But I thought he would give the Cubs a discount because they were an up and coming team and he played for Maddon! [/greentext]

What we've learned is that the Cubs are not the team players who are free agents want to be a part of. Nor is Price's earlier comments about the Cubs anything but an example as I said. And finally Joe is not a selling point apparently
The window is small folks. Was that a heavy set woman I just saw? Probably not.
Come on Cubs and step up!

Your green text didn't take but I got the idea anyway. Personally, I didn't want him here anyway....The Cubs need TOR guy that can actually win post season games. Something that has somehow eluded Price. The Cubs aren't there yet but at some point I'm hoping that they'll be like the Blackhawks where the regular season is only for slotting purposes. Hawk fans don't give a shit about being the "best" regular season team....only that they are the best playoff team. I don't think getting Price was the way to get the Cubs where they need to be in that regard.

That's a lot of money for one guy. There are other options. Why handicap the team for one player?

That's very, very silly. Dude had $217 million reasons to sign with Boston. No deferrals just cold hard cash. You don't say no to that. St. Louis and the Cubs were both said in the $180's. No thank you to $217 mil.

The Cubs are built to win 90+ games.
They aren't built to win a championship... they don't have the pitching depth and they strike out too much.
No reason in the world why they shouldn't be spending money on top free agents right now.
Also, there's no reason why they shouldn't be able to acquire controllable young pitchers right now, considering the horde of position players in the organization.
But we are talking about the Cubs after all. And we all know how this thing is going to play out.

I changed my mind on Greinke > Price. Stats don't really support that notion.

The Cubs could have had Scherzer, Greinke or Price. Sadly, they hate spending money on top FAs, and don't know how to invest it properly, as evidenced by the Lester signing.
Besides, Greinke is looking for $200MM+ and I doubt he has any interest in the Cubs.
Look at the contending teams in the NL right now.
You need two Aces to get to a WS, folks. TWO!

i'm sure the Cubs managment knows that a TOR pitcher is the priority, either you sign a FA or trade for a TOR pitcher but why should we trade part of our talent to get a pitcher when there is Greinke as a FA? Give him what he wants and make the Cubs a real contender
