Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien Just interviewed Peter Gammons. He says it's "a real possibility" Prince Fielder signs with Cubs. Now, I do not know if what Gammons is saying should be taken seriously at all. I think we all know that he and Theo are friends, so perhaps Gammo has inside info? The tweet was from this morning.

Pretty sure you are. On the max end, ok. I would like to have him for 5-6. Again, the market just increased for Prince with the Pujols signing.
-
Thus it is a bad contract because he signed with the Marlins? Uh, ok.
-
Do you really believe that?
-
And who in their right mind gives Cespedes 50M? Lots of chatter on MLB network that teams are saying if he wants that much, they'll look in another direction.

Rangers.

I wish we were the Marrrrrrrrrrlinnnnnnnnns! In a way, so do I. I mean, two titles in 14 years sounds pretty good considering our history. But that is all I would want as far as being a Marlin.

Meant to put this in with rule V post. Sorry, guys. DALLAS -- The Cubs may have left the Winter Meetings without filling the openings at first and third base or adding another starting pitcher, but general manager Jed Hoyer said Thursday he felt they got a lot accomplished. "We feel really good about where we are after this week," Hoyer said. "It's been a really productive week. A lot of this week is pushing things forward. "You always see a lot of things get done a day or two or even early next week after these Meetings, and we think that will be the case for us as well," he said. "We feel we've gotten things to a good place and, hopefully, some of those things come to fruition soon. Leaving here without a 'deal,' that's OK." http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20111208&content_id=26129064&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb

Rule 5 Draft activity: The Cubs selected recently converted right-hander Lendy Castillo from the Phillies' organization in the Major League phase, and picked infielder Ricky Alvarez from the Angels in the Triple-A phase. They also lost two infielders as the Orioles took Ryan Flaherty and the Red Sox picked Marwin Gonzalez. In 38 Minor League games, Castillo is 7-4 with a 2.43 ERA since he was converted from shortstop after the 2009 season. He has 111 strikeouts and has walked 42 in that stretch. He's projected to be a starter, but will be in the bullpen this season.
-
I guess Prince is too oval shaped for many on here. And no! I am not advocating the Cubs give him a 7 year deal.
-
Well, to call the Marlins and Angels non contenders is way off base. And now add the players they just signed to the mix and it is even more off base.
-
Especially after Ricketts said we have the money.
-
Marlins fans watch/will watch pressers for Bell, Reyes and Buehrle. Angels fans watch/will watch pressers for Pujols and Wilson. We get David DeJesus (nice player and all). This is SO FAR of course but damn. If it were the Cubs who signed the first two teams players I mentioned, this place would have to shut down due to the amount of people going happy crazy. And for those of you who say it is has only been a month, yes, I get that.
-
So we can offer Pujols mega dollars (reasonable to say our qualifying offer had to be 150-175 plus, right?) but we do not have the cash to sign Fielder? And this after Ricketts just two weeks ago said Theo and Jed can do what they want as long as they feel it is the right move? This smells like BS.

No they aren't. They're trying to sell tickets and make a short term splash. Why do you think they don't give out NTCs? Have you not been paying attention for the past 14 years? And the contracts are bad. Old/injury prone guys they paid more than anyone else would have. Marlins and short term splash? Pun intended?

But his friend said he wants to play for the Cubs. Who was a friend of a friend of a distant relative. Just amazing that the [expletive] Marlins are going this hard after everyone and we can't do [expletive]! You're acting like an hysterical woman. You have no idea what Theo and Jed are doing and seem to forget the Marlins are out to drum up positive PR, so are likely leaking things left and right and putting their name into everything. Calm the [expletive] down. This actually made me laugh. It really did. I'm just pissed! :D

Just amazing that the [expletive] Marlins are going this hard after everyone and we can't do [expletive]! what would have liked cubs management to do? give pujols a ridiculous 250 million dollar contract? call cj wilson and convince him that guns and his hometown aren't actually attractive to him and that he would prefer chicago? all 3 of the contracts the marlins have given out have been bad. You just said Pujols was the best player in the game and that his contract was not a surprise. And I would not want the Cubs spending that. And how are they bad contracts? They're trying to win and win for a long time.

MLB network reporting Marlins have serious/strong interest in Fielder. :banghead:
-
Lots of people taking shots at the Cards. Harold Reynolds on MLB network: "In Alberts mind, why did they not come to me sooner? The man was underpaid and he is an honarable guy who played out his contract". Back to Prince. He is arguably the second best dominant force at his position. To suggest that he could not get 150-175M is a bit naive. Will he? Not sure but it would shock me at all.
-
Rogers just said that Pujols was never in the top 15 in salary, which is stunning. He was the biggest bargain in baseball and the Cards milked that cow until that cow said adios.
-
they can command all they want, nobody is giving him that. No one thought 250 or 260 would be given to Albert and it happened.
