i'll accept your apology when you buy me a beer during my annual summer trip to chicago. Considering I live in Tokyo that may be a bit of a problem... Default to cynicism is unfortunately the only reasonable approach in the internet age - sorry, but it's true. I sincerely hope you're both legit in intent and information, but the odds are pretty long. And the truth is, we'll never know unless Lester signs elsewhere. honestly you won't even know after he does sign with the cubs... doesn't matter really... we all win.
