    They seem to be taking this seriously and weighing all the options. If we get some rando saying they saw him at Starbucks in Wrigleyville we know this is serious.

    I don't think the Cubs are going to go after Max. Jed likes value and Max doesn't offer that. I could see him doing a Clemens and signing with some team around July.

    OSU is a weird team.
  4. CubinNY
    That Bellinger money is burning a hole in Jed's pocket, lol.
  5. CubinNY
    They should be called the Chicago LOLBears
  6. CubinNY
    Even not trying, the Packers will win.

    No. They are running a strategy that says 1) the luxury tax is enough money and 2) sustainable winners are built by the farm system. Jed has bet that his “type” of player (mold made by Ian Happ) is going to win. So far he’s been mostly wrong. The Ricketts and Jed are simpatico on long term contracts. They don’t like paying for past production and diminishing skills. At least that’s my read. The Ricketts family are the worst sorts of people any way you want to look at them. But they have a plan and Jed is running the team accordingly. It also happens to be a plan that makes them oodles of money.

    Its amazing what a guy can do when he has time to pass
  9. CubinNY
    Tom’s burner account.
  10. CubinNY
    He’s out of options so it’s make the team out of ST or bust.
  11. CubinNY
    Old pal Mitch in for the Bills.
  12. CubinNY
    Sympathetic to the sentiment but hard to understand the logic between the Cubs act like a mid market team and the reason is they are ready to sell. They have mediocre people who love mediocre players. It works to turn one helluva a profit.
  13. CubinNY
    He was DFA so I’d say no.

    2021 was the third rated 2nd base prospect behind Nicky and ahead of Busch. Sounds like filler now or insurance depending on one’s proclivities.

    If Jacksonville is more desirable than Chicago it is a symptom of the rot at Halas Hall. A rudderless ship.

    They are heavily invested in real estate around the park and have transformed the neighborhood. They are not selling the Cubs. Wrigleyville is a money factory.

    This is what a winner looks like. 1. Shohei Ohtani, DH 2. Mookie Betts, SS 3. Freddie Freeman, 1B 4. Teoscar Hernández, RF 5. Max Muncy, 3B 6. Will Smith, C 7. Michael Conforto, LF 8. Tommy Edman, CF 9. Gavin Lux, 2B

    Ok, 5-10 M isn’t going make or break the Cubs. And more to the point, winning is what matters. So saying some horsefeathers about Montgomery at 15 million vs Montgomery at 20 million is nonsense. If Jed thinks his performance is better than Assad or Wicks or JaMo then he should see what the cost is in terms of players. The money is irrelevant b/c it doesn’t matter.

    I went on tankathon.com and the bears are currently in the 7 spot. They should be in a good position to get at least three starters in the draft. There is no reason they can’t be competitive next season.
  21. CubinNY
    What does it matter how much they are paying him? if he’s posting a 2 ERA or whatever else elite metric you want the Cubs will be winning. If he sucks they will be losing. There isn’t a lot of good pitching on the market or available. im not saying I want the cubs to trade for him, but the money doesn’t matter
  22. CubinNY
    I mean would it be better if he had an ERA of 4 if the Cubs were only paying him 10 million dollars?
  23. CubinNY
    Who the horsefeathers cares about how much money he is making? What difference does 5 million dollars make to the Cubs roster plans? How much he’s paid has little to do with his performance. The name of the game is winning.
  24. CubinNY
    Montgomery is a good bounce-back candidate. He signed late, got pissed, etc. But I don't think he's what the Cubs are looking for although he is left handed.
  25. CubinNY
    Yes. They sold some amount to the guy who owns the South Bend team and a few others. If the media calls that "private equity, " they need to look up the term. I thought it was before 2020.
