Fowler Signs With Cubs.

This makes no sense.

No way he walks away from our contract for that contract simply because he didn't like the Gallardo situation.

Duquette should have moved to wrap up the Fowler deal right away. It was announced 3 days ago, should not have left it on the table to linger like that. This strategy of grinding out every little detail is maddening and it just cost the team BIG time. Now we just gave up the #14 for 2 years of an injured Gallardo. This is a massive failure IMO.

He didn't let anything linger. The man has to show up and pass a physical.

I'm praying this is Rosenthal going off the deep end after getting beat up on Twitter last night.

Nah, Cubs and other sources reported it as well. **** Fowler.

Must have wanted to be a Cub. Cubs traded Coughlin to make room

I'm not a hater usually, but I will love if the Cubs choke.

They already started to be insufferable towards the end of last season. Very Red Sox 2004ish. Hope they crash and burn!

[Finisher]

Afraid of the physical? He tends to miss a little time every year (except last year).

Unfrigginreal.

[Il BuonO]

Haha. When the O's renegotiate after Gallardo's physical, they have "buyer's remorse", but there is nothing wrong with Fowler reneging on a deal?

Lol, yes. "....whatever a man reaps, that he shall also sow."

Oh, the irony.

[Palmoripken]

Man screw Fowler and the Cubs.

I am sure if Gallardo had an out he would have left also.

[isestrex]

Simple.

Fowler got nervous that the Orioles' physical inspection would hurt his value.

I'm starting to get really scared about their ability to sign any FA in the future

Maybe he is hiding something, he knows wont make it past our Doctors?

[Capn Vivi]

So, uh, do we move on to Jay Bruce now? Pedro Alvarez wouldn't surprise me.

[Going Underground]

Nah, Cubs and other sources reported it as well. **** Fowler.

He was on the field at the Cubs Spring Training complex according to a writer.

[baltfan]

Jim Duquette just said that it was over an opt out. Said he know about it yesterday.

[MDK02]

So it's like Fowler waited until Gallardo officially signed and then said.. Ok, see ya!

I bet the Gallardo deal doesn't get done if DD would have known Fowler wasn't going to be signing.

This makes no sense. He should have just accepted the QO. Now he gets to be a Cub for 1/$13M.
