And Javy.

He wishes.

His ERA is infinite right now. 4 ER and zero outs recorded.

Hoyer should have $100-150m to work with this offseason. Should.

Again, that’s not how options work.

This is Alzolay’s final option year regardless. As soon as the arbiter granted the cubs the option on him the Cubs were always going to use it to manage his...

It might feel like 3 years but it hasn’t been that long. I think the 2018 draft was a turning point for the system, which started to become clear during the 2019 season. Since then it’s been on the...

In case you didn’t notice, nobody is giving up their farm to acquire good players anymore. The trade market has changed.

Yeah, it wouldn’t have been hard at all to build a team that would have been a clear favorite in the central as people said in those comments.

On paper this is a 75-80 win team. You’d probably...

Every one of those posts you quoted is exactly correct.

They are bad because they didn’t try to build a good team. You can’t turn around and say them being bad justifies them not trying to be...

That’s not how options work.

This whole season counts as 1 option.

It’s not a reflection on his pitching.

They were always going to have to manage his workload this year because of the lack of innings in his history. If Hendricks is good to go next time through...

Probably so.

They did just win a game Woodruff started vs an Alec Mills emergency start, so who knows.

I wouldn’t put a penny on the Cubs today (or any day really), but no baseball game is...

Yep

Gonna need a time machine for that one.

Elijah Green is the guy you want (but won’t get). Maybe they’ll be bad enough to get Andrew Jones Jr.

This team kind of sucks, but do you remember 2012?

The Cubs have all 3 of them now and fans (understandably) aren’t very happy.

If Javy is making $20 mil per for the next 5 years and putting up a 90 wRC+, will cub fans be happy?

I think there...

For sure. The best case scenario is that they have incredibly good luck on injuries and they get enough out of the non-Hendricks starters to win about 85 games and win a weak division. The far more...

Haha. We’ve made it through many years of day to day hot takes here.

It’s an entirely mediocre roster. If they put their best 9 on the field it isn’t a bad team, but it’s not a great team. Beyond...

I think it depends on how we define a large amount. It’ll be pretty much impossible to field a roster in 2022 without them spending a lot this offseason, but I’d guess the overall payroll is still...

Yeah, but luck has to be a big part of it. They’ve been basically a .500 team since 2018 (.490). They are a .467 team in deGrom’s starts in that time frame.

They haven’t had great teams, but it...

Bad luck is a big part of it. Why do you think the Mets have lost more than they’ve won with deGrom starting since 2018? He’s been the best pitcher in MLB by a wide margin in that time.

It’s not...

You mean Joc won’t win MVP?

If you makes it feel better he miscounted. It’s 11 walks and a HBP.

Good thing to keep in mind when people say that Rizzo is gone if they don’t extend him before 1:20 tomorrow.

If they give Rizzo a deal he wants on July 1 or Jan 1, he’ll sign it.

Yep.

It sounds good now to just give him a little extra money because we all love him and he outplayed his last contract, but if they do that people will be unhappy that he’s making $20 million+...
