportunities?

 

That's my thinking. Would love to get Upton, but that might wishhful thinking.

Pay him in hugs or something. They're gonna be paying way too much for shitty catchers.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Please please please don't ruin this by shoehorning a stupid crappy catcher into the roster. We can have all the nice things.

@JeffPassan: Now that Jon Lester has signed with the Cubs, the likelihood that David Ross and Jonny Gomes end up in Chicago increases significantly.

I can find a way to live with Ross, but Gomes is gonna piss me off right quick.

I would love it so much if he Marlins traded Stanton after extending him even if he didn't go to he cubs. The idea of such a false positive being proven false so quickly makes me laugh.

[PackLandVA]

Johnny Gomes is the big bat????

[Cubswin11]

Ross I can live with/somewhat understand, but [expletive] Jonny Gomes

[davell]

@Buster_ESPN: CHC intention is to continue to build the team with more around Lester. If they didn't sign him, would take a more conservative route.

Does the extension prevent them from trading him for a while like FA contracts?

[davell]

How about Longoria?

 

Not a big bat, but Zobrist makes sense for us.

[TruffleShuffle]

i don't want jonny gomes unless it is to be crowd control in the bleachers (taking over for roast)
