I’ll say it again…
If you have negative tweets about PCA… I would delete them before it’s too late.
Giving Skubal a mega deal would make me very nervous, but it’s still annoying to never be in the running for the stars.
And again.. why not go after a big time pen if you won’t go for an ace?
An example of where two things can be true. It’s a solid base to start with, yes. But it still needs some big additions. Banking on Palencia and Zeferjahn as your only lockdown guys is a recipe for disaster. And 3 of these guys will probably get hurt.
All the morons who keep sharing PCA’s errors and saying he didn’t deserve a platinum glove… that’s like sharing video of the interceptions in a season from an MVP Quarterback.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Ian Happ would still have a no trade clause if he were to return to the Cubs (as a 10/5 guy.) Not sure if that impacts things or not. My preference is still Seiya or another addition, leaving one spot to fill internally if needed
Then you better be landing some great starters and a big bat.
The fact that the current pen is cheap should make this year a perfect time to spend on a proven stud. Might be bargain binning again instead.
Remember getting Aroldis Chapman in 2016? Don’t expect that this offseason... 😬
@sahadevsharma says the Cubs are “very happy with the base that they have,” and aren’t looking to spend big on bullpen help.
Can’t imagine the cap/floor will ever be this close (and the Cubs probably won’t want that). Something like 120 and 300 would make a lot more sense.
Man, I would love Suzuki to take that QO. Someone convince him the lockout brings too much uncertainty and he should accept!
I had 90% for Webb because it was an obvious return. If you’re mad at giving him 2 million, you crazy
Day one of free agency.. and we already get our first “Cubs want, but..”
Jed stepped it up to get Bregman, so maybe he’ll surprise for a move or two again this year. Still gets old seeing that.
Palencia should be your 5th or 6th best reliever on paper going into next year. Steele should be looked at as one of 7+ starters.
Every free agent starter would make me nervous (Skubal, King, Peralta, etc.) for the price.. but the Cubs probably still have to go hard after at least one. Would love to check back in with Seattle on a potential trade as well.
For the people saying “see you in 2028”.. you do know that they’d still have to come to an agreement for that to happen, right? You think they’ll take a salary cap in 2028 but not next year?
My guess is still: between 0 and 25 games missed.
Misiorowski either gets a championship tonight, or he gets the ball in Game 5. I bet he secretly wants a loss tonight (not really)
I’m honestly torn on the Hottovy return. He’s clearly done good things, turned some pitchers around, and you can’t always scapegoat coaches that didn’t have the best to work with.
But… dead last in pitcher WAR this year. Defense makes the pitching look better. Idk man.
