Its either going to be the Cubs or someone in the American League. The Red Sox and Yankees are both out, as they have aging position players that will transition to DH soon AND have great players at first base right now. Most teams can't afford to pay him what he's going to get on the open market. I'm leaning on him going to the Cubs, Theo wants to make a splash, and has no problem signing aging players to 7 year contracts.

Cubs are going to overpay Fielder, not an ancient Pujols.

Although I'd be thrilled to see the overrated Epstein go full retard and give a 35ish year old 2-time champion over $100 million dollars to play first base for the Cubs

The issue with this is that Theo is probably going to see that he can sign Pujols and do nothing else, or try to improve positions that seriously need improving. If the Cubs were a bat away, it would be worth over paying for Pujols, but they're several bats and several arms away from contending.
