    He was. And was also the teammate of Cubs icon Rowan Wick (hey remember him) and garbage person T. Bauer.
  2. Post Count Padder
    Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok! He's been in Japan for 6 seasons and had a .945 OPS over there. So he's gonna be backup 1B and maybe OF but really just be a lefty masher off the bench for cheap. It's fine I guess.
  3. Post Count Padder
    This feels like a scenario where at some point he will announce it himself on social media or we're gonna have a report bomb from Passan or Rosenthal (if it's Boob Nightengale we can ignore),
  4. Post Count Padder
    I have to assume this is due diligence and nothing of substance actually is happening here. Giants want a 2B, call up Hoyer and see what it would take. The end.
  5. Post Count Padder
    I do think we need one more late-inning guy for the pen and we're set. All offseason and dating back to the deadline we've heard about Fairbanks.
  6. Post Count Padder
    So when is the Imai deadline? And did I hear he wanted a deal before Christmas anyway?
  7. Post Count Padder
    Yeah feels like that was the case. Angels also added Jordan Romano, who was a disaster last year but feels like a perfect one year gamble for someone like the Angels.
  8. Post Count Padder
    I'm a fan. He did well last year and has been pretty effective most of his career. It won't be expensive and now we have two set lefties in the pen. It's not sexy but it's coming together fine.

    Since we're all craving an sort of interest or rumor or news... I live in Philly and also follow the Phillies and a lot of Philly sports accounts and people are going a little nuts now because Imai just recently followed Zach Wheeler and his wife on instagram and she posted a story featuring a bunch of Japanese snack foods. It is almost positively a big nothing burger but who the hell knows.

    Yeah Nico is likeable and his content-oriented approach and stellar defense seem like they'll hold up awhile. Definitely wanna extend him if he's open to it and I can't see them trading him. He's a pending FA so he won't fetch a ton that it would be worth it to deal him and lose a 4-6 win player.

    I remember when I posted on this message board when I was in high school and thought I was super smart. Now I'm 38 and still posting on this message board and realize I am not THAT smart. Participate in discussions, have fun, don't try to "outsmart" everyone on purpose in every conversation. No poster who has done that ever stuck around and I've seen many in the last two decades. Welcome to the forum,
  12. Post Count Padder
    I would not be stunned if they bring back Pomeranz or Thielbar as the other lefty and then sign Fairbanks as the 8th/9th inning guy. It's not sexy but should get the job done. Missing out on Devin Williams really sucks.
  13. Post Count Padder
    Idk, feels weird to start a new post every time we sign a small deal/minor league FA so I'll start with this. He was really good in 2024 and really bad in 2025. Depth reliever to fill out the Iowa pen.
  14. Post Count Padder
    FWIW Leiter just signed with the Athletics for 1 year/$3 million
  15. Post Count Padder
    Big fan. Wanted him last time he was on the market. Not a ton of money either. Side note, when he was a Phillies prospect in Spring Training, Milner also signed my hat after Scott Kingery did. Carlos Santana also signed that hat. As did then-coach/future GM Sam Fuld. All these guys have or will play in the Cubs organization. Am I Nostradamus but for things that don't really matter?
  16. Post Count Padder
    I have not had enough coffee to process the last 2 pages of this thread
  17. Post Count Padder
    On one hand it's disappointing and boring. On the other....not a lot really happened this week? Not just the Cubs. Some big moves yes but not a lot of action.

    I had a feeling upon seeing the terms that Schwarber went back to the Phillies and asked them to match his top offer elsewhere. It seemed he wanted to stay and Phillies wanted to keep him but weren't keen on going beyond 3/4 years. Guess they figured it was worth it. He's perfect for that lineup assuming they can address the rest of their OF.

    I just want us to come out of the next couple days with some kinda roster improvement. But this first day has been painfully slow.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Well Boston signing Bichette would likely take them out on Bregman..
  23. Post Count Padder
    OK so sign Bregman 5/140 and trade Shaw to the Marlins for Cabrera (and now he's closer to Mar a Lago so he'll be happy).
  24. Post Count Padder
    Finally some more action. Pirates get a big OF prospect and a A-ball pitcher who posted some gaudy K numbers. Red Sox get a SP under control a couple more years, a hard throwing (albeit old) lefty and the Pirates' 5th rounder this summer. I like the deal for the Pirates.
  25. Post Count Padder
    Pass. He's a nice power bat but has a big contract and can't play defense. I also don't really feel like helping out the Dodgers by giving them a prospect.
