Apparently Maples might have gotten the highest signing bonus of anyone outside the top two rounds. If so, that's pretty damn impressive on the Cubs' part.

His best comp? Juan Pierre.

Brewers got Jungmann and Bradley. Drat.

49ers fail at recreating The Catch. Link

$7.2m to Rendon. Wow. Jesus, 7.2M for Rendon +3M for Goodwin. They're already over 10M on 2 picks...... $6m bonus according to Callis, $7.2m guaranteed. They also handed over something like $2m to Alex Meyer.

$7.2m to Rendon. Wow.

Joe Ross signed. Sorry, Navin.

How much? Shocking. Rumor has it a high seven figure deal wasn't going to get it done. He might have ended up with a $10m bonus.

Josh Bell signed. Holy [expletive].

Purke gets a big league deal. Wow.

Kind of a bummer, but considering the Cubs are likely going to end up with Maples and Dunston, it's not the end of the world.

Apparently the Pirates are making a late run at Josh Bell. Hold onto your butts...

Doesn't just F5 work? It DOES! Also, news of major signings will be trickling out about an hour or two after the deadline passes.

Ctrl-F5 Ctrl-F5 Ctrl-F5 Ctrl-F5 Ctrl-F5 Ctrl-F5 Ctrl-F5 Ctrl-F5 Ctrl-F5 Ctrl-F5

Odd timing? The signing is likely not official yet.

"If I want to hit him, I hit him! I don't want to hit anyone with splitters, or sliders, or cutters. Who wants to hit someone with those pitches??" Fantastic. The look on Kaplan's face at the end when Zambrano screwed up his name was priceless.

Link Reed [expletive] Johnson? Seriously? I don't think Colvin will be much more than a 4th OF in his career, but there's more to be gained from playing him every day than Reed Johnson.

Callis Rogers:

In other words, the deal isn't official yet.

I imagine Z will work out some sort of settlement with the Cubs once this whole mess is figured out and he comes back. Then again, if he files his retirement papers, he won't see another dime from the Cubs. Oddly enough, from a salary standpoint, this might not be the worst thing in the world for this team. An additional $18m in freed up salary would give the Cubs plenty of ammo to go after Pujols and Wilson, with enough left over to pick up some spare parts for the rotation, bench, and bullpen.

LOVE YOU.
