I think he had a nagging injury and wasn't right for much of the season.
-
Especially since I'm asleep by half-time.
-
Who around here is ok with it? I think most people read and hear what the Cubs are likely to do and accept reality. They never change.
-
I bet the Ricketts paid upwards of $3,000 total for all that swag. Talk about splurging.
-
It depends on the definition. I suppose there can be more than one guy at the top of the market. But take the last offseason- although I love Shota, he was well down the list. It'd be nice if 1) he can repeat this coming year and 2) the Cubs do something like that again. I like Freid the most. That would probably qualify as top of the market.
-
It all depends on one's definition of aggressive. If he can find the right deal, I think he'll trade some high-end minor leaguers. He's probably going to sign a nine-figure pitcher. Will the players they get be at the top of the market? Doubtful.
-
I don't even think we will say we tried. However, I suspect that even with Boras, he's going to sign quickly with the Yankees and might not even make it to FA. Boras needs some wins.

Nico Hoerner underwent successful right flexor tendon surgery
CubinNY replied to KCCub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I see this as a great opportunity for Shaw to get "his feet wet". I doubt that Nico will be ready to go by April. The caveat is I don't know the Cubs depth chart. Maybe he's behind some other people. -
I saw a report that the QB from Texas is sitting out the rest of the season to focus on the draft? I don't know if it's true or not. If so, pretty crazy.
-
where did he play 2/3 of the time? Did the Cubs have two catchers on the roster? He wasn't a catching prospect.
-
Ditto. Plus the Dansby connection.
-
Keller in the hands of the Cubs development people may change those numbers a lot.
-
No. 438 innins to 595 innigs. But whatever, he spent no time in the minors for 'development'. They knew he wasn't a catcher.
-
Probably the fact that they didn't even try to see if Schwarber could catch. He spent about 1.3 full seasons in the minors and played OF more than catcher and not by a small percentagew. He was never a catcher in professional baseball in any real sense. It's not a "vibe".
-
There is no doubt he's a better catcher than Schwarber ever was.
-
He's already a better catcher than Schwaber ever was. He's not going to be a 1st baseman. I see no reason why the Cubs couldn't carry him as a primary DH and let him learn the position. But I also don't know where the deficiencies lie. He appears to have an adequate arm. I don't know about the rest of it. Give him another season in AAA, but if he's killing the ball, don't be afraid to bring him up.

Cubs Planning To Add Starting Pitcher In Offseason
CubinNY replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
They are never going to shoot for higher than pretty good. It's not their business model. -
Seeing Rodgers lose on a national stage week after week is like ice cream on a hot summer day.
-
Dodgers gonna wrap it up
-
Tommy F’n Edman driving in four runs tonight. lol
-
First of many injuries for that frame.
-
This should go in transactions. It has nothing to do with the Cubs. Mods clean up this horsefeathers.
-
Loved the throwback uniforms. They play some D.
-
You watch your filthy mouth.
