Because that attracts me to make a bet? How about no?

Thats my point. You have no faith in Cubs spending money to help the team. Neither does anyone else here or anywhere else. Cubs say there in middle of guys just to please the dumb fans but the smart ones realize they are finishing 2nd on these bids on purpose. No way it happens this many times on accident. The 1 guy they won was the cheapest of all the IFA. He got 3 mil per year. Thats nothing baseball terms

Also there is no guarantee that the Cubs even pursue him that heavily so... again, no. I'm 20 not 5. I don't need to make a post bet...

I didn't know it was possible to purposely finish 2nd on a blind bid and beat out everyone but 1 team... huh wish I could tip cards.

All over internet Cubs are making sure fans know that they have scouts there. Again we all know Cubs will lose out to another team that willing to spend money

I'm told Cubs were "heavily represented" at Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez start tonight in Tijuana.

Clearly seeing as how no team bid over 20 mil while TeX bid 51 but sure we'll go with they knew what it would take even though nobody else thought he'd get that much.

I'd guess the first thought from Texas' front office was "glad we got him, but damn we wasted $30M."

Rich people are rich b/c they're incredibly good w/ their money. They don't "worry" about it, but they still regret it. :shrug:

Yu made them that 30 mil back + more prolly with merchandice sells + help selling tickets. Today during the Parade for Hawks Comcast said it perfectly: To make money you have to spend money

Oh, I agree that you have to spend to make...Just saying, when the figures for Yu were released, I'd imagine Ryan sitting back w/ a lit cigar saying "lol, damn."
