Are you confused because he already signed with Seattle, or because i live in Seattle?

If his power drops because he lost some HR fuel im gonna be pissed

The way I look at it, the only think Lackey had over Chatwood is # of children eaten per inning. I like this signing a lot

Guys, Ohtani isnt coming here to Seattle. Theo met with him, in perfect Iwatean dialect said “Kon'nichiwa, genkidesuka” to Shohei. Shohei replied “I want to play for the Cubs!”...and the meeting was over save a few pleasantries and some coffee. I’m going to keep telling myself that anyway

NOBODY WILL TOP THE COOBS. You’ll all thank me in 30 years

This idea needs more exploration. If we get Ohtani, i expect a ms paint of the gauntlet course theo traversed to this epic victory complete with each of the other pres/gm’s demise Get it cued treebeard

I like this move. Coob or Ohtani too would be most excellent. Both would be mostest excellent and I might explode.

And i hated seinfeld

If we get Ohtani and the Cards flop on Stanton

“THATS PETCO FOR YA BUDDY” - Jed

Theo should code into the game a 757 crashing in the background and horribly burned bodies flying into the park to scare Ohtani away from the clearly probable event

i figured it might be, but i'm a robot so Oh horsefeathers, self-aware AI. LOOK WHAT YOU CREATED NSBB

I’d disagree. The Bears have some young talent. They need more and better coaching

Ansolutely

lmfao, what? no. signing ohtani literally allows us to do the opposite of that Yea, that part made nooooo sense

Why coddle a dead limb

Have they said when the Cubs are going? If they are the last to meet with him isn't that a good sign? Generally speaking first and last are best if you are in the middle you have to have a really strong argument

after meeting him, he was quoted saying "horsefeathers the far east, I like Theo" - Ohtani

that was brutal. I havent heard if its a broken back, but man it looked like it

We should just bring the entire city of Chicago and beg for his awesomeness

Don't worry we got this now that we have confirmation we get to give our formal pitch. We have Theo/Jed who are going to give the most well prepared, reasoned and persuasive presentation, the best MLB manager to handle a multi-positional player along with just being able to handle him as a person, a pitching coach who pretty much has only had young up and coming pitchers to develop his entire career (and has quite a good track record with it), a bunch of other highly thought of young guys who can help him deal with the pressure/expectations he's going to have, a TOR/HOF pitcher in Lester to take him under his wing and also 2 other very smart and accomplished pitchers in Q and Hendricks to help him out, some of the best facilities of any MLB team (if not the best), a very good track record recently of pitchers avoiding injuries (and even when they hit they generally are minor) which can't be all luck and has to have something to do with our strength and conditioning and other programs we have for pitchers, an engaged and active (in a good way) ownership group who isn't afraid to spend money and will do whatever they can to help him out, a first class business ops that will help with the best endorsement deals, a engaged and eager fanbase, the ability to "be the man" in the rotation, if not right away, in the very near future as Lester ages/contract comes up and Q's/Hendricks contract come up right as he will be hitting his prime, the best core of young players to join for long-term competitiveness, and did I forget Theo horsefeathering Epstein. “Thats all fine and good but what about flight times to Tok-“ (sees the angelic faces of TheoCo) “horsefeathers flight times” - Ohtani If thats what we’re going with i like it

You people need to stop post trival garbage speculation and start posting news reports of us signing him already. I rely on this thread [expletive]

Yea. The Bears will always present themselves as “the Grandfather” franchise because of GSH. I think its less business tact and more tradition

well, are we smaller then NY or LAD?

I'm going to kill you save it for a republican senator plz thank you
