Well, last night I posted a wishlist that included Brian Giles (but maybe just a pipe dream). Giles chose not to take the Blue Jays’ offer of 5 years and $55 million — instead re-upping with the Pad Squad.

Would have been nice to see him in Wrigley. But the Milton Bradley rumor has metamorphosed into more, here it is in the most reputable of Cub sources. The only question remains — can we sign the Parker Brothers next?

Side note: Some checking has revealed that Milton Bradley and Parker Bros. are actually owned by toy company Hasbro – under the umbrella of a veritable board-game conglomerate.

I know, I know. It’s terrible. Where else can you search for a board game? No shops, no stores, no brands, no knock-offs.

There’s no competition!

It’s … uh …

a Monopoly.

Boggles the mind.

Eep.

Is this thing on?
