Hall of Famer

Whoever takes that job will clearly be on the side of owners, including Theo. The commissioner is not an independent arbiter between the owners and...

Does anyone know if there are restrictions on trading an IFA signee for a period of time? I see the Marlins are signing one of the better players in...

I’m guessing the ARod comps are completely unfair. He’s a very talented kid who is 17. He got a big bonus but he didn’t get their whole bonus pool....

It feels like it’s been 2 years since they locked up Hernandez, but it’ll be nice to make it official.

Big day for the farm tomorrow. They get to add a bunch of talented 17 year olds without having to give away their best players.

Theo is positioning himself to either join a future ownership group or eventually become the commish. Smart guy. I’m rooting for the ownership group...

After 2 years of lost/reduced revenues I’d be pretty surprised if there was no 2022 season. They’ll push it to the deadline and maybe they’ll even...

They’ve got money for this. https://twitter.com/michael_cerami/status/1349382889843134465?s=21

If they aren’t leading the offer with at least someone at Cabrera or Garrett’s level then the Cubs need to walk away. Contreras has a manageable...

I’d be very happy with a Contreras trade of Cabrera, a 2nd piece like Dax Fulton, and a 3rd piece who is some 17-19 year old IFA guy or the Marlins...

As long as you don’t care about getting a good performance there are endless options.

Dietrich hasn’t had significant minor league at bats in 6 years. It’s a lot easier to just acknowledge that it’s a terrible comp. A Martini/Ervin...

Use Tapatalk. It’ll pick up where you left off.

You are comparing the OPS and wRC+ of a 31 year old with over 2500 PAs and a 30 year old with under 300 PAs?

Just asking if anyone feels the same way. I find it annoying to see so many different past topics bumped in 7 consecutive posts from the same person....

Yeah. I can’t think of any QO free agents the Cubs have lost since this current CBA started so Cubs fans might not be familiar with how the pick...

I think we’re reading too much into it. To me it seems pretty clear that this guy has someone who tells him when some news is close sometimes....

I believe the draft pick would be after the 2nd round and only if the Cubs offer a QO that he rejects and he signs for more than $50 million. ...

Does anybody else dislike how Stratos pops in and refreshes 10 different conversations that are already over at the same time? The Cubs are...

People here keep using the word “strike” but it’s not a strike if the players and owners don’t agree on a new CBA. A strike would be if the players...

I don’t know if anything happens today but I think it’s likely KB will be traded relatively soon and Contreras will be traded before opening day.

You know “Director of Morale” isn’t a real job, right?

It seems like that’s the case. If not the Mets maybe the Dodgers or Jays. I’m pretty pumped to see the Cubs trade KB for a moderately interesting...

I think it’s partly what you said there, catcher is a weak position across the league so it’s a great one to have depth. The other part is that he’s...

Worth trying, but zero chance the Mets do that.

If you are cutting $80 million from payroll that isn’t being respent, then by rule you are not a buyer. If they dropped $80 million and spent it...

Agreed on the overall point. In terms of the Cubs selling players, they did try at a few points but they were never in a great position to do it....

It’ll be interesting to see if he becomes an outlier among owners in a few years or if he makes a big splash in his first few years and then settles...

Buy players with money and buy players by trading weak prospect packages because players cost money. The Mets just bought 8-11 wins with about...

I don’t think the correct Cubs take here is that they waited too long to sell. I think the correct Cubs take is that it’s BS that they can’t buy in...
