If you think the not-even-a-technicality that you consume your media by following BCB or whatever on facebook instead of visiting the actual url absolves you from the absurd, fantastic ownage you just got handed, then you would be Derwood.

I get not wanting to go over the top end (which is 248 this year) but it’s [expletive] not to be willing to be between the middle tier at 228 and top end at 248 and it’s completely ludicrous to want to get under the 208 this year and reset. They should be more than willing to pay the $6-15 mil or whatever in penalties for being over 208 but under 248. But if they are gonna do that just trade off Q and attach a prospect to Chatwood. Don’t take some horsefeathers package like Pache and Fried for KB to accomplish that.

Respecting CBT threshold. horsefeathers them. The Ricketts are about the worst possible outcome we got in new owners. They are going to make 10s of millions of dollars in profits on their TV network and Wrigleyville while "respecting the CBT threshold".

FWIW from the sounds of it, they really won’t be making money off the network for some time. It’s a back end/long term deal for them, since they had to sink a bunch of money in to it. But nevertheless, horsefeathers them.

Along with that...

 

 

There is no point in trading Bryant if the arbitrator is still weeks away from making a decision unless you are certain that the Cubs will lose the dispute. If you trade him now you will get less value than you should for your franchise cornerstone, and if you wait for a ruling before trading him, the offseason will be basically over.

 

Also, damn you front office but putting yourselves in a position where trading KB might be considered an acceptable option.
