    MHJ with an oddly quiet game, 4 receptions 25 yards 2 TD Maye was solid in a completely non competitive game 16/23 244 yards 4TD 0 INT Williams is going to get a chance to show out in prime time against an elite team. We'll also get to check out Penix.

    I honestly don't think it's going to be much. Coming off a 100 and 95 wRC+ before his 126 this year. He's also 31, which makes me feel incredibly hold. Maybe 2/24 or 3/30 on the high end?

    There's a difference between moving Javy to 2B because your have Russell at SS and moving a player from CF to the lowest position on the defensive spectrum.
  4. Tryptamine
    I hate you right now.

    I'm going to assume that 2/15 for Jeimer means 2 years at 15M each because if it's actually 2/15 then he needs to be a Cub immediately.
  6. Tryptamine
    25 minutes 0/6 and 0 points for Pat Williams. He has to be the worst starter in the league. He's now averaging 4 points a game.
  7. Tryptamine
    Pat Williams continuing to be entirely useless. 0 points on 0/5 in 16 minutes.

    I wouldn't have used the same ,gif, but the message would have been the same

    I feel disgusted that I'm going to have to start hoping GB wins. Williams or Maye cannot fall in their hands.

    I've already said my ideal draft was taking neither Maye or Williams. Unfortunately that dream kind of died when they traded the 2nd for Sweat. I wanted MHJ and one of Fashanu/Alt then to use the 2nd to trade up back into the 1st to grab one of Penix, McCarthy or even Nix.
  11. Tryptamine
    It's not so flashly as Soto, Alonso, etc. but if the Cubs are looking for a solid bat that they could use as the OF/DH or even at 1B, I don't think Anthony Santander would be the worst choice. 119 and 122 wRC+ the last two years and he's in his last year of arbitration before he hits FA. The Orioles make this move to gets Kjersted into the line up and the Cubs could probably get him reasonable cheaply.
  12. Tryptamine
    Staumont and Karinchak are 2 guys I'd love to take a chance on. They both have absolutely dominating stuff when they're right. Unfortunately the strength of the Cubs seems to be more in getting guys with good control to the next tier of stuff, rather than getting guys with good stuff to the next tier of control.

    Starting to see a number of mocks and draft rankings moving Caleb Williams from #1 with Drake Maye and MHJ taking his spot. So much for generational prospect.
  14. Tryptamine
    Looks like a franchise tag in the making now.
  15. Tryptamine
    I'm still excited about that kind of offensive potential out of a guy who sounds like a safe bet to stick in CF. The K rate is the only thing holding him back from being amongst the elite prospects.
  16. Tryptamine
    I can't believe they didn't extend either one. If I'm a Washington fan, I am pissed right now.
  17. Tryptamine
    So if no Williams, Harbaugh isn't interested? Personally I don't really care because I'm ambivalent on Harbaugh, but I don't think I've ever heard a coach is a heavy favorite to a team only if they land a specific prospect.
  18. Tryptamine
    Hopefully he isn't from the Pat Williams school of contract demands.
  19. Tryptamine
    I'd put some substantial money on it. If Poles gave up, what is basically a 1st round pick, for half a season of a guy in which they wont make the playoffs, he'd almost definitely be fired.
  20. Tryptamine
    Please Jaylon still be on the Bears tomorrow.
  21. Tryptamine
    If it's just the 2nd, I don't particularly hate it. The contract extension is just about guaranteed and he's extremely good. Now adding him and getting rid of Jaylon Johnson wouldn't make a lot of sense, but if they keep Jaylon and pay the man, suddenly the defense is starting to look up.
  22. Tryptamine
    God he'd be pricy. I'd have to think he'd take at least a 2nd if not more.
  23. Tryptamine
    Reading through some 2024 FA predictions and here's some of the results per site 1) Bellinger 2) JD Martinez and Sonny Gray 3) Matt Chapman So basically no one has them making a big splash and has them going into 2024 being worse than they were this year unless there's a lot of trades happening.
  24. Tryptamine
    Only way I'm ok with them resigning Bellinger is if that means PCA is trade bait. Paying Bellinger the required money for him to play 1B makes no sense at all.
  25. Tryptamine
    I don't even feel particularly good about a 5 year deal. Big bodied, not particularly athletic slugging 1B with a below average hit tool, don't exactly age well. A 5 year extension would have him under contract until he was 35 and there's a good chance at least 2 of those years he's going to be a huge black hole.
