Gordon Wittenmyer @GDubCub 59m59 minutes ago ML exec with ties to at least one team in bidding believes Lester leaning toward Giants.
I don't think anyone really knows. I think it's either the Giants or the Cubs.

Really looking like he's going to be a Cubby. How do you turn down the amount of money the Cubs have tossed at him
A lot of times when you're the high bidder, you don't know what you're doing. We'll see what the contract is. The Cubs have so much young, cheap, talent in the field that they can afford to potentially overpay a player or three, though.

Whew! The back end of that deal is going to suck, but what an addition in the short/mid term!
Hey! Hey! Holy mackerel! No doubt about it! The Cubs are on their way!

If we get saddled with a bad contract for a 2-3 years after winning a World Series at some point in the next 3-4, I'll take that ****.
Just woke up and saw the ESPN notification on my phone. It's going to be a glorious day you guys!
