Only keyboard GMs care about surplus value. They can’t keep hovering around .500 and dealing multiple players for one year rentals and expect to win.
-
If they trade forTucker and use near ready mlb players they have to at least try to lock him up long term. Maybe not right away but before the season. it makes little sense to blow through top level prospects for a rental on a team in the Cubs competition cycle
-
If they are firm with that offer there won't be a trade. But really, it seems preposterous and not real.
-
The Yankees aren't going to engage with the Cubs because they are trying to get Tucker as well.
-
A buckeye is a poisonous nut.

There is a new draft every year. Did you know who Cam Smith was this time last year?
-
Wicks + Shaw + OWNKC
-
My hope is that the Cubs wouldn't give up what it takes to get hm without also getting a long-term deal done.

2025 MLB Draft Thread
CubinNY replied to Outshined_One's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Law said this year's prospects were down too, especially at the top of the draft. Time to find some value picks Jed and Co. -
I think they may be lining up the ducks. If we know anything about Jed it's that he's deliberate. I want the President/functioning GM to be bolder and take big swings at winning. Jed is far more measured. Given the boundaries he has to work under, it makes sense, but "goodenough" is not good enough most of the time.
-
Clearly Warren is not happy with the state of the organization. That should be a good thing. But I’m not sure what a President’s responsibility is when he’s also not the GM or whatever. But they cannot keep Poles around if they don’t trust him with personnel decisions.

Read what he wrote again.

Boooooooooooooo!
-
I would be so down for that Belli + Tucker + Suzuki, That is a killer outfield. PCA too. Or trade him.
-
why do you keep asking these inane questions? The answer is YES, YES, and YES. Do what you have to do. But don't do it if you aren't planning on signing him long-term. That's the conundrum.
-
off to ignore land you goi
-
They are still paying Bonilla. And they obviously can afford it. And so can the Cubs. Why do you care how much a player makes? Every person who earns a paycheck with their work and not by counting unearned income should applaud it.
-
You sound like the narrator of Ancient Aliens. The answer to all those questions is, yes.
-
Go to the front page section of the website. People are talking about him there. He's going to generate a pretty steep package of players. Some think they will want low cost established players + prospects.
-
This Tucker thread has me excited for the first time this offseason. I hope the Cubs are interested. He's exactly the player they should target and extend.

Tucker is perfect for the Cubs but not on a short contract. The biggest hurdle is Jed/Tom's unwillingness to cement money long term. It makes too much sense to get Tucker if he's gettable, but I think they need to extend him. I don't have a prospect that I wouldn't include.
-
Remember the Kent Merker is God meme on here? I think it was b/c he blasted Chip Carey in the media.
-
Did Jed end the interview by saying he has to leave to call his girlfriend in Canada?
-
I absolutely love that Jed and company thinks their ****** offense that will become a truck stop toilet after Taco Bell buy one get one free when they trade Bellinger and or Nico is enough to win if they can only find more journeymen relievers looking for short contracts.

God, I knew half a dozen like that between high school and college.
