Carroll: Aramis Ramirez To Stay A Cub?

Baseball Prospectus's Will Carroll gave hope to Cubs fans everywhere in his chat today.  When posed a question about Aramis Ramirez leaving the Cubs as a free agent, he responded:

"I don't think Ramirez will leave. In fact, I think the deal's essentially done to keep him."

I thought that one line was definitely noteworthy, as Carroll is known to have some solid Cubs sources.  Last month, the Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan indicated that Ramirez would stay, while SI's Jon Heyman thought differently.

I think that Ramirez will stay a cub, i think he will want to renegotiate his contract this offseason. I hope they get it done before the world series so that the other teams dont have any ideas. What else do you think the cubs will do this off season?? thanks alot
