The Cubs totally legally and legitimately poached Joe Maddon right before they won a World Series, so I'm hoping this is more of the same.

Good for Counsell on getting that absurd amount, and from the Ricketts no less

Nightengale had reported that Melvin was the highest paid manager at $4M and even accounting for Bob being Bob, that's still a huge jump.

I really don’t know about Mendoza, a yankee bench coach, as the next Mets manager. * I only mention the Yankee bench coach part because that is all I know of him, this is not Yankee hate

According to BRef the most Counsell ever made in a season as a player was $3.17M. His total career earnings were $20.98M

Cubs should immediately announce that Ross is taking over for Girardi on Marqiee Network and that Joe Girardi has been sent to a CIA black site.

And this is Brian Kenny, who foamed at the mouth calling Joe Musgrove a cheater after the NLWCS last year.

Saw on Twitter that Brewers were prepared to offer him $5.5mm a year, Mets were expected to be in at $7mm, so the Cubs probably just won a very goofy bidding war.

I would like to thank Counsell for the division titles and reaffirming my belief that the Brewers aren't winning the WS with Attanasio owning the team.

I...did not see that coming. Holy poo poo. I guess this means we're gonna be active in the FA market. Although it would be the most Cubs thing to give a guy the highest managerial contract ever and then do fuckall in signing players.
