That is pretty sweet. I thought for sure back in October he would bolt. As it turns out, the market was not as good to him as his agents thought it would be. Without this signing I thought the Cubs would be a shoe in for the Series. Now, not so much. I think it will be another Cubs-Mets NLCS. May the best team win. Let's GO METS!
