Cubs 2025 Season Review/Offseason Preview Thread

[Post Count Padder]

Yankees non-tendered Mark Leiter Jr and Scott Effross. And also Michael Arias (remember him?)

And we non-tendered Eli Morgan. I know he had a lost year but that kinda sucks given we gave up a really interesting prospect for him a year ago.

At the back of the roster it's foolish to have too much confidence in any move since the margins between players are so small.

But there's about a 200% chance Leiter gets brought back.  Hell I'd try to get him back in the building before Thanksgiving.

29 with a minor league option/ 1.1M .....for the price they paid prospect wise I was betting on them rolling the dice with him again.

They met with Boras at the winter meetings and likely made a best offer, but it won't be in the ballpark. Looking back on it, if Cam Smith turns into something, it's a wet fart trade. 

Tucker isn’t a Boras client.

I feel like we need to add a banner somewhere on here that says this

Doesn’t matter. Don’t you know facts don’t matter to a lot of people?

With the offseason getting underway I'm going to lock this thread.  We can have new threads that are more generic than specific rumors/signings, but it will be easier to navigate and interact with if we avoid a single thousand page thread.
