I bet Cleveland was really upset when they traded him to Texas instead.

They were, Lucroy vetoed the trade and didn’t have the greatest things to say about Cleveland iirc

 

haha let's laugh at the logan since he forgot about that and tried to be snarky

figured davell would be interested in this

 

Even factoring in benefits, roster turnover and savings for the trade deadline, insiders project the Cubs can spend in the range of $30 or $35 million more this offseason and still stay underneath the $197 million luxury-tax threshold.

Yeah, I had it at 32 and some change, but the in season moves and callups are included in that figure. But, I'm using 15 mill for insurances, which IS a bit higher than any figure I've seen. Most figures I've seen are between 10-13 mill.

 

We can fit Yu in. My guess is it'd leave 7-10 mill to spend at mid season. Which is plenty.

 

Hell, it could be enough for Darvish and Yelich. Which would be a ridiculous off season.

We should swap contact books so we can text out fam/friends AND each others fam/friends, that way the information is presented in stereo and is presented in such an awesome way it gets at how cool a signing it really is. After 2016, I’d hate for people to become bored with the Cubs

It's going to be tough to cool down with our window closing this swiftly.

 

Cubs play in Milwaukee in early April. When do Brewers single game tickets go on sale? I would like to see Darvish in his second start as a Cub vs the Vaunted Brewers

Let them hope. And then lets get Harper too and smash their little dreams to hell

They go on sale around whenever ours usually do, late February maybe? There’s always cheap tickets available on StubHub or whatever though. You can get good seats for under $75 a ticket and in the door for under $25. Though may be a bit more this year since Brewer fans think they are good.
