    Well there's only 2 pitchers left who I would consider to solidly be in the top 3 of the rotation if signed and neither has been linked to the Cubs in a long long time so back to searching for mediocrity I guess.
  2. Tryptamine
    I'm legit going to be shocked if we don't know the answer by lunch tomorrow.

    Rueben Bain Jr is a damn monster and I want him on the Bears some how.
  4. Tryptamine
    Did you actually want him?
  5. Tryptamine
    The Bulls are 1.5 point favorites at home against an 8-26 Pelicans team, That is how little people think of the Bulls.

    I mean hasn't the vibe always been, as he is he's more a mid rotation guy, but in the right pitch lab he has the stuff to be a front of the rotation guy?

    I said this in another thread, but I'm still baffled at the mass appeal of Brendan Donovan, yeah he's a solid 3 fWAR player which is a good player too have, but he's catching some hype like there's an all out bidding war going on for him. He's under control for 2 more years, is a career 119 wRC+ bat and while he can play multiple positions, he doesn't play them particularly well. There's value in that no questions asked, but I'm seeing rumored packages of like one of Lazaro Montes or Ryan Sloan and then Jurrangelo Cijntje on top of that. That's a top 30 prospect with top of the scale power, a top 50 prospect pitcher and another top 100 pitcher with significant ceiling, but also significant risk, on top of that. That's the kind of package teams should be giving up for like Joe Ryan, not Brendan Donovan.

    It was a fairly successful year for Illinois, but damn that Wisconsin loss haunts me.

    We're at the point where I almost feel like a deal has already been agreed upon and all parties have been asked to keep it a secret for a new year's eve evening or new year's day reveal. If not we're down to 36 hours to negotiate, agree to and do all the necessary filing/medical stuff before the deadline.
  10. Tryptamine
    I mean, we almost have to have a solid answer tomorrow

    Yates will be 39 on opening day and coming off of a bad season. He still misses bats but gives up a really high hr/fb and basically depends on extremely low babip.
  12. Tryptamine
    I get that Donovan is solid, but there's so many speculative articles out there that there's an outright bidding war for him and he's going to net a substantial return. I don't get why he is a guy you'd blow up your farm for.
  13. Tryptamine
    That almost feels like it can't be right. He has 3 days left to decide before the 24 hour window to get things completed prior to his deadline. If there haven't been an official offers, that's going to have to change in the next 12ish hours if they actually want any room to negotiation.
  14. Tryptamine
    Also, I really do loathe Collinsworth. Caleb puts up a huge game and his entire focus was on 3 throws he missed.
  15. Tryptamine
    Hot take, especially after last week, but I'd be on board with moving Moore to open up cap room if necessary. I'm quite high on what I've seen of Jahdae Walker and I think Burden+Rome+Walker is a completely respectable if not pretty good 1-3.
  16. Tryptamine
    5 seconds left they probably go for 1 quick hit and then a 2nd play. 4 seconds left you only get 1 shot.
  17. Tryptamine
    Seriously horsefeathers this defense
  18. Tryptamine
    Every other team in the league makes that sack. 2 defenders just embarrassed themselves on national television.
  19. Tryptamine
    Straight up horsefeathers this trash pass rush, that was some of the most pathetic horsefeathers I've ever seen.
  20. Tryptamine
    Completely inexcusable for this defense. They aren't even putting up a challenge.
  21. Tryptamine
    Well this isn't good
  22. Tryptamine
    They might combine for 90 points tonight
  23. Tryptamine
    Allowing 8.2 YPC
  24. Tryptamine
    They might put up 50
  25. Tryptamine
    This defense is ass
