One wonders how much money is enough? I suppose if you divide $30M -$50M in annual profit five ways it doesn't seem like a lot of money per kid. Then again, all they are doing is sitting on their asses and collecting coin.
If they trade Belli it will probably be paying down his contract to get someone of value. So it will be Blli + money. They aren't going to save his entire salary and get anyone who can help the MLB team.
You must be a glutton for punishment to have a rosy picture of the Cubs' offseason plans. Like what do you think they are going to do to make a 90-win team be the floor? Or are you wishing on a star?
You do this all the time. Who is writing off the offseason? We can go round and round but all reports indicate they are not shopping on the top shelf for anything either via trade or free agency (not a lot on the top shelf there anyway). This is the lament vs whining argument.
Among the panoply of mediocrity that defines Jed Hoyer's time as the CBO of the Cubs this move doesn't even register a shrug.
Goony is exactly correct. Jed will run an 80ish win team with room for a trade deadline deal if things break well for the Cubs. That's what he does and who he is.
I love baseball. I love baseball on the “radio” . But I really love Pat and Ron. I know some people don’t care for Ron, but I think he’s fine and his grammar has improved.
