The NFL and NBA owners made a conscious decision to grant equity to players and build a true partnership. You think the baseball owners are going to do that? Hoping and wishing by the fans is what will put pressure on the players to take a bad deal. Instead, we should be 100% behind the players about getting a fair share. The only way a cap will work is if the owners don't play record-label games with the players over profits.

Cease is going to haunt the Cubs until he retires. What a dumb trade that was.

August 3, 2026 Trade Deadline Rumors/Gossip/Speculation Thread
CubinNY replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think that guy used to be a regular on here who was really sour but had some knowledge. -
I love it!
-
What is wrong with you? Their competitive advantage is they have smart people in key positions doing great work. Nothing MLB can do about that.
-
I really hope they don't trade Pedro unless it's for a really good starting pitcher who's not on the edge of FA.
-
Late inning bullpen disaster is upcoming.
-
Before anyone gets their undies in a bunch - I don't think anyone is an Asaad hater. I'm mostly joking with these posts. But I do think he's a very useful pitcher to have on a team. It seems like every really good team has one or two Asaad type pitchers.
-
Suck it again Asaad haters. He's the type of pitcher who has a 15-year career in MLB, and no one can understand why. It's because more often than not, he's going to keep you in the game.
-
Why is it bad for the sport? They are the smartest organization with some of the best draft and development people in baseball.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if it's the Dodgers or the Braves.
-
I suppose it's a semantic distiction. When I think of a pop up prospect, I think of a guy who went off for half a season, maybe skipped a level but nothing in his profile suggests it's sustainable or that he has a glaring weakness, not yet exposed to play. I don't think of a guy who's produced at every level with better than average defense at a premium defensive position.
-
I'll put it this way - Forget about his draft status, how many people go from the complex league to AAA in less than two years? Some of it is due to his age, but he's excelled at every level to this point. He may stall out at AAA, but nothing in his game points to that.
-
He wasn't worthy b/c of his draft status. Everything he's done since being drafted is worthy.
-
LOL, he was drafted in 2024 and his 2025 numbers (in a park and league that's not hitter firendly were eye poping enough to get him in the AFL.
-
Except Ayres has been doing it since he was drafted, at every stop along the way. He's not a pop up prospect. He's a new to you prospect. HIs main problem is age. If he was 21, he'd likely be a top 50 prospect. were
-
it's almost as if those grades are all made up and don't really correlate to anything. Think of it this way: all those scores don't add up to much of a total prospect, but really they are like the bead on the end of a shotgun as opposed to a rifle, they are a reference point, not an aiming point.
-
I don't follow the league as closely as I used to. Given the likely prospects involved and the need, my top target would be Gausman. Then I'd try to get a closer. They should not blow out the farm, and I think we may value the Cubs prospects more than other teams. I don't think Wiggins is all that attractive, or at least he wouldn't be for me. Then the top of the list is a bunch of quantity over quality besides Hartshorn. It's going to be an interesting deadline, but I expect a lot of smoke and not much fire.
-
So are they going to finally be good or what is happening? I'm not the biggest hockey fan but it seems like they've been rebuilding for 5 years.
-
The Cubs are buyers: who are your three trade targets?
CubinNY replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't know names, but in order of importance to me SP#1 - SP# 2 Closer (might actually be #`1) A bat off the bench who crushes left-handed pitching.
