I saw a story on the Rockies moving Bryant to 1st. Sorry, not about the Cubs, but interesting nonetheless.
-
Take it on the run, baby!
-
It's best to think of them not as accurate or even likely but in the ballpark. The problem (if you can call it that) is that people like us and even actually some of us treat them like gospel, which they are not. From a rough perspective, they present a reasonable approximation of what could happen, but no one is going to get rich using them to bet on a player-by-player basis.
-
If the Bears come out of the gate and win two in a row they will forget who Fields was.
-
Could be a good thing, but also too many cooks. I don't know enough about the complications of NFL offense, but the game is simple, regardless of how it is dressed up.
-
I think he's as much a DFA candidate as he is a potential starter.
-
It's not that easy. It's as much a logistics problem as it is anything else. If they pay a multi-year salary for a guy who is declining and give him a NTC, he's set in concrete. Even if they don't give him a NTC, his salary may be unmovable. Then they have an old team that is not improvable.

The Carlye Group is buying the Orioles for real. Private Equity taking a bite out of the MLB.
-
How do you know how worse of a QB he thinks Fields is? Replaceable is the bottom bin, the rest is a different flavor of suck that you want to argue about. That's where Fields resides.
-
Luis Vazques, Christian Franklin, Yohenderic Pinango, Brennen Davis (who I have not given up on), and a bunch of young promising pitchers who will be knocking on the door a year from now. Edit: I forgot Pablo Alliendo

Petition to forever change the name to Dick Lovelady because, giggles.

Jed and his team believe they are on the precipice of a truly great team fueled by young players and a state-of-the-art development program. They are patiently building what they think to be a solid team that will compete within the division with aspirations for more soon (could be this year). I get frustrated too, as a fan. I hope they are right. And if they are not, I hope the Ricketts sacks the lot of them. I don't think that will happen as the people running the Cubs are philosophically aligned with ownership. We have to wait and see what happens.
-
lose out? I don't know that he was actually a target.
-
Any scenario where Fields is still on the team is a bad scenario if they want to win games next year.
-
I agree. I was never that hot for Bellinger given that they cannot move Happ or Suzuki over the next three years. Chapman does not make the offense better and might make it worse if he and Swanson go cold at the same time. Besides they are apparently asking for difference maker type money for a guy who isn't really that.
-
According to BN the Cubs may have signed a Blake Weiman LHP (any relation to Bert Weiman?) to a minor league deal.
-
A good foundation to make a huge bet.
-
I think that is a dangerous bet that I wouldn't want to make if I were Poles. The talent distribution is too thin. At some point, they need to start winning more than losing. They can do that next year if Willams is the QB he is supposed to be.
-
I think it comes down to which player(s) come down from their salary demands first and foremost. And even then Jed may not like what he reads/sees. Maybe if they can get a discount in years with a high yearly salary or something.
-
I'd rather not have to root for Turner under any circumstances.
-
There was an article in the Athletic that mentioned it. The key word is formal offer
-
Similar stance and swing. The way they run. The joy with which they play. Obviously Clemente was a world class outfielder and all time great. I’m just talking about their stance and swing and personality.
-
I was watching some Roberto Clemente highlights today. I think that’s who Morel reminds me of at the pate.

2024 International Signings
CubinNY replied to Irrelevant Dude's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Big fake birth certificate scale in the DR. There was apparently one kid who was supposed to be 12 and was really 18 or something crazy like that. -
Stop trying to trade Morel.
