I don't know which I'm more excited about: Heyward signing with the Cubs, or checking out @BestFansStLouis later on tonight.

Both are equally wonderful. I love all of the "ANOTHER LOOSER WHO CHOSE MONEY OVER WINNING" tweets when it would appear he took LESS money to be a Cub, specifically because they're better than the fucking Cardinals. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Lots of reports on Twitter of "they're not done." Working on a trade for a pitcher -- sounds like another signing/trade sync-up.

Probably saying good bye to Jorge. I will deal with that later.

So, at some point next year, Joe could post the following lineup:

2B Zobrist
RF Heyward
3B Bryant
1B Rizzo
LF Schwarber
CF Baez
C Montero
P Arrieta
SS Russell

Time for a wank, I think.

Heyman seems to think the Cubs could still get Fowler or Span if they trade Jorge for pitching. That would be unbelieveable. But either way, very wank-worthy.

Gordo is saying Heyward will stay in CF and Jorge wont' be moved. He's still probably wrong but I like that I am 100% okay with either scenario at this point. They won't move Jorge unless they get the right deal.

I don't care if they don't do a single other thing this offseason.

I'm good. 
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Me too.  Not that I don't appreciate these pleasant surprises but I'm thinking their next trade will be in July and I'm ready for the season to start.

Remember 2 months ago when the Cubs didn't have any money to spend?

Good times.

EDIT:  It's started already!  Hee hee!  I am literally rubbing my hands with glee, here.

The BFiB calling anyone who spurns St. Louis a "trader" continues to be an endless source of amusement.

In a sea of tweets calling him a trader and wishing that he would suffer a debilitating injury, I enjoyed this one the most:
