And health. I have my doubts that Chatwood makes it through this contract relatively unscathed. As old as he is though, Lackey is bound to start losing teeth, and without all of 'em, he's nothing.

David just scooting on past a chance to pile on derwood

without being able to strike anybody out and with a lot of walks? I doubt it.

But the Dodgers do it with 10 guys at a time and spend $250 on payroll. The Cubs don't have a 10 man rotation and don't look to be building one either. They actually need their starting pitching to start lots of games and pitch lots of inning.
-
it's weird to me that people can't see the argument for this signing being puzzling, or not all that intriguing.
-
It's not a terrible take. Their rock and a hard place status with regards to signing a free agent pitcher is driving this as much as anything else.
-
this very thing led to an open revolt on my high school team, as the head coach preached extreme swing techniques designed to make a lot of contact on the ground. We hated him long before people really realized the power of power.

It's not just Stanton, but Price, Heyward, Ohtani (not that the Cards showed a ton of interest in Ohtani, but he did eliminate them right off the bat), etc. The reputation of STL as a "baseball heaven" where virtually all players would like to be has taken a pretty sound thrashing over the past few seasons. The gripe among Cards fans was that DeWitt wouldn't spend the money. Now it appears players don't want it even when it is offered. Well, certain players don't want to play there, while other, more wholesome types still probably do.

why would they do that? They suck balls and have no money. They'd be much better off ripping off the bandaid and losing every game for two years to stock up on prospects and high draft picks and slowly start to build a real team. There's value in an expansion or newly moved team to actually try to win some games and garner support from the new fans, but Miami has been here for 3 decades now and they are what they are, an afterthought. Why spend $75m to win 70 when you can spend $30m to win 68?

The Marlins owners have no money and have made it clear they are going to get rid of all costly players.

no, it's more of a desperate plea https://deadspin.com/the-nfl-s-quarterback-middle-class-is-dying-1820880389 Magary had him on the list with an asterisk for week 1, and that asterisk came and went during the first few weeks of the season.

But isn't any "win this year" mindset in FA actually when you use FA to round out your roster with good but not terribly expensive players? Yeah, my gut is similar. I almost feel like it would be best to offer Pace a 2-year extension, so he can go into this head coach hiring season with all targets having full confidence that the Bears are in on this guy and system. And that is crazy to think about with how bad his three teams have been. But this is largely why I hate all those "trading up and drafting a QB was such a bold move" story, when that happened in 2017, and virtually guaranteed Pace would get at least 2 full seasons, if not 3-4, to judge that QB.
-
I’d disagree. The Bears have some young talent. They need more and better coaching They have some young talent, but not much, and virtually zero high end blue chip talent. People keep talking about how Ryan Pace should ultimately be judged on Trubisky, but that doesn't tell the whole story. Mitch could develop into a quality QB but this team could still struggle to win if Pace doesn't do a much better job of filling the entire roster.

Shohei Ohtani Signs with the Angels

the odds that everybody knows and nobody is leaking are extremely low. the extremely low cost of Ohtani also means he's not really holding everything up

Week 13: Jimmy Garoppolo's 49ers @ John Fox's Bears Noon CBS
jersey cubs fan replied to r_mack's topic in Other Sports
this is something that's bothering me about Trubisky and how the Bears are using him. The "first do no harm" approach to playing quarterback is not conducive to longterm success. You have to be willing to take chances. -

Shohei Ohtani Signs with the Angels
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Funny that a NY Post writer talking about how a guy wasn't a fit for NY cited the oddity of him not even having a driver's license, when a very large portion of NY residents don't have a license either. -
because fox is still attempting to prioritize not losing (poorly) over player development, for one. He hasn’t put Glennon back in I'd rather he did, before he ruins Trubisky any further.
