Games Involving Former Cubs Megathread

I’d like to see how this is a playoff caliber lineup without a couple huge signings.

They’ve traded away everybody and stink. It’s a total and complete rebuild. okay pick apart my terminology but you knew exactly what I meant. it means we are probably going to attempt to be competitive faster than some thought. teams dont typically trade away their best asset for 2 major leaguers when they're doing total and complete rebuilds. not to mention they did keep hendricks and willson. I honestly have no idea why you think that. They traded away everybody and will stink next year. They got what they could get to field a team. How does one witness this trading deadline and think it’s just a retooling? They gutted the roster and have garbage left.

What in the Sam Hill? what? I'm saying it looks like they're going more for a couple down years than a full on tank and rebuild They’ve traded away everybody and stink. It’s a total and complete rebuild.

I’m an old man and my only advice is don’t care about these horsefeathers nuts

The cap is fake?

I can't speak for others, but for me this has not distracted from the sexual assault story at all. Neither did trading for Jones, Fleury or anything else. I possess the relatively common ability to focus on more than one thing at a time. I am not speaking about the individual's ability to hold two thoughts. I am speaking about the PR strategy of delay and deflect. They went a month with nothing but sexual assault stories and with all this sound and fury it's abound to take more of a back seat.

They got a 3rd, neat.

Elliotte Friedman claims a Zadorov deal with CAL is "being consumated"

Tampa is ecstatic about being able to offload this contract, which they've been trying to do for years. This should tell us all we need to know about Bowman's move. Stan has never been a savvy GM when it comes to handling salary cap issues and making the best of situations. He inherited an incredibly talented team and made some quality finishing touches, but this team has been going downhill for half a decade. The rebuild has gone just about nowhere, as 1 of the 2 potential impact young guys was just traded away after a middling start. They've given away the next few drafts. People defend this move by saying the guy they got "can be useful", but have we not learned that "useful" with a $5m cap hit is a huge burden on a team? At least on a team lacking in high end talent like this one. There's a lot of reason to believe that some of the motivation behind all these moves is to distract from the very huge story about sexual assault being swept under the rug while the victim was harassed by teammates after coming forward. When personnel moves are made with motives other than making the team better, whether that's salary cap dumps or for PR reasons, you are almost guaranteed to get taken advantage of by higher quality front offices. And it looks to me like that has happened here.

She said it's hard going in there and being the "head star" but yet she has goats printed into her leotards. Also pulling out of the all-around to focus on her mental health. but yet

Tampa’s second round pick, which is a Chicago 3rd.

When was the last time the Blackhawks acquired a veteran skater who performed? They got a little 30 year old. 30 is done in this league for non physical freaks. They can find 23 year old euro but I have no faith in them getting something out of somebody else’s cap albatross contract.

His cap hit is ~1.8m less than Seabrooks but his is actually real while Seabrooks doesn’t count. They made their cap situation worse. but tyler johnson isn't nothing. i think he could good. He’s old and was available for free.
-
His cap hit is ~1.8m less than Seabrooks but his is actually real while Seabrooks doesn’t count. They made their cap situation worse. How long is Johnson's contract? 3 more years, same as Seabrook. So unless he preretires as well they’ve just given away usable net cap space to a little old guy.
-
but they got actual cap space for it. isn't that better? the ltir stuff is very confusing to me. the problem would be that it had to be used on tyler johnson and a not-great contract. His cap hit is ~1.8m less than Seabrooks but his is actually real while Seabrooks doesn’t count. They made their cap situation worse.

I think they're looking to go down in a blaze of glory. One more season of trying. And then we might see a house cleaning of the front office as an excuse to erase the dirty parts of the past and move forward with fresh eyes.
-
well apparently they gave up nothing. and there are rumors he might retire anyway. $7m cap hit if he plays.
-
Marc Andre Fleury is now a blackhawk. This roster is going to be a who's who of those who used to be
-
I'm guessing the listed weight is...inaccurate. Anybody listed at 5'11" is at most 5'7"

Happ is also 26 and was really good last year. I'd let him get as many AB's as possible down the stretch to see if he can figure it out. I get it, but I have also never been convinced of Happ being anything more than a fourth outfielder. Happ is so much more than a 4th outfielder. He's a podcaster a coffee entrepreneur and art dealer too

It's been half a season. A half of a season in which the team has gotten worse over time and everybody is on the chopping block. I really don't think you can compare Len growing on you over time to your impression of Boog in on half season of a garbage team.

After qualifying Zadorov, the Hawks have pairings of: DeHaan - Jones the elder Zadorov - Murphy Jones the younger - Stillman Which leaves no room for Beaudin, Mitchell, Kalynuk, etc. I just don't understand what this organization is doing. I just don’t get the nuances of NHL roster management but this off-season feels like a late 90s MLB front office working in a 2010s MLB frontier.
