    It doesn't have to be Bryant, but I agree with the sentiment that the FO are going to have to move someone key, because simply coming back with basically the same team that's been delivering diminishing results on the back of a decidedly unpalatable combination of expecting raw talent to overcome dumb baseball is....not good. Guys like Russell, Happy, Bote, Caratini, Heyward and Almora are going to get you a whole lot of jack and horsefeathers. This FO is supposed to be some kind of brain trust, and they've backed themselves into the position where they need to get creative and actually finally live up to that rep again.

    lol, wut? Unless I missed someone, anyone talking about Bryant and the Indians have been talking about moving the return from trading Bryant elsewhere to the Indians.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Nobody was suggesting trading Bryant to the Indians. And the Indians have all but flat out said they're not going to pay big money to extend their current core.

    It is a pretty big jump to essentially assume that's what he is going forward. 4-5 fWAR player would be, IMO, a safer bet.

    Nothing the Cubs do will win THIS idiot.

    How can anyone here think the org is going to make any kind of real effort to sign him when he becomes a FA? You have to be REALLY confident in the idea that the Cubs' current window isn't already just held open a very rickety popsicle stick to be basically endorsing that the Cubs hold on to him for 2 years and then only settle for a comp pick (I think?) when he leaves. Plus we're talking about fantasy ideas of using the return for Bryant to turn around and get someone like Lindor, and not just shipping him off for another damn tank-rebuild.

    Yeah, I had my earlier "Trade Rizzo for a couple of baller prospects, and then flip those baller prospects plus whatever is needed in house to get Lindor" idea, but Bryant makes that much more likely to pull off. Lindor is both infinitely more awesome, and it seems like it would be a much easier to sell extensions to him and Baez. Let Bryant take his squints so damn much he looks like he's on the verge of tears in nearly every AB-face somewhere else.

    I am more than cool with it. Beyond my meatball-y dislike of how lame he is, I think he's the perfect storm of how there's essentially zero chance he'll look to re-sign ahead of time, and he's currently playing for an organization that has zero organization in spending what it would cost to keep him (which, IMO, will be too damn much for whoever signs him since I think his nebulous shoulder issues will have him planted in the MLB equivalent of the not quite max deal guys who get max deals just by default). TRADE AWAY, BABY.

    She's actually saying "Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."

    It's gotta be something to do with how they're weighing value in this dong-heavy environment, right?

    It's beyond absurd how long Heyward has been getting the most PA per game of anyone on the team. Here's his August line going in to tonight: .192 .322 .384 .705 And July wasn't much better. They kicked him top when he had already been struggling for weeks, and it's just gotten worse.

    Darvish is a pretty cool dude.

    Holy horsefeathers, a Rajai Davis sighting.

    Rizzo still dead: [tweet] [/tweet]

    You're insane.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Jesus, college football is an even worse nightmare than the real thing.

    This is the horsefeathering Chad-iest privilege ever. horsefeathers this horsefeathers, for real.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    There is zero chance this cornball lasts more than 2 years in the NFL.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, Rizzo, yells and swears all the time, too. This flat-out sounded like Almora is actually a bunch of Muppet birds wearing a human suit.

    Of course some Great White Hope long shot headcase QB that people are willing to make a million excuses for is horsefeathering named "Chad." OF COURSE. Though good on Google to make this first suggested image on the main (non-image) search result page: Yeah, good horsefeathering luck pining for this guy to do anything but die early after he falls out of the back of a moving pickup truck.

    Man, I wish I could find a clip of the hilarious anguished wail he unleashed earlier this season when he (shocker) weakly popped out in a key RBI situation. He sounded like such a dork.
