Here's the linkage Jon Lester to sign with Chicago Cubs - ESPN Chicago

So excited I immediately went to get a soda and snacks!

There's rumblings that the Cubs will still be aggressive after this. Potentially a "big bat".

The Cubs can have Carl Crawford. The only thing we ask is for them assume the remainder of the contract that your boy Theo signed Carl to in the first place.

Levine: Carl Crawford Could Be On Cubs’ Radar « CBS Chicago

(CBS) The Cubs are in need of an outfielder, left-handed hitting and a speedster who can lead off and get on base. The Dodgers’ Carl Crawford may be the answer to all of those missing areas in one package.

As the offseason comes into full swing, Los Angeles must move an outfielder from its convoluted mix of highly paid, egocentric players they have in the mix that also includes Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier. Crawford is a leading candidate to be moved, depending on how much the Dodgers get back for him and how much of the three years and $63 million they will be willing to eat in a trade. Crawford has been injury-prone in the last three seasons, missing 234 games in that stretch, including 131 in 2012.

The 33-year-old Crawford already has several connections to the Cubs. He played for six years under new manager Joe Maddon in Tampa and was signed by president of baseball operations Theo Epstein in Boston to a seven-year, $142-million contract in 2010, so a deal with the Cubs could make sense. Crawford’s ability to lead off and get on base is a major need for Chicago,which needs top-of-the-lineup hitters to set up its young sluggers for RBI opportunities.

Crawford has a lifetime .332 on-base percentage. After Emilio Bonifacio was traded this past season, the Cubs’ top two hitters in the lineup had on-base percentage under .250 when Arismendy Alcantra and Javier Baez batted one-two.

Sawx fans can shut-up for a day at least lol.

Of course the Cubs suddenly want Crawford, that way we can add Matt Kemp to the laundry list of players the Padres were heavily rumoured to pick up this off-season but actually didn't.

No CJ isn't a Masshole, he is actually from Massatuestees. These "Massholes" are people from Eastern Canada that will inhabit a certain place in hell. They've only recently became Red Sox, Pats, Celtics or Bruins fans and frequently make the pilgrimage to Boston so they attend a "home" game.
