Have fun in Arlington, E-Jax.

If the money is around the same, I don't really see why he would come here.

He is going to Texas unless the Cubs just overpay and i don't see it and i don't want them to overpay.

[huff]

Cubs=leverage again.. I wish we could sign him tho

[La_Biblioteca]

I think I know how this one is gonna go:

*Cubs have signed Edwin Jackson 4 years, X Money*
*The Cubs have not confirmed the signing of Edwin Jackson yet*
*Rangers are still in the mix*
*No they aren't*
*Rangers sign Edwin Jackson 4 years, X money + 2 Mil*

Hello Carlos Villanueva

[JBears79]

Yeah he will go to Texas barring an overpay by us.

[A New Era]

let's just assume not the Cubs. In fact that's what I'm gonna assume in every FA and trade from now on forever.

Well, I think we all know how this one ends

Wouldn't give him 4 years that is for sure.

I would absolutely give him four years. You can't hope to compete in 2014-16 if you don't start laying the real foundation now. And that means more than just piling up promising A-ballers.

[huff]

whats really awesome is when he signs with the rangers that takes them out of the garza sweepstakes for a while...highly doubt they move on him after that..double whammy!

I would as well.

EJax prefers NL and has really eaten up the Cubs pitch... Money almost identical, Cubs definitely in the lead...
