I'm going with Dawson. They got him for a significantly below market blank check contract.

Oh right. Yes, if we are counting hockey as something that exists this is probably the clear answer.

It has to be Hossa. 3 Cups > one WS.

I never followed hockey and only started casually watching when the Hawks were winning. I wouldn't have known this was a great answer.

Probably have to go by sport. I'm sure I'm missing something big but these are the one that stick out as being meaningful.

Bears: Julius Peppers (yeah yeah, they didnt win anything but the defense suddenly turned back into beasts when they signed him even if he wasnt racking up stats)
Bulls: N/A
Hawks: Hossa
Cubs: Lester
Sox: Was AJ a FA or did they trade for him? If he was FA, its him.

Brian Williams (Bison Dele) for the Bulls

Scott Feldman because he led to Jake Arrieta.

Carlos Boozer for the Bulls.

Thats getting pretty deep into the weeds, but I'll allow it. I still say Lester but I like your angle, you're the Browns Chicken Caller of the show!!!

Is Lester better than Dawson?

Bulls would have to be Harper or Paxson.

Brian Williams is the reason they won the 6th title. If he stays on Utah, they win.

Paxon would lead to him becoming Garpax, so Harper is the clear wi wi winn er.

I mean it depends on what you're looking at. If its dollars vs value, you have Dawson and even Joe Borowski

Can't believe Thomas Jones isnt getting more love.

Aj vs JD is a good one.

I'm looking at generations of fans finally celebrating a title vs a guy winning the MVP on a last place team. Dawson is awesome but Lester is the only correct answer for the Cubs.

Many laugh but that is probably true.

Every other Cub team in history got close, shit went down, and they folded. This one came back.
