all the guys acting like they're baseball geniuses for pointing out that the back ends of long FA deals for pitchers are rough is really cracking me up. Like no horsefeathers, that's the bargain you make. It would be sick if we could all be the Astros or whatever and have a WS caliber roster based on home grown dudes and short-commitment trades, but the rest of us who are trying to win the world series need good players now. Lester is gonna be injured or bad at the end of his deal and I won't regret the signing in a second. Zobrist was awful last year and I couldn't stand watching him come to the plate but he's a horsefeathering Cubs legend for 2016. The Cubs are gonna have to play around some dead weight in a few years, sure, but they're great now. Meanwhile the Brewers won't have any 36-year old SPs dragging down their payroll, but they're mediocre now and they'll be mediocre then. Good luck with that.
