    I'm so tired of the "they haven't even gone over $200 million" comments. There have been very few players worth that kind of money available. If they're serious about winning (and all indications are in the affirmative) they'll offer a boatload of $ to Ohtani this year and/or Soto next year

    I don't think Poles will pick either Tackle... I think he is convinced Jones is their LT and obviously Wright is solid and getting better at RT

    is this an alopecia joke? because if so, well done

    I just don't think it's that hard or time consuming to navigate to the different sub-forums to read what I want to read... takes one or two extra clicks/touches. Even less if you have used the tools to make your feed show unread posts since your last visit edited to add: Also don't mind Nola signing with the Phillies. The Cubs weren't going to sign him, so might as well have him there instead of the Cardinals or another competitor

    Went to Fangraphs and looked at 3B w/300+ ABs and got to these guys who might be available before getting into Wisdom/madrigal range (and you might argue that all but Paredes fall into that range) Isaac Paredes (TB), Jake Burger (MIA), Yoan Moncada (CHW), Ryan McMahon (COL)... didn't look at contracts or really anything other than did they provide more WAR than Wisdom last year and would they be hypothetically "available"

    The idea of seeing his slugging numbers improve playing his home games at Wrigley should make him salivate. Signing a guy like Ohtani changes everything for this roster that generally lacks that big bat. Yes, they hit plenty of HRs (dead middle of the league, 15th, with 196), but it was because they had 6 guys hit 20-26. a 40-50 HR guy in the middle of the lineup changes the game plan for opposing pitchers

    The rant isn't wrong.
  8. Rex Buckingham
    They won't, because you have to assure yourself of the QB you want... but if the Bears end up at 1 and 3, they should pick MHJr and then whatever QB falls to 3.
  9. Rex Buckingham
    It wasn't the wrong choice. He made a perfect throw that should have hit his WR in stride.

    Packers got a win because of an awful drop by the Chargers rookie 1st Round WR.
  11. Rex Buckingham
    Thought he drifted directly into the pass rush, but on replay it's certainly mostly on Wright.
  12. Rex Buckingham
    Now THAT, is on Fields
  13. Rex Buckingham
    He threw what should have been a backbreaking dime.
  14. Rex Buckingham
    They're absolutely scoring a TD here
  15. Rex Buckingham
    Scott looked like he slowed up for a second... that was a pretty dang good throw
  16. Rex Buckingham
    There's a lot of game left... but the refs picked up a PI flag that would have gone against Iowa where the DB hit the receiver early and never looked back for the ball... Illinois got 3 on the drive. Next possession for Iowa, QB throws a ball 5 feet over the WR's head and Illinois is flagged for PI on 3rd down, extending a drive that resulted in a TD... I don't think it will matter since Illinois apparently forgot how to play defense after the Minnesota game, but still

    I want them to go after Woodruff. Pay him to rehab, get him for 2025.

    Hard to believe this isn't a Derwood post
  19. Rex Buckingham
    I mean, if a team is bringing him in to close, I'm not sure they would be worried about the DH position at that time. Yeah, he would blow some games, but I'd imagine the 10-12 times a year it doesn't work out wouldn't outweigh the benefits for a good team.
  20. Rex Buckingham
    Same. Every mobile link I click on from them sends me to something like that
  21. Rex Buckingham
    Hernandez seems like what we hope for from Morel, only capable of playing OF
  22. Rex Buckingham
    I believe the reasoning is that since those 2 would be on 1 year deals, they may reach a little higher into the Tax because of how much will be coming off after the season, as opposed to Ohtani's longer-term deal.
  23. Rex Buckingham
    agreed. The results he got in MLB, pitching in a playoff race at the end of a season where he set a career high in innings should carry more value, IMO
  24. Rex Buckingham
    The Browns defense is going to eviscerate this offense
  25. Rex Buckingham
    2 pre-arb arms plus more... man that seems like a lot when considering they really need to cut payroll and he's only got 1 more year before FA...
