Chestnuts.

Well, I suppose if you cast a wide enough net you'll find someone who considers themselves an expert predict pretty much every possible FA signing.  I just don't recall any of the bigger names predicting Cain or Darvish to the Cubs.  And with good reason, because I don't think there's much chance either is going to happen.

Curt - Not to nitpick, but in my quick skimming of those articles none of them seem to "predict" the Cubs end up with Darvish. Rather they tend to make a case for why the Cubs "need" or match up with Darvish.  I would be shocked if they sign Darvish, or even give a serious effort to do so.

Who was it who used to insist the Ricketts family would never spend real money on the team and were just looking for a chance to fleece fans who would continue buying tickets for crappy teams?

I think Theo and Maddon have the best chance of persuading him.

Damn.... looks like that guy had it right about signing Darvish.
