    If I have to choose between Alcantara and Caissie, the choice isn't particularly difficult and it's not Caissie who may not be able to play an OF position at all. But with the DH and whatnot, It's a lot easier to fit both on the team. Kevin can spell PCA on tough lefties and/or play all three OF positions (not at the same time).

    I thought he signed a three year contract in 23. That would make 23, 24,, 25?

    They can do a lot worse.

    When Jed talks about clean books, he’s tangentially talking about Alcantara, OWNKC, and PCA. Happ is on the last year of his contract and they already explored trading Suzuki. I’d like to see them extend Tucker, but I think we al know that’s going to be a challenge. So, if all goes well and they can’t retain Tucker there is room for all three of them. All never seems to go well though.

    Dodgers looking to go 162-0.

    lol in the article it quoted someone from the NFL who said “anytime you have power in the hands of the few you have a problem”. I suppose they don’t mind that in general society

    I wish I was a Dodgers fan

    I looked at a picture of the uniform on The Athletic and they look so cheaply made.

    I wonder if Jed believes that or if he knows he's carrying water for Tommy Boy

    I like them, but I don't know if I like them with the white pinstripe bottoms.

    Hope wasn’t a 10th round talent so we can stop there. The Cubs needed a 1st baseman in the worst way and they paid a premium price. It’s what good teams like the Dodgers do to the smartest guys in the room running less successful organizations.

    no sale.

    Loved Bob. I'd switch over the radio broadcasts when he was on the MLB app for Cubs games and listen to an inning or two.

    I read in the Athletic that Flaherty is willing to accept a shorter term contract with opt-out. If I'm Jed I'd get him signed. It makes too much sense.
  15. CubinNY
    Maybe they can get Hope back
  16. CubinNY
    I think Sanders is going there with his son.
  17. CubinNY
    No. This is winter season silliness.
  18. CubinNY
    Well that’s fun in an MLB the Show way.
  19. CubinNY
    Same for me. So little respect for labor.
  20. CubinNY
    BP has gone downhill, but Hope at 8, if it's real, they fleeced the Cubs.

    About the Arbitration Process: Ben Brown and Porter Hodge: There is also some stuff about Tucker and Sammy in the article as well... If Brown can come out and throw strikes consistently he could be a real breakout TOR pitcher. link https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6059974/2025/01/14/cubs-justin-steele-kyle-tucker-interview/

    I mean, going to war over $2.5 million with Tucker is what the Pirates do.
  23. CubinNY
    lol. I wasn't complaining about Ian Happ. I was noting their draft philosophy and how it has produced good not great players, like Ian Happ, which is not necessarily a bad thing. AS I SAID IN THE FLIPPING POST. Same with Dnasby. What they don't or won't do is supplement the good with buying the great. Now they've traded for a great player and all indications are he's one and done and they've paid the price of a potential hit on a great player they just drafted. If they extend Tucker, cudos and mea culupa.
  24. CubinNY
    I expect Jed is working on a trade or two, but I don't think think they will spend all the money, but maybe most of it.
  25. CubinNY
    Unless you think Happ and Swanson are star players. Then we have a difference of opinion.
