Well, in all honesty he hasn't said it since Rickets changed his stripes.

Then why did San Francisco offer 7 years, 168 million? The Red Sox low balled him and played with his heart strings. The Cubs added a 7th year option and sold him on the prospects. It wasnt your 20 percent nonsense. lol

Lester and Maddon are great additions but nobody will impact our organization like Kris Bryant. The dude will make Mike Trout look like Felix Pie.

They didn't. It got clarified this morning that Lester did take the biggest offer on the table. It was 20%. Added much more cash and added an optional year. I am totally lost why you can't show any objectivity with this.

Per MLB Network (10:00 am Wed) Giants offer may have been tops financially, including a 7th year.

ZOMG can't handle this. ESPN is saying the Cubs could look to send a top prospect to land Justin Upton, Jordan Zimmerman , or David Price.
However, Bryant is obviously untouchable, and they can't see the Cubs trading away Russell either.

Depending on the prospect that isn't a bad thing.

Ouch. Just reading a column about the Cubs drafting one spot ahead of where the Red Sox took Lester.
We took Brian Dopirak, a 1B (that's SO Cubs!) who never made it to MLB.

In case they're asking us, and I know they're not, I say Upton is a VERY distant third in that scenario.
Obviously the prospect in question would change dependent on which target. They can have Brett Jackson for Upton, and I'll throw in Josh Vitters and Felix Pie.

Does that take into account California tax? The Cubs offer probably nets more money in Lester's pocket, even if it were the "smaller" of the two.

So are the cubs going to be good now? Honest question. Haven't watched the Cubs in 10 years.

Good, yes. Great? That remains to be seen. But it's clear the Cubs are going into a season with a real chance at making the playoffs for the first time in over 5 years.
