That’s interesting. They are in great position to grab the division with another bat or two.

Contreras at 2/15-17 mil is a steal for somebody.

Cant wait to see this guy get some PAs. Obviously there’s more to hitting than strength but the new swing looks pretty calm and the strength is massive.

I’d take Rodon but put him in the pen. I always sort of liked Williams.

It’s what’s so infuriating about this offseason. I think there is talent in this system that if combined with a very competitive payroll the Cubs should have been able to transition from one window...

I’m looking forward to a Milb season. Franklin and Jensen in a rotation together should be fun. This is a big year for Marquez. Davis will shoot up rankings with a nice season in AA. Amaya might...

The Cubs won the division last year and he was cy young level. He was hurt in 2018. That happens.

The Darvish deal was a steal and no real analysis is needed to support it. He had a lost year to...

The Cubs seem very excited about Franklin. He’s got a chance to jump up rankings lists once the games start up.

I’d guess he starts in South Bend, which is now A+. Maybe they give him a few...

It’s also not surprising to see Rosenthal come out with his article echoing owner talking points and chastising the Union about not wanting to shorten the season about an hour before the AZ letter...

Maybe the Cubs can go back to Catalina Island.

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.
