Good god is that a lot of money. I didn't think he'd get $5 mill, let alone $7 per for 2 years

 

I would have paid him $2.5 million a year...

I think they wanted their version of Oliver Perez back. Strikeouts are sexy.

Oliver Perez was actually good last year.

Harden tore his rotator cuff while signing his MLC. Now on 60-Day DL.

Signing Jackson might just be a roundabout way to acquire prospects at the deadline.

That's just not happening. Teams in competition aren't going to be looking to take on 3.5 years of a contract.

Feldman and baker maybe but the Jackson deal is too rich

OF Nate Schierholtz officially agreed to 1-year contract w/Cubs. LHP Gerardo Concepcion cleared waivers & outrighted to Single-A Kane County

 

Wasn't that the guy the Cubs signed from Cuba last year?

One of them - the big ticket guy was Jorge Soler, of course.

Damn, and now a year in, no one would touch him. That is pretty bad.

When did the Kane County Cougars become a Cubs affiliate? When I worked there it was the Marlins and then it went to the A's.

Awesome. Knuckleballers are so fun to watch. Makes me wish Charlie Haeger panned out. In that clip, the last second veer to the right just as it's going to hit the mitt is great. I have no idea how people refrain from taking Uribe-esque hacks at butterflies like that every single time.

Like just a few months ago, I think after this season it became official.

God was he an awful baseball player. He was fourth in that horrible streak of 1st round picks we had from 1991 to 2006 or 2007. Good god did we waste a lot of high draft picks.

That's just not happening. Teams in competition aren't going to be looking to take on 3.5 years of a contract.

I think people forget that certain organizations can't just sign FA's because players don't want to play there. For example, if KC or SD contend, they'll have to overpay at the deadline because they have such a hard time buying players.

I'm glad it happened now not in the 90's. I would have hated to have to turn down the job.

Idk if MLB memes on facebook is a reliable source but they said Cody Ross to the DBacks, 3 year contract.

 

That doesn't make much sense...They would now have Ross, Upton, Parra, Kubel, and Eaton.

 

Gimme some Jason Kubel PLZ

I'm always amazed by how mch teams pay for "proven" closers. Ex-Sox Jason Grilli is your new closer in Pittsburgh.
