    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!
  10. CubinNY
    Yes he’s Jake
  11. CubinNY
    He’s a 27 year old who throws taters. It’s just the kind of move a small market team like the Cubs make who try to turn a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. It’s literally nothing. It’s a move where they cleared some flotsam out of their minor leagues for trash from someone else. They could have waited for the DFA.

    WS here we come! This is like buffing out a scratch on a 2003 civic.

    Not Cubs related, but a Braves “prospect” Fransisco Vicioso has a stat line of 3IP 0-3 ERA of 66.00 with 26 walks and 6 Ks. He’s hit 4 batters and has 35 WP. Also he’s made three errors.
  14. CubinNY
    I hate to say I don’t think he’s Farve or Rodgers level, but he’s pretty pretty pretty good.

    Jed will get hired back in Boston as soon as he gets fired. He does some things well. This result is not intended but is baked into the design as a possible outcome. Jed ant Tommy Boy value similar qualities and are motivated by value, which is not necessarily a bad thing. But if it’s the primary factor things can go sideways.

    Lousy team
  17. CubinNY
    So are the hitters
  18. CubinNY
    Love the MLB app. I can listen to Pat and Ron
  19. CubinNY
    How manny hits does Whit have this weekend?
  20. CubinNY
    Jed will not be all in on Soto.
  21. CubinNY
    I haven't been to a game since 2016 (Ross's 100th HR game). I won't be going to any for the foreseeable future. I love the Cubs, but I don't have to support the Ricketts directly so I won't do that.
  22. CubinNY
    Mo Baller is blowing up AAA. I think this is more evidence that the league is full of filler.
  23. CubinNY
    He doesn't have the players to set the market. And he's strategy of waiting until he gets the value he wants has worked out reasonably well for the Cubs. Overall, he should be fired (he won't be), but he seems to do well in this part of the job.
  24. CubinNY
    As it stands today, where does the class rank compared to 23 and 24? In the middle?
  25. CubinNY
    that's way too much for Teel.
