Tanaka Watch Thread (Cubs Edition)

[Shawon0Meter]

From the Cubs convention via Jesse Rogers:

Theo on Tanaka: “I’m going to respect the request of confidentiality that’s come from the agent and the player, just let things play out.”

Theo on organization: “We’ve been honest since Day 1. If there is tension between the immediate present and the sustainable future that we’re building, we’re going to lean towards the future."


Samardzija on Tanaka: “You bring him and that R word (rebuilding) disintegrates."

reports on the score believe he gets 170 million. **** that shit!

that makes no sense. why blow 170 million right now. you wait and spend that money a guy like david price or other players to fill holes. most logical cubs fans wouldnt sign off on 170 million

Price is going to cost Kershaw per year cost. Dude ace went to 30+ mil per. Thank the Dodgers for causing a chain effect.

24 mil per is well short of 33 mil per

Btw I would be shocked if Price hits the FA market. I expect him to be traded mid-season and that team will re-sign him. A team acquiring Price will know his price and would be willing to give him what he wants.

MLB network said to expect 33 mil per but not the same years due to age. But by the numbers they are comparable to each other and Price is proven in the toughest div..

Expect 30 mil annual around 5-7 years.

I seem to recall being scoffed at when I suggested that low 20 million isn't ace money anymore earlier this offseason.

Anyone else think that Shark would soften on the no trade clause if the Cubs signed Tanaka? That quote says a little bit in my opinion.

true.. at 25 Tanaka would be part of the Rebuild on the pitching end..
I dont think Shark wants to be dealt and is just hoping as I said above, that if the cubs get Tanaka then they keep Shark.

Ya it was dumb but not too far off.

It is not going to force them to spend but it should make them fast track Baez and Bryant to give the staff better run support.

Another point is it should push forward a Wood extention.

On Shark. It depends on his production this year. I have to believe he would have been locked up with the price tags ramping up if he didn't suck in the 2nd half. His era was near 5 the 2nd half.

It makes me question him and his comment was not to smart either.

The deadline for Tanaka is in a week and some feel the Cubs are front-runners. Check out this insider article for more.

What would you expect him to say? We are still going to suck we get Tanaka. **** no.

Why don't you take your bias to the Sox forum

listen ya little 13 year old theogasm ****. i behave when there arent little dopes like you chiming in. I behave when fans are "real" when it comes to their team.

I thought I was "irrelevant" to you.

and Im far from bias. Ask the vet cub fans, they know what gets me goin.

so if you dont like what i say, take your energy and write an article about something...like how he chooses the best coffee at starbux.

He is known for dumb ass comments.

But I got the 1 month ban for 'conduct detrimental to board discussions.'

CCS politics at its finest. If you don't love Theo and don't think what he's doing is special, and have the balls to voice your disliking, or call him on on shit Theo said--see ya.

But if you slurp him and everything he does, no matter how unrealistic--this is the place for you.

Pat, you are listening to much to Boyd. Ignore the dummies and just discuss baseball. You use to be able to have a real good convo. Now, you just get all worked up. Relax my old CBS friend. We are all in this together and we will all taste the glory of a Cubs championship one day. I mean I am only 28. I figure theres a shot I see a Cubs championship. I saw a Saints championship and I thought that would never happen.

Less dick swinging and general grab-assery -- more talking about how Tanaka will end up signing with one of the teams from LA for $160 million over 7 years.

MLB source believes Cubs are lead team for Tanaka .

So there's that.....Though I do love how ever topic turns into theo sucks or he doesn't. Ditto for the ricketts.
