It seems like those Cuban players might end up costing a lot more than Chapman.

Look at all the holes in this roster. That's why.
So the Cubs will sign a bigger name than David Dejesus because of the holes in the roster?

CJ Wilson and Prince Fielder Chicago Bound.

as of now

LF- Soriano
CF- Byrd
RF- Dejesus
3B- open ( headley, vitters can fill that hole )
SS- Castro
2B- Barney
1B- Lahair or another guy like a pena to take the spot

SP- not great, but filled.
BP- Filled

not great players, but it isnt like half the roster filed for Free Agency.

You really think that that the Cubs are okay with putting that product on the field every day? We have money to play with. The Cubs will make at least one big splash this offseason. They have to. Theo has to win over the fans that we have lost since 09.

We have ~50 MM to play with. Do you really for a minute think that a 10 million dollar contract will be the big signing of the year? Think again.

Just because the Cubs have money doesn't necessarily mean it will be spent in getting better players for the MLB club.

Maybe Theo/Jed would rather not get themselves into a bad contract until the other ones are gone and will be more cautious.
