fathom Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Cubs have some pretty good pitching now, but that deal makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale The #Cubs are still finalizing the details, but Sanchez has agreed to the five-year deal that will be announced after physical Word is that it is a 5 year $75 million deal. Heyman and Rosenthal both say that it is not yet completed however. Deal gives the Cubs a rotation of Garza, Sanchez, Feldman, Baker, Samardzija, and Wood. Not too bad actually.

Yeah, it's just confusing considering everything else that Theo has done & said. Maybe he realized how little pitching the Cubs system truly has or just got tempted from sitting on all that money for so long. 3 straight seasons of 195 IP and ERA between 3.50-3.99, but age 29 on Opening Day. A bit of an overpay, but not an awful deal. Just kinda weird that it's the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 5 yrs, 75 mil. Um... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Tigers are still "very much in" the mix for Anibal Sanchez. Bob Nightengale of USA Today just recently reported that Sanchez had signed with the Cubs for five years and $75 million, but Heyman thinks he might have jumped the gun. Sanchez's agent, Gene Mato, told Heyman that he's still talking to multiple teams about his client. The Cubs might be in the driver's seat, but it appears that it's not a done deal.
