my bad.
-
two 24 year olds in AA. Neely might be in AAA. Seems kind of light to me.
-
I blocked him, but can you translate what that is supposed to mean? I'm weirdly interested in whatever point he is trying to make.
-
Pretty quiet on the last day of trading.
-
2nd base is easier to fill than catcher. The reasons to trade Nico are the same reasons you want to keep him, if that helps explain the reasoning. Nico for Teel!!
-
I don't dislike the WS. I don't think much about them at all. I think it's more fun when Chicago has good teams. They are awful and have incompetent people running the organization. I wish this were the case for the Cardinals and Brewers. The WS and Cubs are more alike than we want to admit.

Cubs (Steele) vs Reds (TBD): 7/30/24, 6:10pm
CubinNY replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Will Paredes play tonight? -
If Paredes loved the short lines in left, think about how Morel would feel about them. I think this was a good trade for the Cubs that they had to make. I love that Jed didn't wait until the offseason to fill the hole when a good alternative was available. I will miss Morel. I watched him play outfield a lot in the minors. He is not an OF. He's not a good defensive 3B. Hopefully, he finds a spot and gets comfortable. The Athletic article about Morel that Shama wrote almost brought tears. He seems like a genuinely good person. They appear to be rare in sports.
-
The team that won that trade by far is the Dodgers.
-
Well that got out hand quickly.
-
Back to sloppy ball
-
Maybe a few years ago. Now it's a stash of injury filler and hangers on. Guys who are prospects don't stay in AAA for long.
-
The Dodgers got significantly better in one trade.
-
Even if you don’t focus on the pull side power, Paredes does not have the slugging potential of Morel. At the current time and likely into the future he is the more complete baseball player. But he’s not what people hoped Morel would become. That would be Manny Machado minus the personality.
-
All coming from West coast sources connected (?) to the Dodgers.
-
Here’s the thing about expected HRs. its nonsense. You cannot take the behavior out of the context in which it occurred. Now, you can say all his power is pull side. That’s ok and maybe true. But it means 0 about what he will do in a Cubs uniform moving forward. The End.
-
According to a report I read on Threads Cubs are actively shopping Bellinger.
-
I agree with this. I don’t think this makes Nico more likely to get traded. I think Jed jumped the off-season trade market and has his infield set for next year. They still need to find some slugging though. Now especially.
-
PCA starting to heat up a bit.
-
Got a guy to play 3rd now. Sorry to see Morel go but they had to do something. Keep the seat warm for Shaw.
-
The Ricketts netted @$56M last year. @$10M/kid. And that’s just the Cubs you can probably add another couple million on the ancillary properties around Wrigley. They will make that or more again this year. Even with the biblical losses (that were greatly offset by tax benefits for years to come) the kid have made $100M each over the last decade and change. But we fans get excited when they go dumpster diving in trades and hope against hope that they are “in” on the next big name FA.
-
Have you looked at his stats in 100+ major league innings over the last four years? The fact that he was once thought to be a prospect is irrelevant at this point. He’s been worth -1 win in four years with an ERA above 5 and a WHIP above 1.5. It’s at best at swap of guys who were not going to be with organization minus Riviera who can’t hit. I don’t get the liking of the trade. It’s an exchange of fringe talent.
-
There is not clear upside.
-
Who said stop talking about. Talk away!
-
Yes he’s Jake
