  1. Lorenzen signed with KC for $7M, vesting option for $12M 2nd year. Quality pick up the Cubs rarely do.
  2. Not related to anything in this thread for now. But the Dan Campbell rah, rah, horsefeathers is going to get old quickly. He'll be out of the league in five years.
  3. They have to fire Poles (if they are going to do it) before they do a coaching search, so if it isn't today, it will likely not happen.
  4. Because you said nothing in a lot of words.
  5. What are Poles’ odds?
  6. I’m in barring doctor’s report. He’s no good on IR.
  7. Poles: “and that’s why we have to draft a safety in the first round.”
  8. Honestly, I'd like to see them save it and make a strong play for a Tucker extension.
  9. What has Poles done to develop trust in the organization? I mean, seriously? If they want Johnson but it's some package deal. Take Johnson and wish Poles the best on his next opportunity.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. OSU is a weird team.
  13. That Bellinger money is burning a hole in Jed's pocket, lol.
  14. They should be called the Chicago LOLBears
  15. Even not trying, the Packers will win.
  16. 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.
  17. Its amazing what a guy can do when he has time to pass
  18. Tom’s burner account.
  19. He’s out of options so it’s make the team out of ST or bust.
  20. Old pal Mitch in for the Bills.
  21. 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.
  22. He was DFA so I’d say no.
  23. 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.
  24. If Jacksonville is more desirable than Chicago it is a symptom of the rot at Halas Hall. A rudderless ship.
