Ramirez ---> Brewers

[Rice Cube]

Source: Ex-Chicago Cubs Aramis Ramirez heads to Milwaukee Brewers - ESPN Chicago

Pending a physical. Should be interesting whenever he comes back to Chicago in the opponent's uniform.

No surprise, def after the Braun possible suspension (likely) and Fielder likely to leave. They also sign Alex Gonzalez and Travis Ishikawa. Gonzalez likely to be starting SS and Ramirez will be 3B. Ishikawa could be starting 1B if they don't sign Pena, and Loney (if non-tneder. Also, if they can't find a 1B vis trade.

Well, the Cubs weren't going to pay him, so whoever offers the most money/opportunity is likely to win his services.

 

[waldo7239117]

I want to see how much the contract was worth.

 

[BrewCrewFan]

Brewers needed this, considering Braun may be suspended and Fielder is gone. I am guessing that it is around 3/36 or something to that effect. With Rollins wanting 5 years, and Furcal getting 2, I don't mind the 3 year deal.

Gamel/Ishikawa are probably gonna split time at 1B.

Wasn't Gamel a 3B coming up? But with his defensive issues, he's more suited for DH or 1B...

The Cubs need to do something soon, this division is in upheavel and we are not doing anything to imporve.

The Brewers and the Cardinals are down and we need to attack.

Gamel played at 1B in the minors all of last year because they figured Prince would leave. I heard his D was pretty good at 1B.

Yeah that would make sense...

Hate to see him go to a rival but can't blame a guy for wanting to get paid. Not sure why he'd get booed returning to Wrigley since we didn't even try.

 

[waldo7239117]

Deal reported anywhere from 34-37 million.

Man, I knew it was obvious he wasn't coming back as a Cub, but now it's official and kinda sad his run with the Cubs is over. Still my favorite player though. I will still where his Cubs jersey. I need to get a Castro Jersey so I have a current player haha

Hell yeah! I think I want to get a grey Castro since my Aramis is a white one. White sucks. haha

It'll match up for when Braun is out.
