    Lot of ifs coming up, so warning If he signs with LA or the Blue Jays, and if it's true that Counsell never got a chat, that is very bad. I mean, he could have just decided he wasn't interested in the Cubs, which is fine. But the bad part is the Cubs pretending they were in it. There is no shame in saying, we gave our best and he was really set on other suiters and we are moving on to other opportunities.

    first pick seems like a perfectly descriptive way to talk about the first pick. But I guess that's not what the cool kids say. It's like Mike, Wil and Sam when someone is talking about a linebacker.

    It was always a long shot and it still is. Nothing has changed. I think Jed was pissed that the wrong story got leaked. It's an easy narrative to write because that has been their stated MO and there is ample evidence to support it. However, maybe not with Ohtani. Who knows? Ohtani has all the power and I love it, a win for labor.

    10 years 50M/year is the start? ok we will do 6 years 30M/year. No we said 10 for 50 a year. ok so we will do 6 for 30 a year. Thanks, Jed it was wonderful talking with you.

    Jed check phone every 28 seconds for the next five days

    I actually think they liked Dansby the best. They like his "leadership".

    over the life of the contracts, I'd rather have either of the other two.

    I can't wait for the autopsy.

    The Cubs have stars in the making, we have to hope they hit on more than one. Morel, PCA, Horton, Canario, and maybe Shaw (he needs to continue to destroy the baseball next spring and summer). Plus if Alcantara gets to his 80th percentile. That's a lot of good young talent. This is what Tommy Boy and Jed have been after. I'd love to get Ohtani, but more than that, I'd love the young Cubs to develop.

    I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd. This thread is like Trealawney's tea leaves class. Nothing wrong with it though. I'm not gonna deny anyone's right to speculate. It's fun.

    Ryan Klesco signed to play in SD so he could spend most of his time surfing.

    If I were a young multi-millionaire athlete there is no place I'd rather spend most of my time than southern California. Hell, if I were an old rich guy, same thing. The only part that I would have a hard time with is traffic.

    Firmly in this camp. Apparently, they said no leaks, so there have been no leaks. How is it that leaks are coming from SF and Toronto? I don't get it. I think the chances he signs with the Cubs are relatively low and have always thought that.
  15. CubinNY
    and what is a plodder on defenes?
  16. CubinNY
    I’m not hedging and I don’t want to sound like sour grapes. If the get him, great. If the don’t that’s ok too. I want holes filled with the best available. SP, LHH power, power in general, leverage relief. go get them.
  17. CubinNY
    lol, Tom will still find a way to say the market held him down because he’s from Japan
  18. CubinNY
    It’s a good excuse though.
  19. CubinNY
    You are grossly misstating anything I may have written about Young. But that is the way it goes. I still think it's too early to write epitaphs. Who would you have bet with?
  20. CubinNY
    Totally agree. The dollars are probably all similar, but there are likely so many different offers to go over. Someone else mentioned, that teams may have multiple offers depending. Like a high AAV contract with multiple opt-outs and club options or less AAV longer years with escalator clauses for pitching milestones in addition to opt-out and club options. Its probably like going to a greek diner only instead of food its all money.
  21. CubinNY
    I don't see any way they are getting around it.
  22. CubinNY
    You will care, sorry. A national audience is not going to appointment watch a 9-3 LSU play an 8-4 Clemsnon. Or a rematch of USC vs ND that occurred three weeks prior.
  23. CubinNY
    I don't know what point you are trying to make here. I already stated they will make a lot of money. The interest in the games on TV will be about the same as it is for a weekly NCAA slate of games. No one is going to be excited to see a bunch of 2nd tier teams play to see who gets the right to get beat by one of the top four or five teams. The injury thing doesn't go away, but the NIL stuff could take care of that. If some of these guys are going to get obscene money to stay in "school" for another year, that is a good thing. lol, I envision a future where UM plays the Chicago Bears in first-round relegation play to see who gets into the Champions league.
  24. CubinNY
    please. A fouth seeded SEC Auburn playing a thrid seeded Big10 Iowa. Who cares?
  25. CubinNY
    lol.
