Midnight EST, I'm guessing. The window doesn't exactly close tonight. It just gets harder, more expensive, and if he's re-signed after tonight it counts against the FA quota. So the Cubs would lose their pick to the Cubs? They wouldn't lose a compensation pick to themselves (obviously), but after tonight the signing counts against their limit (4 Type A/Bs) this year. Man a bad joke, I've gotta add a wink next time. This would make it Cubs 101 to have them sign Rameriz after the deadline. 102 is to let him go.
