    More revenue streams that will surely be put into the payroll, just like the renovation of the neighborhood, the addition of the sports betting and getting their own channel.
  2. Tryptamine
    So realistically they could get as high as 3.
  3. Tryptamine
    If this is legit, I'm shocked. I didn't think this was Justin's personality at all.
  4. Tryptamine
    Unless they comeback from 7 down in the 9th, chalk up number 17 in a row.
  5. Tryptamine
    Morel hit another HR today. It means nothing in the long run, but it certainly is funny.
  6. Tryptamine
    Nice to see that he only gave up the 1 hit while limiting walks, so the stuff is still there and he's not just trying to groove it over.

    Benintendi's contract is actually surprisingly gross and I have no idea how he got it in the first place. The bad part is if the Cubs took his contract on, they would almost certainly give him ABs and not just immediately DFA him which is the right move for a guy who has put up -1.7 fWAR this year. He's still owed 16.5M in '25, 16.5M in '26 and 14.5M in '27

    I still think if you can add Crochet and not lose any of Horton/Shaw/Ballesteros you pull the trigger, maybe even with Ballesteros. I'm sure you could get something done between Caissie/Alcantara/Rojas/Triantos. Thankfully the WSox want bats and the Cubs have those in the minors. Steele/Shota/Crochet is about a legit a top 3 as any team in the league has. That leaves you with tons of money to address C/RF, though there's really no one in FA at C to throw big money at.

    I wonder what it takes for Cody to opt out. He's at a 111 wRC+ right now so I imagine that's not going to do it, but if he gets to 120 is that enough? He has player options in 2025 for 27.5(2.5M buyout) and in 2026 for 25M(5M) buyout. If he finishes at 120 someone would probably give him like 4/85-90, right? Add the 2.5M buyout on top of that, it's probably enough, right?

    Went from 3B with 94 wRC+ to 3B with 128 wRC+, I'd call that a fairly significant upgrade.
  11. Tryptamine
    Don't care where he goes as long as it's not on the 2025 Cub roster.
  12. Tryptamine
    So the modern record for most consecutive losses in a season is 23. If the White Sox continue losing, they will face the Cubs having lost 23 in a row. The Cubs could potentially have the opportunity to be the ones who cement the '24 WSox as having the longest losing streak in MLB history.

    From what I've been reading, Scott looks capable in practices so far, but the one who has shined the most of all the rookies has been Odunze.
  14. Tryptamine
    Very much this. He's probably not a closer, but he stands a very real chance of being a strong set up man.
  15. Tryptamine
    This completely baffles me. The guy has put up a .305/.357/.467 line good for a 143 wRC+ over his last 269 PAs at AA, in an extremely challenging offensive environment, at age 22 and at a premium defensive position where he is graded positively and he's going to slide? Please make it make sense.
  16. Tryptamine
    I know this team is supremely disappointing now, but even without Soto they could put out a strong team next year. Let's say they went out and grabbed O'neill for RF in FA for around 4/90, Cody stayed in CF, You go out and throw a big prospect package at a rebuilding LAA team for O'hoppe, something like Caissie+Triantos+. Then you have still have enough powder to grab a SP upgrade. A line up of C- O'hoppe(121 wRC+) 1B- Busch(125) 2B- Nico(92) SS- Dansby(80) 3B- Paredes(128) RF- O'Neill(141) CF- Bellinger(111) LF- Happ(117) DH- Seiya(129) Is super deep even without the elite level masher. If Nico/Dansby return to normal career levels then we're talking a top 10 offense.
  17. Tryptamine
    Matt Shaw up to a .263/.362/.460 line good for a 142 wRC+ and an 18.3K%. Why is he still in AA?
  18. Tryptamine
    Pretty much this. I can't recall a single time I've ever seen a guy who was strictly a reliever, get a 50 grade. A 50 is basically top 100.
  19. Tryptamine
    They have officially dropped below 40 win pace.
  20. Tryptamine
    Pretty much this. If he's willing to go year to year then I'd love to have him. I might even consider in him a 2 year deal depending on how he looks this year, but beyond that, absolutely not.
  21. Tryptamine
    Oh for the love of god, reward PCA already. Smokes a ball into an out his last PA and now he hits a ball to the warning track off a lefty.
  22. Tryptamine
    Man, Steele just isn't locating anything.
  23. Tryptamine
    PCA with more hard contact and no reward
  24. Tryptamine
    My God, what have we done?
  25. Tryptamine
    They'll have Paredes as a major upgrade and 40M to either get a couple big upgrades or one superstar upgrade.
