Fielder 25 mil. Cubs should have 40-50 mil to spend. So could get Fielder and still sign other FA

Kevin Goldstein I'm just baffled at what the Cubs and Royals did not do this week.

There's different estimates all over. I'll see if I can find the one I was told to look at.

Kevin Goldstein Charming stadium, good restaurants. RT @Ali_Thanawalla: Cubs players wanting to stay makes no sense to me.

I know what the Cubs should do...sign Fielder and Reyes. Fielder being a backloaded contract and Reyes being a front loaded contract. If that's possible. Fielder will get a bigger contract and after 2012, the Cubs don't have much on payroll. Or ones that'll are big contracts. reyes will come cheaper and give hime what Fielder would earn or less in 2012. If that's possible. that wouldn't be a bad idea. I like that idea and if tried, I think it can work.

That would be nice. I know Reyes is a really nice player but im thinking a SP could be more important to Cubs. Like CJ Wilson

* The Cubs now are 33-23 when they score at least four runs, good for a .589 winning percentage. When they score three runs or less, they’re 9-42. Saturday’s game was the fifth time since the start of June that they’ve scored more than four runs and lost the game.
Another reason they need a true number 3 hitter like fielder

That should allow them to be able and sign Wilson too.

Oh wow. I do not like that. I still think either the Giants or the Phillies will win the World Series. The Red Sox or Yankees will be the AL team in the WS.
