  1. They could do the patented underslot deal with him.
  2. For a team that likes to talk about analytics and whatnot, it's a bit inscrutable that when Jed signed him they talked up his leadership skills and winning attitude. Then he brags about doing nothing during the offseason. But he's a bible thumper and I'm sure a tough-love kind of guy. Too bad he can't hit.
  3. Tom, nobody knows what the horsefeathers you are talking about. But let's pretend we do for a minute. Recent history (the last 50 years) shows that teams out of contention trade MLB players for "the future". 1in 1984 The Cubs traded a young Joe Carter and Mel Hall for Rick Suttcliffe (just one example). It's something teams do regularly. Now you can argue with the new playoff system many teams will not be looking to sell much or buy much. Or that too many teams are in contention that the market will be frozen. But that's a different argument. You can also argue that the Cubs don't have much to sell that will bring back anything thing of value for the "future". But that's a different argument too. So, it may not be a binary outcome (your strawman), but let's not pretend that we live in a world that doesn't have teams selling off veterans for the future.
  4. Wyatt Langford hit for the cycle. The 2023 draft may be a special one.
  5. This thread is a spicy meatball. They all care more than we do. Many of them are not good enough to get the job done.
  6. If there one player in baseball I do not like it’s Yellich. Happ making the poster play for the 2024 Cubs
  7. I don’t remember Paralta having such an awful windup
  8. Kyle looks good enough to pull on a 10-15 organization prospect by the trade deadline
  9. I think Counsell knows what the talent level is on this team so why get pissed.
  10. I can see it coming like a slow motion traffic accident
  11. They are a bad team and there does not appear to be any accountability in the organization.
  12. This is Jed talking his way out of getting fired and not a shot at you.
