I know that we were told to stop with the Edmonds postings, but this is one of a different type. This is not regarding personal feelings about his decision to sign with Cubs or speculation as to why he did it. This is the truth.

He is a spy. 

Now, before you panic, please realize that I took into account that even if the Cubs fans and clubhouse were to read this article, they would still probably have no idea what to do with it, so I feel safe sharing this information with you.

Back when Edmonds was asked to waive his no-trade clause in the off-season, Mo knew the only way Edmonds would want to leave was if he was still going to be helping the Cardinals win. Because of this, Jimmy and Mo decided in a backroom deal that he would go to the Padres, get off to a horrible start, be released and then go to the Cubs (knowing the Cubs would bite at league minimum). Both knew there would be some barriers, but Mo -- knowing Cubs' fans' gullibility -- told Edmonds "if you can hug Zambrano, and somehow get on base your first at-bat, the Cubs and their fans will notice nothing from that moment on." Edmonds, like the champ he is, delivered on both of these promises (and put a tracking device on Zambrano to boot).

So what is he going to do as a spy? Plenty of things. I can't tell you all of them (just in case somebody in Cubs' management wakes up and sees what's going on) but you can speculate all you want, and that's why I'm making this a fan post! So knock yourself out and start speculating on what Jimmy's spy tactics will be.
