WHY GERARDO CONCEPCION IS A CHICAGO CUB

That was fast. It's being reported by by the El Nuevo Herald that Gerardo Concepcion has signed a multi-year deal with the Chicago Cubs. Good for Theo and good for the Cubs over the long term this could be a good move for the Cubbies, Concepcion is supposed to be a real talent. Read HERE. Look, I believe the Cubs will be all in on Yoennis Cespedes as well, although ultimately, it is my gut feeling that the Miami Marlins will sign Cespedes at the end of the day. After all, he is supposedto meet with Marlins management next week. Read HERE. That's a tweet from Rosenthal who writes that the Cubs are "deeply involved" with Cespedes as well.

The Concepcion deal is worth $7 million in incentives. Concepcion is 18 years old and what can I say, this is a truly nice pickup by the Cubs. In the back of my mind, I was hoping the Yankees were involved in signing this kid, but it doesn't appear to have ever been the case. This is the last report about the Yankees interested in Concepcion.... from January 18th. Read about it HERE.

And there you go.
