Maybe the Ricketts are just trying to drive up the odds in Vegas and their rich buddies are going to place bets on the Cubs signing Harper at very long odds? Right? RIGHT?

 

I wish.

 

These bets typically have like $500-1000 limits.

I feel like the cat is hanging on to the fantasy that all the other teams offer insulting deals and Bryce approaches us about a 1 year deal so he can play for fun with Kris and on a contender before entering free agency again and settling for whatever turd team gives him the best/longest deal.

I DONT KNOW BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH SINCE THERE ARE TAXES AND THATS WHY THE CUBS CANT SIGN BRYCE AND HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE SPENDING THE PLAYERS ARE LUCKY WE CHOOSE TO PAY THEM AT ALL

Well the year I went, I bought the stupid passes and then discovered that anyone could walk in off the street and do everything because there was no ticket checking/taking checkpoint anywhere in between the hotel doors and the convention hall

The year I went (2016), I bought the passes off of an autograph hound for $20 bucks via craigslist. They just kept the autograph scratch-off. We met at the door. I went to the sessions (and asked if the Joe was serious about Javy Baez in centerfield), they got a ball signed and sold it on ebay.

Bryant just said Harper isn't signing with the Cubs. Can we give up this absurd fantasy already?

He also added him and Bryce don’t talk about free agency. So how would he know?

So you're saying there's a chance?

So I see the "Bryce Signing Announcement" about this time tomorrow.

 

BUT....

 

If for some odd reason he signs elsewhere, it's going to absolutely glorious when the Cubs players in 2019 perform and over perform (as opposed to much of the under performing last season), and they dominate the National League by becoming the dong masters, defensive geniuses and all-around likable guys en route to their second WS victory in a five year span. Yep, gonna be delicious!!

they’ll win 87 and miss the playoffs

 

They’ll beat the Brewers in the WC game then get swept by the eventual world champion Cardinals

This may be the most optimistic thing you’ve ever posted here.

Him saying they don't talk about it is nonsense. He's being a good friend and shutting up. Have to love the subtle jab at MLB owners for it being weird only 3-4 teams being inerested in generational talents.

Whatever the season brings, it can’t be as awful as this interminable offseason. Every second of this has sucked.
