What would the Braves even offer? Their farm is bad. I mean I guess they could use Grissom, but I don't even know if that gets them half way there. They'd probably have to give up either Elder or Smith-Shawver too.

Going somewhere, Soto? Yes, to the Yankees
Tryptamine replied to Bobson Dugnutt's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Just reading the tea leaves, but I think Yamamoto is very unlikely and seems to be the main off season focus for a bunch of other teams, while he seems to be secondary to Ohtani for the Cubs. I do believe the Cubs are all in on Ohtani, but the Chicago sports fan in me has been stuck dealing with dumpster fires for too long to be optimistic on that front. I'm hoping for more but I'm expecting an offseason like Imanaga, Candelario and Hoskins. -

Can you imagine how pissed off this board is going to be if Jed whiffs on all 3 of Ohtani, Yamamoto and Soto after all this hype? -
Yeah, you're talking the difference between like Assad vs PCA+Morel+more. The acquisition gap is huge.
-
I'm still in, I'll believe when I see it, when it comes to bumping up the payroll like that.

Ohtani to Dodgers for an ungodly amount of money
Tryptamine replied to JD94's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wasn't there also the KatyPerry handle a few years ago? We had the one guy here(Evenflow?) break I think the Jon Lester signing. -
It's not that I have high expectations for Wesneski, it's that I don't think it's very likely Glasnow provides any excess value beyond his 25M salary.
-
A harder decision. He's just so bad against lefties that I don't even know if you could use him a reliever now that relievers need to face 3 batters or open an inning. With that said, he's very good against righties so that if he even reached just below average against lefties he'd have a long career.
-
Nix wont be there, but you'd have a shot at Penix around there or you could probably get 1 of McCarthy, Daniels or Sanders in the 2nd.
-
So, believe it or not, the Bears are up to 9th in defensive yards allowed at 318.5 a game. They're #1 against the rush at 79 ypg and up to 25th against the pass at 239.5. There's still a lot of questions on the other side of the ball, but the defense is really rounding into form.
-
If the MLB ready pitcher is named Caleb Killian, I'm completely cool with that. I'm not even sure I'd be willing to give up Assad for the right to pay Glasnow $25M.
-
I literally might vomit if Jed even considered this trade. From an MLBTR chat. Mariners 1:48 Matt Shaw and Christopher Morel to Seattle for Bryce Miller and Justin Tops? Steve Adams 1:48 I'm not as big on Morel as a lot of Cubs fans. I wouldn't take him as the headliner in a Miller deal, personally
-
I'm not sure I'm comfortable grabbing Nix at 4. If the Bears are picking in the 7-10 range sure, but at 4 there is some absolute top tier talent still available that I'd rather have then grab what is currently the 3rd rated QB in this draft.
-
I'm curious to know how many times Getsy ran that WR screen last night because it felt like at least 7 or 8 times and once it was on back to back plays.
-
Bieber isn't that guy anymore. His velocity is down almost 3mph from 2020. His k/9 are more Hendricks level now. He's still a solid mid to back end pitcher, but the days of being a front of the rotation guy are gone.
-
They beat Washinton so I'm pretty sure 5th, unless I'm thinking playoffs and only SOS matters for draft order.
-
Bears have now dropped to the #5 pick.
-
I'm not infatuated with any of them either. I really wanted Fields to show he was the guy so they could grab MHJ and one of Fashanu/Alt
-
The Bears are a complete meltdown against DEN and DET from being .500.
-
Doesn't have the tools Williams/Maye have but he has 37TD to 2INT this year.
-
Honestly this is where I'm at right now.
-
They left 10 seconds. They can still botch this.
-
Please don't figure out a way to botch what should be an easy FG.
-
That was a big time throw.
-
Even a game winning drive doesn't really matter at this point.
