And could end up being the next Heyward, but we'll see. this is such a lazy comp Just saying that Heyward was coming off of three straight high fWAR years before signing with the Cubs, when he then immediately turned into a pumpkin. Correa has already had some back problems, so he's a gamble. None of us know how any of this will turn out, though, so we're all just arguing to argue.

Huh? Swanson: 7/177 = $25M AAV Correa: 13/350 - $27M AAV Basically the same per year, but half the commitment. Why is that horrible? Correa is a lot better than Swanson. And could end up being the next Heyward, but we'll see.

Nope, this makes the Correa contract look like an absolute steal. People need to stop being trained to care about years on a contract. You'll never sign anyone good anymore if you care. Huh?

Guess what an idiot with a big market baseball team did this time

His broadcast is already 80% ad reads. Maybe just sell the rest of the broadcast so that he never actually talks about the game? -
Cubs don't even know who Rodon is
-
Thor is going to win the Cy Young for the Dodgers
-
Yes, but did something new happen on this front? he went from being okay last year to bad this year. it was bad regardless, but now we don't even get a decent player out of it If it makes you feel better, Adam Boqvist has played like 11 total minutes for the Blue Jackets

Correa to the Giants 13/350 (Deal Nixed Due to Medicals)
Derwood replied to mias_tisg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I only watched if they were on national TV (or played the Pirates/Reds) -
How many years away is PCA from the majors? Is his potential upside as our CF for the next 6 years worth packaging him for a Devers type of player?

Nico Hoerner exists How many times do I need to tell you....I DON'T READ POSTS

Play Morel at 2B every day to start the season. If Madrigal shows up with a reworked body and performs in the minor leagues, then you can perhaps readjust depending on how Morel is doing. Nico Hoerner exists

Derwood replied to mias_tisg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
because the stated goal of every professional sports franchise is to win games, but for this particular professional sports franchise, that's not exactly a priority The stated goal and actual goal are quite different. I don't believe the Pirates, Orioles, A's, etc. have any goal of actually winning -

Derwood replied to mias_tisg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
People bitched and moaned about Heyward's contract for the past 6 years, so I guess....those people? And another long-term dud contract just gives Hoyer/Ricketts another excuse never to spend money again Yes, it's a made up problem by the owners. Yep, so why should we be surprised when they don't sign anyone? -

They could easily take that kind of hit if they needed to; other big market teams do it. People bitched and moaned about Heyward's contract for the past 6 years, so I guess....those people? And another long-term dud contract just gives Hoyer/Ricketts another excuse never to spend money again -
If Jed is truly spooked by 10+ year deals, it makes the Willson contract that much more damning.

On the one hand, sign someone already On the other hand, 13 years is stupid, and this might become the next Heyward contract -

Players dropping like flies in this game

3 plays into MNF and Kyler Murray is out for the game. Was really hoping the Cardinals could squeak out a win here, but with Colt McCoy? Nah

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
Derwood replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Bears currently tied with Denver for the #2 overall pick in the draft. Houston seems uncatchable at #1 -
