Das Texan Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 So the Tribune company is opening their pockets..... Overpaying and it will haunt them particularly in years 3 and 4. But whatever they want to do...whatever.....I guess if they cant beat the best they just have to try and take the players that beat them. I guess this means Damian Miller is now a backup for about 20 games a year or until Pudge gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Shadow Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 The deal will be completed this weekend at the winter meetings, BUT the O's /Dodgers could make a last run. I do think he'll get that contract he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 That's $10-11 Million that will hold them back in a few years. Good for them. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshFish Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 That's $10-11 Million that will hold them back in a few years. Good for them. :lol How can you be so sure? sure it is a gamble and risky, but it may be huge for them. They will be a lot better team on 2004 for sure, with huge upgrades on 1B and C.

Wild Card Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 They will be a lot better team on 2004 for sure In 2004, yes. But Pudges contract will hold them back as he deteriorates in '06-'07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reclusedx Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 out of all the teams, i cant believe this. The cubs mean business but they're stupid for signing him $10-11 mil a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orisha Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 now watch pudge get hurt, lee be his usual overrated self and the cubs go down in flames like always and do like most overspending teams end up doing, rebuilding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 lol, exactly Das. Maybe they'd like to take Encarnacion too? Geez. Alfonseca, Clement, Lowell, Lee, Pudge, Castillo, is there any Marlin the Cubs don't want? Good thing we already signed Mordecai! Too bad they can't win with their own players...

AJBurnett34 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I knew pudge wanted to go there. The cubs need a catcher, thats a little weak spot they have (the Catchers position). With Pudge's bat they really have a chance to compete again. Just Bring us Javy Lopez or Vlad and i will forget about pudge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minus Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Cubs GM showing why he is an idiot once again... Trading for Derreck when he already had Simon. Signing a 32 year old Catcher who has a history of injuries to a multi year deal.Pudge didn't exactly light it up during the regular season.

dolfinfan305 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 When the playoffs came around is when Pudge finally woke up and said "Need to audition for next year to get that last fat contract before i retire"...i bet he wouldnt have had such a good postseason if he already had a multi-year contract under his belts.

MiRi Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 If it is true, my boyfriend will be happy. He's always wanted Pudge to go to the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolfinfan305 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Thats what i like about Beinfest...he doesnt give multi-year contracts that easy so that the players have an extra incentive to better themselves and play better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
