Come Tanaka my door...

Looks like we will have a formal answer in regards to where Tanaka lands on Tuesday or Wednesday. At the beginning of the weekend, reports were surfacing from other owners in the MLB that the Cubs would shock with their offer. 

David Kaplan tweeted yesterday that he had heard per an AL Scout that the Cubs offer is strong, but the current state of the team will make it hard to convince Tanaka. 

Theo stated on the Kaplan show yesterday in a message directly to Tanaka: "We have a lot of exciting talent on the way and you can be part of the greatest chase for a title in sports."

The clock is ticking as teams have until 5pm Friday to finish a deal. All news at this point is speculative. 

Where do you think the Cubs stand?
