    Cubs Cubs Lock Up Rizzo

    Cubs, Anthony Rizzo agree to long-term extension - MLB News | FOX Sports on MSN

    The Cubs have reached agreement with Rizzo on a seven-year, $41 million contract through 2019, according to major-league sources. The deal also includes two $14.5 million club options, sources said.
    Thus, the total value over nine years could be $68 million; Rizzo would not receive a $2 million buyout if both options are exercised. Escalators could further increase the size of the package to $73 million, sources said.
    First Castro, now Rizzo! Well done super friends!

    It'd be hilarious if the Padres signed Cashner long term tomorrow.

    In all honesty, while I'm still not a big fan of it I don't hate the trade as much as I did before since Cashner's actually not that bad.

    Of course, as I say this Rizzo will probably rise to Votto level.

    Justifying your team losing a trade is a tough job sometimes.

    The Padres have never made bad trades and signings because Kevin Brown, Andruw Jones, Jason Schmidt, Juan Uribe, Manny Ramirez, etc. etc.

    Man, I'm so sick of people making a big deal about David Freese's World Series MVP honors. Don't you know it takes a TEAM to win a championship? I can point out eight other guys instead of a horribly mediocre 3b in the middle of a small sample size hitting streak OH LOOK A MATT STAIRS MOONSHOT OMGZ HE JUST BEAT THE DODGERS ALL BY HIMSELF WITH ONE HAND TIED BEHIND HIS BACK TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES OMGZ MR STAIRS YOU ARE A GOD *suck suck slurp slurp*

    I see your Rizzo rising to Votto level and raise you Rubby de la Rosa and Allen Webster rising to Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling level to add to Carlos Santana rising to Johnny Bench level.

    Cubs never had a Theo/Hoyer caliber front office before. Cubs farm system actually has a lot of studs in it for the first time ever.
