    My favorite Bum quote was that he was "mentally ready" to have kids

    Wick still sucks.

    I'm already tired of the MLB.tv commercial break stuff.

    It's a little bit reflexive, but I basically agree. His team has to mostly nail every decision this offseason. They cannot afford any mistakes and they haven't earned any leeway.

    Your first task is to find out whoever voted for NSB and ban him/her (but not likely a her).

    huh, you found a swear word that doesn't translate to horsefeathers. I probably spelled so freaking badly it didn't know what to do.

    Tim can now get that house in Malibu that he's had his eye on with all the money he's going to make on NSB(B). Thanks for keeping this together, Tim. I think this board means a lot more to some of us than we let on. It's my one place to talk to anonymous people that I don't really know, but think I do. I really like this place, [expletive] and all.

    Extremely hot take: I really like Mervis’s approach at the plate. Two walks today already, not chasing, looking for his pitches. I think he’s going to the starter before the end of the season.

    San Diego has a metro population that is 400k less than Minneapolis and roughly on par with Tampa Bay. This doesn't give small market teams complaining that they can't afford a competitive payroll much credibility. In other news the Padres will owe approximately $122m to 5 players in 2026: 39 year old Yu Darvish, 33 year old Manny Machado, 33 year old Xander Bogaerts, 33 year old Joe Musgrove and 27 year old Fernando Tatis Jr. They are paying Bogaerts until 2033 (age 40), Machado until 2034 (age 41), Tatis until 2034 (age 35) and Darvish until 2028 (age 41). Some fascinating stuff. Yes, the demographics of the cities are a little different, but this lays bare the lie that small market teams cannot afford to spend on talent. They don’t need to have the third highest payroll, but the differences between them and the handful of big market teams should not be so large.

    Machado basically got paid for his opt out and signed a huge contract. I hope the Cubs target Matt Chapman next offseason.

    Not good for Morel to get beat on fastballs middle-middle, in both ABs. I’m rooting for him, but that’s not going to work.

    Yeah, I think I really like the improved pace of play as a TV viewer, but I'm not sure what it will do to the "day at the ballpark" experience. Especially with kids and running back and forth to the bathroom and concessions, the game could go by really fast.Last year I went to a few minor league games and it was noticeable. The between innings was the most notable thing at the games. The games flew by.

    Gonna have to drink fast at the old ball park to get a buzz on this year

    Excited to see Davis today!
  16. CubinNY
    Lol, they could turn around and trade down again, and get almost half an All American team in this year’s draft.
  17. CubinNY
    First game is tomorrow. Will MLB.TV have it?
  18. CubinNY
    I'm really stretching here, but if they like multiple QBs equally, they could possibly trade down to 3 and get an extra pick or two and trade Fields for picks/players. I think they are more or less tied to Fields now and won't even think about trading him. However, I must say after reading his college scouting report at the time of his draft, he still has the same issues he had when they drafted him. That does not bode well for his future unless the Bears have some quality coaching to get him to where he needs to be. They really flubbed by not getting rid of the former GM/coach before his draft.
  19. CubinNY
    They potentially have a good deal of money coming off the books after this season so they may not need to reset while spending for top of the market talent either through trades of FA. But they rarely ever want to play in the deep end of the pool. The thing that stood out to me was the comment about committing to long term contracts. I don’t agree with his logic but that’s a dead horse not worth beating.
  20. CubinNY
    On a scale of 1-10 how crazy would it be for the Bears to trade fields to a team like the Raiders and use the #1 pick for a QB?
  21. CubinNY
    Brett summed up my feelings about Willy very nicely
  22. CubinNY
    Rios and Wisdom forming a nice platoon means Ricketts can avoid spending money on Machado next year. It has to work, though. I’d say Madrigal chances of making the big club out of STare pretty slim right now. But what do I know? It should be a very interesting six weeks. I was very skeptical this offseason, but I kind of love how the Cubs are building a very solid roster to compete this year.
