Only saving grace of playing in a minor league park is the audio is terrible so Zaidman yelling isn’t so grating.

Hard to overstate the impact Tucker has on the team. Not just in elevating the lineup as a whole but in making the games watchable lol. Everything looks a lot more exciting with a true star in there 

I know there is some worry that he could simply price himself out of the Cubs range (and others who think the Cubs will never consider his price range, which, I understand the fear). But if he just keeps being awesome, there is an argument to be made that you simply can't imagine a lineup with out him. At least that's my hope. 

I'm already attached to him. I refuse to let him go.

I like Seiya, hope the Cubs resign him when the time comes.  Great DH and spot OFer

You're talking about a front office/owner who quite easily imagined a lineup without Bryant, Baez, Rizzo, etc.

If the Cubs let him walk then I'm never watching another game lol.  JK I will but that would be a greater transgression than the way they treated Sammy Sosa after he turned white

Cubs gonna leave WF and move to Sacramento for home games 😅

Should just offer an extension of 10/300 right now

In their defense, when they let them all go, they weren't wrong in the sense none of them have been particularly great. Baez had all sorts of red flags. Rizzo had a bad back. Bryant had been battling injuries. 

I understand the argument that the Cubs may not have paid them regardless (though reports are they offered good money to two of them) but it can't be ignored that none have been strong, either.

Tucker, as of now, is probably in a very different tier than any of them were in 2021. Hopefully this time the org recognizes his ability.

Zach Zaidman on 670 just asked Kelly during tonight’s pregame interview when he realized he hit the cycle

Thank God.

Taylor McGregor said that PCA went from a 33.5 to a 40 bat over the winter. I’m assuming she meant ounces? If so, that’s a tree trunk. She must have misspoke. 

[Stratos]

Ricketts has never signed a megadeal and never will.

[Stratos]

Max Muncy throws like my grandma.

[PeanutPunch33]

Unreal 

[Derwood]

I'm still concerned that Tucker didn't hit in spring training....

[Stratos]

The better Tucker hits the less likely we resign him.   $$$$$

[Dfan25]

This Tucker character is good at baseball 

[profisme]

I would feel more comfortable offering Tucker a mega contract if he had done better than 1-31 to start spring training.
