Time for the annual thread. Who you like what are you betting? KC is 1.5 favorite. Gun to my head I’d take Philly. If they can establish the run they will win. I don’t know prop bets
-
If you ask the Padres, they’re being reasonable. If he gets traded there’s going to be tippy top prospects going back and more than one.

Let's talk about game threads!

I vote tree -
Surprised Tom hasn’t poked in with a Boras the boogie man post. Scott Boras is or should be a hero to everyone who earns a paycheck with their labor.

There aren’t many any sub 5-10 1B in MLB
-
They will likely have to trade someone due to the Scrooge McDuck family but why not wait until the end of spring training or better yet July?

First workout is today, Super Bowl Sunday. who is going to be in the best shape of their life: over in the minors forum Big Mo looks like he dropped 30 pounds. which pitcher is going to have some mystery injury right at the start of camp? It’s time to get excited March 18 is right around the corner.
-
lol, WTF? You have to think they are talking about bang for the buck, given their expected position by the end of the year. But that's loser talk, bank WAR now, and worry about sorting it out later.

Law has his top 20 Cubs list out in the Athletic Any idea what he's talking about with this quote:

I'm still betting on Houston, like Alanso, he should go back if the offer is still on the table.

What’s the penalty for going over? Is the contract voided? -
They may have to sell to pay the estate taxes.

Alex Cohen hired as full time backup PBP guy
CubinNY replied to Irrelevant Dude's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Might be cost cutting to let Boog’s contract expire -
always side with the players.

I'd also prefer not to trade anyone. Hold everyone until the season shakes out, and then see what you need. Don't be afraid to trade before 11:59 PM on 8/31.
-
It's the Sporting News so take it with a pinch, but there is speculation that instead of Nico the Cubs would put Suzuki on the block to trade. I think I like that better.
-
Yes, You can explain Bregman’s aggressiveness on an attempt to put up numbers that translate into dollars. Now I don’t know if he’d use the same approach this season too. But it’s understandable.
-
If they sign Bergman and trade Nico, it shows how much they believe in Shaw. I'd like them to keep Nico too, but I understand the limitations of the Ricketts budget.
-
Is Rizzo gonna get a contract?
-
One would think this has to come to a head pretty soon. I still think he goes back to Houston.
-
Not a great comp agreed, but he's sort of like Happ who came up as an infielder, and sort of like Nico in that he has bat-to-ball but not much in the way of power.

I don't know what the Cubs' plans are for Kilian or Brown, but before he got hurt, Kilian was dealing. He has the pitching repertoire to be a starter if he can throw strikes and has the potential to be a good one. I think Brown's repetitive movement neck injury thing or whatever makes him very unlikely to become a starter, but if he could... Needless to say, he also has the makings of a late inning guy, so if he is healthy, they have a pretty strong pen with all the other additions. I do tend to worry more about Shota and Steele taking a step back and putting more pressure on the pen. And I also worry about the brutal April and early May schedule taxing the pen until the ASB.
