HBT: Cubs plan to spend money this winter

The Cubs stink and need to get better. The new CBA makes it really hard to get better via the draft and international signings. So it?s free agency or bust for Chicago. And they?re going into the market with their wallets open, reports Patrick Mooney of CSNChicago.com:

?We will have some financial flexibility,? Hoyer said. ?We?ve been diligent about making sure that we do have flexibility and we?re efficient going forward. We?re obviously going to be active in the free-agent market. I don?t think there?s any question about that.

Mooney notes that, after years of crappy contracts on the book, they only have $40 million guaranteed to players next year before you figure in arbitration cases, and that leaves a lot of room for Chicago to operate.

Between there being several teams with a lot of money having big needs and the fact that everyone is getting richer with TV deals, I think this winter is going to make us feel like we?re back in the early 2000s, free-agency wise. ?And I don?t mean with top-ticket signings, because the real blue chippers aren?t on the market as early or as often as they used to be. ?I?m talking about middle class free agents getting big deals. Think Pat Mears with the Pirates and stuff.
