    Nice catch Tonyan.
  2. Tryptamine
    There might be like 10 total offensive points scored that aren't a result of turnovers today.
  3. Tryptamine
    Not in a season where the Cardinals and Brewers are basically begging you to come and take the division.

    Jed is clearly super high on the farm, but as was mentioned above, they are a farm that's highly rated because it has incredible depth. They have a ton of guys who could be every day regulars, but very few who figure who have all star caliber upside. This is fine if you plan to go out and buy the all stars, but Jed hasn't given us an inclination that he's going to go that route.

    Whether he is trying is irrelevant. The only thing that matter are results and this offseason there are no positive results.

    So we've become the Baltimore Orioles. Let everyone else feast and then when everyone else is full we get the leftovers. A strategy totally fitting the 4th highest revenue team.
  7. Tryptamine
    Yup, wrong place, sorry

    Sounds like there are several 300+M offers. This might end up getting to the 350-400M area.
  9. Tryptamine
    Opt outs never benefit the team. If he goes nuts, you want him to stay.

    Michigan St(4-5) up 45-17 at half against #6 Baylor

    Gotta make his Cub overlords happy. Show the Cubs tried really hard, but he chose the Dodgers and there was nothing they could do about it. Rinse and repeat on all the elite tier free agents.

    This has been the most boring Cub offseason I've ever experienced based on pre offseason expectations. Tons of money to spend, tons of prospect assets, several clear areas of need, a team that is only a couple moves from NL central favorite and just nothing with a little over a week until Christmas. There have been times in the past where very little happening made sense, but this is undoubtedly not one of them. it's absolutely baffling.

    That it one massive overpay for 2 years of Cease.
  14. Tryptamine
    At this point I'd think the likely scenario is the Bears ending up 7-10, losing to Cleveland and GB while beating Arizona and Atlanta. I'll just about guarantee 1 thing as though, unless the Bears lose the next 3 games, if they beat GB in week 17, Eberflus is back. Something disastrous would have to happen for Poles to go anywhere.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/jesus-luzardo-drawing-trade-interest.html The ask would be very high, but this is the kind of guy you could slot in behind Steele for the next few years. Health is an issue, but the results the last 2 years speak for themselves.

    This doesn't matter much to me. I think the defense hangs with them regardless. The offense putting up points is major hurdle the Bears are going to have to overcome to win on Sunday.
  17. Tryptamine
    Is anyone saying he's bad? He's obviously a very good QB prospect, I think what most people take issue with was that he was a generational talent or that he was the clear cut no questions asked 1.1 in this draft. He's neither of those.
  18. Tryptamine
    Hoyer has proven he values defense highly. I'd find it very hard to believe he's going to move Morel over there when you're most likely outcome is below average defense with a chance at Ryan Braun levels of awful.
  19. Tryptamine
    .500 is pretty generous considering what they're down. I know you said .500ish and if I had to guess I'd say 77-78 wins as things stand.
  20. Tryptamine
    Cubs getting outspent by the Royals, I didn't see that coming. I'm kidding.....I hope.
  21. Tryptamine
    For some teams, I completely agree, but the Cubs badly need offensive production, not more guys with league average bats and plus gloves.
  22. Tryptamine
    Only Swanson didn't suck for 3/4 of a season before giving him his contract.
  23. Tryptamine
    If Hoyer gives Chapman 30M a year, I'm out.
  24. Tryptamine
    I mean, when you think about it, Counsell is pretty much a genius move for Hoyer/Ricketts. It gives the impression they're trying and builds hype around the team for far less money then it would take to sign a star player and on top of that, he's the kind of coach that has historically milked the best out of some mediocre cheap rosters.
  25. Tryptamine
    If the supposed ask on Cease from Baltimore was legit, hard hard pass. if I remember right it was Mayo and Ortiz which mlb has ranked as #27 and #50. That'd be not to far off from PCA and Shaw.
