Please add John Lester to the roster as it just broke on Comcast Sports Net Chicago that he signed with the team for 6 years 155 million.

Also article on website of said tv station: http://www.csnchicago.com/cubs/lock-it-cubs-secure-free-agent-starter-jon-lester 107.205.218.224 (talk) 06:45, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: The deal has been reported, but not confirmed. It hasn't yet been consummated, so we wait for it to become official. – Muboshgu (talk) 13:15, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Long confirmed now since the team site has had it.107.205.218.224 (talk) 17:02, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not so. The CSN Chicago link you posted says that the deal has been agreed to, not that it has been executed. This MLB.com story says, at the end of the second paragraph: "The club has not confirmed the deal.". – Muboshgu (talk) 17:05, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I meant the actual team site not CSNChicago or MLB.com, but it also says the team has not confirmed it (although that is typical for teams that have agreed to terms with a player). So fair enough. Although I think Montero was put on it right when the trade was announced and Hammels too but I don't want to argue it, just will end bad for me.107.205.218.224 (talk) 17:14, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Edit warring ends badly, but this discussion is great. Much better than all the people rushing to make changes on player pages, anyway. I appreciate the dialogue. What do you mean by "actual team site" though? It's chicago.cubs.mlb.com, which is where I got that MLB.com story I linked. As for Montero, trades are often consummated faster than free agent signings, for whatever reason. Montero was initially reported about 24 hours ago, and was confirmed by last night. As for Hamels, he hasn't been traded. There are lots of rumors, but none say a deal is done. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:18, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I meant Hammel (the guy the Cubs just signed not Cole Hamels from the Phillies). And yeah, I am a veteran of Wikia so I know those sorts of issues and the hassle a problem editor causes. And yeah, you are right chicago.cubs.mlb.com. Hmmm as for Montero that seems about right. It was reported a lot earlier than I thought it was. The Cubs site tricked me though because I didn't think MLB or the Cubs would allow that to happen/they'd have more control over their website affiliate. Anyway, shouldn't have been so pushy about it as the Lester news would be confirmed by a team press conference or by the team as some point today or tomorrow. Not like wikipedia is gonna let the news sit for 3 months before fixing it.107.205.218.224 (talk) 03:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
