Stupid Piece of Garbage

Hoyer interview from a couple of days ago: On whether the Cubs will spend in free agency this coming offseason to address their needs: ...

My expectation is that they aren't going to really start trying money-wise until 2024. They'll likely spend more this offseason. Anything more will...

PCA did have kind of an Almora profile pre-2022 though. I like the power PCA has been showing, we'll see if it lasts as he goes up the ladder. He...

There's no 40-man roster crunch if much of the 40-man is trash and can be cut without blinking. There's like 12 guys who could be cut tomorrow and...

Wisdom getting a start at 1B tonight.. Uh-oh's for 2023.

Good call. He's hitting under .200 vs offspeeds and breaking balls.

Thank freaking gawd

Next year so far the entire lineup is filled with guys with 40 hit tool and 60 power OR 60+ hit tool and 40 power. In other words a bunch of meh...

He's a DH, and an upgrade over Ortega as a DH, so he's a decent pick up I guess. He hits fine against both LHP & RHP. I mean whatever. More...

Who are you talking about?

He's been a walk machine his whole career. He's worth keeping if they think they can get the control down, but it probably isn't going to happen. ...

Can they just release Cam Sanders. He's never going to throw strikes and he has never, going back to college.

Wisdom has been about as good a hitter as Happ has this year, somehow, in terms of wRC+. He's been a better hitter than Suzuki and Nico. He's an...

It's scary how little talent this team has on the MLB roster.

Yup i agree. I'd play McKinstry just to see. Only think i'm interested to see with Wisdom is if his defense can somehow get closer to average. ...

McKinstry or whatever his name is probably has the upside of Ortega but better glove. So basically he kinda sucks with bench potential or ok-ish...

But Soto hasn't agreed to an extension. If he doesn't extend it wouldn't make sense for the Cubs to deplete their farm on the value the Padres...

Ricketts needs to grow some balls and start spending wads of cash. Even if we resign Contreras we'd only be as good as we are this year which is a...

I agree. And the Cubs are managed like a faceless corporation that desperately wants inside your wallet. They've basically destroyed a lot of the...

I would be very curious to know what our payroll would have been the last 2 years of COVID didn't happen.

I guess the "thread the needle" thing was a failure lol

I meant someone who fits in the Cubs top 15-20 prospects. But seeing we're in comp round B or whatever it's called that might not happen.

You're right i forgot we pick later than I thought with the comp pick. This sucks. It is what it is.

It's not an easy sell bringing in a bat- first catcher with only 2 months left in a season where pitchers on a good team are already comfortable...

Yes i've said since he's a big tall long frame guy with a big long powerful swing it will be harder for him to hit for high AVG and maintain a...

Isn't that exactly what happened? Willy gets 2 more months I'm a Cubs uni. Tenure not ended.

What are Cubs catcher options next year? A giant pile of anus ?

Yu Darvish.

Well good news is Cubs could easily draft a kilian, triantos, PCA type with a comp pick.

It's pretty lame. Impossible to know the offers or lack of.
