Cubs Offseason 2014: So, what did your team do this offseason? Isn't that cute.

[PenFoe]

So according to Mooney and Cafardo, Cubs were the runners-up for Martin. After Anibal Sanchez & Tanaka, I think I've reached my limit of stories on how the Cubs front office went all-out to snag a FA target only to fall just short because of (insert excuse).

Just wait until the Red Sox re-sign Lester and the Cardinals sign Scherzer to replace Shelby Miller.

I mean, I know it's Bowden, but you shut your whore mouth.

Gonna be a real dick move by the Cardinals to bogart the golden age of the Cubs by being better than them every year.

I kind of want to see Lester sign with St. Louis. Just for the reax.

Torque Penderloin, Twitter and Vine Star, has officially taken precedence over Andrew Cieslak, Cub fan.

Starlin Castro's pants give zero fucks about the Cubs' offseason.

... and any pitcher can fall asleep dreaming of the run support he can get here once Baez rounds into form and Bryant is here.

Now that is what I call a Cub fan during the off season!

Stew's kind of on a roll today.

I'm totally fine with the Cubs offering more than this.  

6 years feels like the right amount, but if the Cubs want to go $150 that's cool.

I'm with you — $25MM/season seems fair for Lester.  Unless Theo goes with Al's suggestion and trades for John Danks, because reasons.

Those were 4 really impressive starts, to be fair.

I mean, he beat the ROYALS for Christ's sake.

If the Cubs are going in, might as well go all-in. Especially because a lot of other components will be cost-controlled for most of the next 6 years anyway.

This is an admission from me that this article wasn't well thought out and pretty weak.  As such, I'm closing comments.  Let's move on.

The rest of the articles, however, are fully thought out and incredibly strong.

BleedCubTweets indicated that apparently some guy writing an article on Al's main page advocated the Cubs give 5 years, $75 million to Chase Headley. I can't even process the level of stupidity behind that.

"Use some of that money to buy yourself a catcher's mitt, Chase.  You're our new Russell Martin."

I actually like Headley well enough, but I have no idea how he would fit into the Cubs' plans over the next five years.
