    Wish it was Nightengale saying that. Then we would know to look for a signing tonight.

    Day wouldn't say he was definitely the starter moving forward in his latest press conference. I bet they go to the portal. Dillon Gabriel? Riley Leonard? Cam Ward?

    Horton is breaking camp with the big league team and winning ROY. I'm speaking it into existence. With Brown, it might depend more on who is brought in for the rotation/traded out

    Mariners gonna trade a pitcher for an OF now?

    As an Illinois fan, I would love that, because then it would seem like they actually have something to compete for. There's almost no way that they manage to be top 2 in the B1G. They would have to be as good or better than all of Mich, OSU, PSU, Washington, and Oregon in addition to all the teams below that level but still usually better than Illinois (Wisky, Iowa, UCLA, etc.)

    The Sox deserve Zaidman on TV

    Pass was so good it shocked his teammate

    2 observations about the embedded tweets: 1. Maddux looks so awkward in the first one 2. I'm pretty sure the umpire made the correct call in the one where Z loses his mind

    Nobody who owns a major North American sports franchise is ever hurting for $. It may be the single most profitable "investment" available

    I don't think you have to get one (or two) of those 3 for the offseason to be a success, but it becomes a lot harder if you don't. I don't know that I place Yamamoto in the same Tier as Ohtani and Soto because they're proven superstars and he hasn't proven it at the MLB level, but given his age and expected performance he is right behind them. Missing on players on the level of Ohtani and Soto knocks everything down because they can be generally counted on for such a high baseline of performance. a .949 OPS would be awesome to drop into your lineup. He's also been well above that twice already in his career, and hitting at Wrigley seemingly should help his power numbers.

    Marquee might finally pay off! Or it will be just like the draft rules changing right when Theo got here and the Cubs are just far enough behind to miss out on the full benefit

    Who cares about excess value? Can he pitch 125-150 generally awesome innings? If so, sign me up

    So when do they fire Donovan? It's clearly not working with this roster, but it seems like AK and Co. are more likely to blame the coach than the roster they put together.
  14. Rex Buckingham
    Shoot, if they can get Glasnow, I'd just pencil Horton in to take over when he is hurt. Maybe the injury risk and $$ considerations make it so TB takes lesser guys like a Keegan Thompson/Kohl Franklin type of package

    #TeamLaunchThemAll mostly because I feel this roster just hasn't been improved enough, the coaching hasn't been good enough, and Fields has enough limitations that you can't really tell if he will ever be good enough to lead you where you need to go. Might as well clean house and start over with the Carolina pick being a QB. If your QB is good, you can find good enough WRs (not on Harrison's level probably, but good ones) later in the draft. Wouldn't even mind Rome Odunze or Malik Nabers or Brock Bowers around the 7-10 slot the Bears might end up with. Find a way to beef up the pass rush in FA, especially on the interior and you should have enough on D to compete with a good offense.

    I predict Horton is on the Opening Day roster and wins ROY, earning the Cubs a PPI draft pick
  17. Rex Buckingham
    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    Matt Eberflus and Luke Getsy, everyone!

    They just refuse to call even intermediate throws
  21. Rex Buckingham
    rumored price for Glasnow per Reds beat writer on mlb.com What's your first offer? Mine would probably be Assad, I imagine they would counter with Ben Brown or Wicks
  22. Rex Buckingham
    good news for the Bears, especially since the Bears play the Cardinals on Christmas Eve
  23. Rex Buckingham
    The good news for those coaches is that one of the best things to do to avoid a loss the last couple of years is to play the Bears.

    More information about "Sonny Gray to Cards Per Heyman"
    Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Cardinals are nearing the finalization of a deal to bring free agent starting pitcher Sonny Gray to St Louis. The Cardinals finished in fifth place last season in large part because their rotation (and pitching staff in general) imploded. They have pursued starters aggressively early in the offseason, picking up Kyle Gibson before Thanksgiving and now it appears they're going to add Gray to the mix. Gray, 34 years old, had what is probably the best season of his career in 2023, finishing second in the Cy Young Award while pitching for the Twins. UPDATE: Sonny Gray has agreed to a three year, $75 million deal with St Louis.
