So Fowler is going to be a utility guy? They have Schwarber, Heyward and Soler locking up the OF slots.

This is nuts. I'm interested to see what happened with the Orioles deal. Good deal for the Cubs.

Whaaaaaa....
I literally just read yesterday that he agreed to terms with the O's and now I get this alert on my phone. Crazy

I would think Fowler in CF and Heyward in RF. You would think Soler will be moved soon.

Whoa...something's afoot.

Not to mention Baez just chillin....good problem to have though.

Yeah, great problem to have. They have to have something in the work for Baez and/or Soler.
Posted on 2/25/16 at 11:53 am to hawgndodge
Well this came out of nowhere.

Orioles were 3/33 IIRC and we just got him on 2/15.

I think a trade is about to go down. If I had to bet I would say Soler for a SP.
Posted on 2/25/16 at 11:54 am to The Sad Banana
Soler trade coming? This is weird.
Posted on 2/25/16 at 11:54 am to hawgndodge
I just got the alert too. Heard yesterday he had signed with Baltimore. Guess that fell through

We were standing at the back fields this morning, deconstructing the Chris Coghlan trade – I was literally telling people to wait and see what happened with the rest of the outfield before freaking out – and Dexter Fowler walked onto the field.
Literally. That just happened.

Cubs re-signed OF Dexter Fowler to a one-year, $13 million contract with a $9 million mutual option for 2017.

Fowler clearly wanted to be in Chicago
Posted on 2/25/16 at 11:56 am to hawgndodge
As if the Cubs weren't nuts enough. Too bad it's an even year though.
Posted on 2/25/16 at 11:57 am to MetryMojo
I don't know what to think anymore. So loaded with young talent. And then I hate to see us get rid of some of it even though they can't all be on the field at the same time and we are trading talent for talent at other positions of need. Is this what being a good team feels like?
Posted on 2/25/16 at 11:57 am to Harry Caray
Apparently, the Orioles wouldn't give him an opt out after year 1 so he walked. Orioles are stupid.

$8M with a $5M buyout after year 1 is what i'm reading.
Also read he wanted optout after year one and Orioles wouldn't give it.
