Maybe they plan on resigning him, and then promoting it as a big offseason move. Get fans to start think of Ramirez as gone, then, when he signs, it's like signing a free agent. Remove the tin foil hat. The black helocopters aren't coming for you...yet. So it's a conspiracy theory to think the Cubs might botch the offseason and promote resigning their own guys as big moves? i think its obvious they will spin this as a huge offseason move, they've got to keep from losing more fans to the south side. thats fine with me, as long as they actually make some other huge moves.
