I’m not a big fan of the values on that site. Hendricks is undervalued.

Right. We can disagree about how much of a house cleaning is needed and which guys should go vs which ones should stay and who they should bring in. I’d hope we could all agree that they should try...

I don’t care how many of the current guys they keep. I think there was a core group there that is worth keeping and others that should be replaced, but if they want to replace all 26 guys and spend...

Regardless of how many “top prospects” they acquired the point was that trade values are lower now than they were then.

A blow it up rebuild is likely to be a long road to success unless they...

I’m talking about reducing payroll by $80-100 mil year over year.

The threshold is irrelevant for 20 or so teams. Mlb doesn’t have the level of revenue sharing as the NFL. This isn’t a salary cap...

COVID isn’t exclusive to the north side of Chicago. How many teams are sitting down $80 million in payroll right now?

Nonsense. I’ve been very clear about when the Cubs have spent and when they haven’t and what Theo deserves blame for vs what ownership deserves blame for. You are completely refusing to blame...

Can you read?

I said they went years when they were winning when they didn’t add anyone. I didn’t say they never added anyone.

They signed Darvish prior to 2018. They didn’t sign a...

Nope. The Ricketts said the payrolls prior to Theo were “unsustainable.” The tanking was going to happen no matter who got Theo’s job. It just would have been done worse if basically anyone else got...

I’m not going to be ignorant and act like the Cubs tanking twice in a decade is acceptable.

The Ricketts spend on players sometimes. They do not consistently have a payroll needed to have a team...

There are countless paths to take the current roster and add $60-70 million and be very good. Undo the Darvish trade. Pick up a guy like Lynn or Musgrove relatively cheap via trade. Sign a couple...

You are delusional. The Yankees last sub .500 season was 29 years ago. They made the playoffs 22 of the last 26 years. They had consecutive seasons missing the playoffs once since 1992-1993....

How often to the Yankees tank? How about the Dodgers? How about the big market Cardinals?

Tanking twice in a decade is not the only option for the Chicago Cubs. It’s a choice. It’s a choice that...

What about 2012-2015? What about dropping their CBT payroll by $22 million from 2016 to 2017 after winning the World Series?

When the Cubs tanked they said the money would be there when they were...

I’m guessing Romine is the Opening Day catcher after they trade Willson.

What would a Hendricks/KB trade to Toronto look like? Say you take back Roark to offset some salary and eat some innings. Roark is a net negative so that increases what the Jays have to offer. They...

Give me Davies. I’ll have 40 passed balls but at least I won’t die like I would if it was Marquez.

Hendricks and Rizzo are probably the only 2 players that I’d be shocked to see them trade.

Only if we all rotate as the Cubs backup catcher.

$1500 per month for the next 83.3 years.

Moneybags Ricketts isn’t messing around.

Nothing.

A small salary dump offset and a mildly interesting 18 year old or two or a not so interesting 22 year old or two.

That’s not what he means.

A trade would never be held up for that reason. A “source” doesn’t have to be Jed or some front office decision maker. A handful of people are in the loop before moves...

“Goodbyes are being prepared”

The other finalist for the Mets job was Zack Scott from the Red Sox. After they hired Porter they actually also hired Scott to a VP position. I’m guessing he’ll be named the GM in NY pretty soon.
