Yeah I don't see him fitting in now. He'll get a 2 year deal probably somewhere once Gallen and Framber are off the board.
-
I had kinda hoped they'd bring him back. What a waste of a move last year. He was hurt and bad and we gave up a good prospect for him. Should've given it another chance.

2025-2026 Offseason Top Prospects Lists
Post Count Padder replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
If he does well definitely him. Maybe Wiggins if he retains eligibility. -
lol we should come up with some kind of HOF for these exiled posters. We've had some all timers over the last 2 decades.
-
Yankees DFAd Marco Luciano, who they got recently from the Giants. Former top prospect and still 24. If he has options remaining, would be a nice get.
-
It has felt for a bit that we're waiting for Gallen to fall into our laps.
-
Yeah I want Alcantara to win the 4th OF spot but Carlson and McCormick are great buy low options as a fallback.
-
Hey I'll take a flyer on Carlson too. Some people saying that it's McCormick because a Carlson signing hasn't happened but that looks like Carlson with a beard.
-
oh good lord I remember that
-
This is a solid low-cost pickup. He was great in 2023 and I think dealt with an injury in 2025. At the very least gives us depth and another option as a backup OF.
-
Yeah that's fair. He's a bit away but comes with promise clearly. Yeremy Cabrera is the other prospect going to WSH. Some potential in this group but seems like they went for quantity.
-
So that would be like us giving up, what......Wicks, Rojas, Christian Hernandez and Cole Mathis? Plus whoever else. Think it really depends on what ceiling you have for Fien. Guess the Nats are enamored.
-
I cannot wait to see what the return is It was so breaking that jon used a semicolon instead of a colon
-
Feels like a heavy overpay on two Top 50 prospects for one year of Peralta. Good to have Peralta out of the division but you know Williams will be a leadoff hitter pest against us for years and Sproat will be Peralta all over.
-
Look up one post.
-
I was coming of age in the late 90s/early 2000s and so I loved David Kelton, Corey Patterson, Nic Jackson and Juan Cruz and thought all of them could be stars. Also came to really like Brendan Harris and Francis Beltran and Brian Dopirak and Bobby Brownlie. Not a single one panned out.

Mets acquire Luis Robert

-
Didn't think it would actually happen. White Sox definitely held on too long.
-
He's not a memorable Cub in a good way but Ryan Pressly retired and joined the Twins front office.

Chicago Cubs Willing To Pay Luxury Tax in 2026
Post Count Padder replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah if we get Gallen then I expect Taillon and/or Rea to be dealt. Gallen is definitely not a need now but that rotation would have some serious potential. -
Cubs, Giants Discussing Nico Hoerner Trade
Post Count Padder replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Even then, he seems like more of Tyler Austin competition or a safeguard against Ballesteros being bad/injured. He is really a DH who can play 1B and OF (but not well). -
Ideally Hoerner is the one brought back but Happ is also well liked and he loves it here so there's a non-zero chance he signs a team-friendly extension by the end of the summer.
-
Yeah that's a nice low-risk signing. He could be this year's Keller.
-
Another huge signing Iowa bullpen depth. His numbers are pretty garbage but he did well in winter ball this year and his fastball hits the upper 90s.
