According to reports, Lelands has received a 2016 Cubs WS ring from an unnamed team scout and will be auctioning it with a starting bid of $1,908. I'm hoping the Cubs don't step in and try to prevent this, as when delivering the rings, recipients were made to agree that if they chose to ever sell the ring, the Cubs would have right of first refusal to buy it back. There is no word on whether this anonymous Cubs scout went through this step first or not.
