    I don't think we will have anything to worry about. According to Bob Nightengale, the Padres are aggressively trying to sign him to a contract extension. But if they cannot the Cubs are not going to meet the demands of the Padres. They will have discussions and then if he's traded (big if), it will be to some other team. I don't think he's a good match for this team or the owner's philosophy of how he wants to build a team. He doesn't have a position because they chose to extend Ian Happ and give him a no-trade rider. I'm not saying this is a Cubs PR stunt, but if the Cubs were going to have a PR stunt it would look similar to this.

    Cousins tore his Achilles. Could be the Bears and Packers with competition for the bottom.

    Can’t tackle.
  4. CubinNY
    lol.

    The Stroman opt-out is a key piece here. I think they are planning on either side of that eventuality. I don't think there is a path to trade Stro should he opt-in unless they are paying the bulk of his salary, so what's the point? Without Stro - I think they need at least one top-of-the-rotation pitcher and I'm hoping it's Yamomoto. Then they can go after Soto with Morel ++. I would not target Soto if I were the Cubs, but that's me. With Stro- things are a little tougher at least for this year. I have no idea how they will approach the offseason, but they still have the same needs.

    lol, he very nearly blew the WS with his pen usage. If the Cubs had lost that WS he would have been reviled. He choked his way to a championship. Thank goodness for the rain delay. Then the Universe broke, so...

    Who is the new dude bro who appears to be ubiquitous on ESPN? Where did he come from?
  8. CubinNY
    Yes, he should be target #1 this offseason. No one should be able to outbid the Cubs. After they lock him in see what they have left for other moves.
  9. CubinNY
    He's going to play himself into the Cubs getting a great player in a trade. I think he's awesome and it makes Shaw or him very valuable as a trade target.

    The cover up.

    It's the conspiracy and organization of the "crime" that makes it much worse than any advantage that Michigan may have gained. This is a highly coordinated attempt to gain a competitive advantage. But now this is also a process crime as well. And that makes it even worse.

    The Mets are talking to Kantrovitz.
  13. CubinNY
    I agree with Goony. Most QBs don't come into the league and are finished products. The ones that succeed are brought into an environment where they can succeed. Starting NFL QB is not an immutable trait.
  14. CubinNY
    easy power.

    It's going to be like the Astros scandal in MLB. But it's nothing like the Astros scandal in MLB. Not even close.
  16. CubinNY
    tedious.

    It's math. Yamamoto, Soto, and Alonso are three people filling three positions. Ohtani is one player and a DH for next year and who knows if he will ever start again.
  18. CubinNY
    I don't think they need to do that. He's only under contract until 10.31.
  19. CubinNY
    I just don't think the Ricketts will want to commit one quarter of the way to the luxury tax for the next eight years for one player.
  20. CubinNY
    I think they will make a strong bid for Yammomato and probably also for Soto if he is put on the block by San Diego even though he doesn't really fit well on the team. Maybe also Alonso, although I have my doubts the Mets will want to trade him.
  21. CubinNY
    The Dodgers and the Mets are going to make a hard play for Ohtani. I don't see the Ricketts willing to play in that game.
  22. CubinNY
    I don't get it either, but apparantly there is some rule that says a team can't do that.
  23. CubinNY
    It's hard to define, but he's not a confident QB. He lost his mojo and he ain't getting it back. Confidence comes with success, but some guys have it even when they aren't successful. Like Javy Baez before he got traded. Or a better example in football might be Brett Farve.
  24. CubinNY
    it's the frequency, not the intensity of bad.
  25. CubinNY
    Whatever penalty they get will be deserved. If Harbaugh comes clean and gets in front of this, it's on a different path. So dumb.
