I'm thinking the best offseason to hope for is probably something like:

 

Lose: Arrieta, Lackey, Rondon, Davis, Duensing, Grimm, Jay

 

Add:

 

Otani

Alex Cobb

Jake McGee (little cheaper since he doesn't have the "closer" tag)

Pat Neshek (old guy that will probably take a 1-2 year deal)

Some lefty guy

 

- Lineup looks the same, minus Jay but adding Otani upon occasion

- Rotation becomes Lester, Hendricks, Q, Otani, Cobb

- Bullpen becomes McGee, Strop, Edwards, Wilson, Neshek, Some Lefty Guy, Montgomery, Maples/Minors

Some of the more interesting bullpen free agents:

Davis, Holland, Addison Reed, Jake McGee (LHP)

Brandon Morrow, Juan Nicasio, Brandon Kintzler, Bryan Shaw, Sergio Romo, Steve Cishek, Seung-hwan Oh, Anthony Swarzak, Matt Belisle, Mike Minor (LHP), Tony Watson (LHP)

 

SP front is what, Jake, Darvish, Tanaka (likely), Cobb, Lynn, yikes...Cahill, Chacin, Fister, Sabathia, Tillman...

Seriously who the horsefeathers is this clown???

 

And again why couldn’t Granderson play again tonight

 

Granderson has started one game in this series. I’m sure they were jumping to throw his declining butt in there against a LHP.

A guy who was so bad I played Kevin Pillar over him in fantasy all year

Chris Taylor is Brady Anderson and the dodgers have a rampant PED program at the major league level btw

 

Doubt it. Did a few guys play over their heads. Yep. I still think our guys will be more consistent performers.

 

Jansen, Bellinger and Seager are solid. Turner not so sure.

We lost to the better team in this series, flat out.

 

Last three pennants have been celebrated at Wrigley Field. The NL title has to go through the North Side — the new normal. Hard to complain about that!

He's put up 18+ WAR the last 4 years.

No stress right now, just appreciate 2016 even more and this great core of young players and fantastic front office.

 

Go get 'em next year.

Definitely prefer this era of having a chance every year rather than the alternative. Hopefully the Cubs can capitalize again next year.

 

Start the countdown to pitchers and catchers...

They haven't announced that date yet, but it's about 125 days right now, assuming that they'll report around February 21st.

i'm not disappointed, but i'm still annoyed that it happened to that team in that fashion

 

Yeah I'll definitely be rooting for whoever comes out of the AL. Houston would be ideal but I would enjoy Starlin getting a ring too.

 

Although I fear it is LA's year. They are making it look easy right now.
