[Weebs]

Letting Harden go has been the Cubs second best move of the offseason.

gee chuck please tell us what you think their best move has been

Raising ticket prices?

He probably thinks that Bradley-for-Silva trade went through.

gee chuck please tell us what you think their best move has been

Sale of the team, I assume.

I'm going to go with the purging of their Aarons.  But that would make this their third-best move.  I'm confused.

Crap, I think you win. I can't argue with that. It's fun to call Chuck names but the Aaron Purge was awesome.

Big scoop from Gordo:

Cubs source: A Bradley deal could get done in the next day or two. Also told same thing 2 days ago.

I believe that's code for: get the fuck out of my face you ugly tithead.

Harden, Rangers agree on a one-year deal with an option for 2011, minimum value $7.5 million

Not that he was going to stay or anything anyway, but, you know, for your information.

Actually, it's a minimum of $4.0mm with $3.5mm in innings pitched incentives.

No.  It's $6.5MM base in 2010 with a potential $1MM buyout for 2011.  Therefore, if he's bought out, $6.5MM + $1MM = $7.5MM.  That is the minimum amount he can make in the deal.  You ignorant slut.

Ken Rosenthal says Next Great Cubs Signee Mike Cameron is in serious talks with the Red Sox for a two-year deal.

(In contrast to the non-serious talks that keep getting Dempster's contract offers rescinded by humorless GMs)

Looks like the holdup in the Milton Bradley hostage situation is going to keep the Cubs from signing Cameron and we'll be stuck with The Great Sam Fuld in CF next year.  Thanks a lot, Jim.
