lmao people are so pissed because the Cubs are awesome. Also, I know typical Chicago sports radio drivel, but I heard multiple people on the score speculate that the Cubs might end up being accused of tampering and losing draft picks. I'm pretty sure that until a FA has signed on the dotted line, clubs are able to freely speak with and negotiate with a FA. Idiots. I managed to hear about 10 min of Chris Rongey last night, scratching his head about why Fowler would only want a 1 year deal...and how dumb it was, etc... A bunch of texters/emailers must've explained how week next years crop of outfielders is, but he dismissed that as a huge risk because of possibly being injured or bad this year. I agree with Rongey that it wasn't exactly a smart decision financially. Not at all, really. I think he opted for comfort and winning and a little possible contractual upside. I don't see him getting much more money next year, weaker crop aside. He'll be a year older, will be in at least somewhat less of an everyday role, and who knows if he'll have as productive a season.
