    I'm calling it, the Bears will win this game.

    The injury throws a wrinkle in the contingency. It's why I think it's less likely that Nico gets traded.
  3. CubinNY
    riiiiiight.
  4. CubinNY
    Why
  5. CubinNY
    It's a mess, Maybe this will be a thing moving forward, but if history is a guide it won't be like this every year. It's great that it's happening in the first year of the thing.

    Pederson is a platoon player, high side, but still have to replace LH.
  7. CubinNY
    You don't even know who he is.
  8. CubinNY
    He's 25.
  9. CubinNY
    I don't think any of the teams are going to consider last season an indication of his performance potential. The WS were one of the most dysfunctional organizations in the sport's history.
  10. CubinNY
    lol, ok
  11. CubinNY
    I guess Wicks would go into the trade with Shaw, Big Mo, and maybe Horton. The White Sox will be looking for a haul.
  12. CubinNY
    Not sure Theo is that different. Buuuuuuuttttt, I don't think he'd propose a golden at bat.

    A little fawning, but a good article on Brown and his history https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5964645/2024/12/03/bears-interim-coach-thomas-brown-matt-eberflus/

    Who is Joe Brady? I saw a blurb that says he's the odds-on favorite.
  15. CubinNY
    I think it depends on how much Toronto is over other bids and assurances they can get that winning is a sustainable process. If I'm at the top of the market, I want the money, but I want to know that the organization is interested in winning beyond whatever they are doing with me. I'd probably never sign with the Cubs, not that they would be interested in that type of game-changing potential.
  16. CubinNY
    Can they change his swing or are we looking at Nick Madrigal?
  17. CubinNY
    I'm not traveling down this road again. Saying someone is an X-WAR player is useful but not as useful as people think. THE END.
  18. CubinNY
    It's not any better because it obscures where the value comes from. It's far more descriptive to say where the value comes from than saying he's a 4 WAR player. Nobody knows what that means, even though everyone thinks they do. Edit: Also, there is a lot to be said about a league average 2nd baseman. He has a lot of value, but less so than one would expect in a trade scenario.
  19. CubinNY
    People throw WAR around like a nuclear missile when it is a firecracker. Nico is a league-average hitter (with no power) who plays good defense. I don't necessarily want to trade him, especially for pitching because it makes the offense that is middle to bad, worse. I don't know that there is a good fit for him related to trading. The Cubs need slugging. They will need it even more if they trade Bellinger which they seem intended to do.
  20. CubinNY
    then they will have to stop counting money long enough to look for a new one. I would not be one bit surprised if Jed already signed an extension that will be announced at the conventions.
  21. CubinNY
    The Ricketts will have to fire him first which will be hard to do as they count all the money they make.
  22. CubinNY
    very true. Not a lot to shop for and even less in the bargain isles.
  23. CubinNY
    You've got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, and don't go messing with mister in-between. The Cubs are dead stuck in concrete with mister in-between and paying a premium price to do it. Jed the value man is not getting the value he needs to move this team from mediocre to World Series contender.
  24. CubinNY
    7.5 times out of 10 it's going to end in an out. It's really stupid, but that's baseball. Maybe they'll let the pitching team get "do-overs" too.
  25. CubinNY
    So far, FA has been a banger for the Cubs. They signed a catcher who can't hit and was about to be waived and a pitcher whose arm may fall off at any given moment.
