So they've chosen to go a worse version of the Lovie Smith theory. Don't give up many runs, but score even fewer.

Correa to the Giants 13/350 (Deal Nixed Due to Medicals)

Swoop in Jed. 5/175 -
Conforto is kind of the last shot at a big bat, unless you think Mancini is.
-
Pitching solid, defense very good, offense horrendous.
-
Every Bear that means anything for the future got hurt today. Fields, Sanborn, Johnson and Jenkins.
-
Velus Jones just sucks.
-
Is he hurt? If not he’s got to go. Nope, he tested the wind and signaled that he couldn't make it.
-
I honestly think Fields gets hit more as a passer than as a runner.
-
So Santos decided he had no chance at a 48 yard field goal into the wind. Add kicker to the positions to fill.
-
He's trying to prevent the upset. Gotta get that #2 pick.
-
Whitehair with sack #2 allowed
-
This pretty much where I'm at. It's not the guy I wanted, but at least the contract is decent.
-
I just can't think of anyway to fix things that isn't going to take 3 to 5 years. They're like the 2020 Cub team but Heyward is on year 1 of his deal.
-
If the mutant option means Bellinger will mutate into someone who can hit I like it, guessing Levine meant to write mutual option. Stop taking away what little joy this offseason is bringing me
-
Market inefficiency?
-
I think somewhere in the 9-12 range is going to be where the farm averages. I remember seeing some as low as 16.
-
Waiting until the trade deadline before everyone was a FA certainly didn't do anything to help with that. If he makes those moves before the 2021 season we're looking a whole lot better. By all accounts Jed killed the 2021 deadline. He got PCA, Alcantara, Kilian and Canario. I know we’re all pissed at Jed now but to think he didn’t do a great job in returns in 2021 is insane and the system is also in really good shape and on the rise. It’s far from average. He absolutely did, given the circumstances. I just think it's reasonable to believe a full year would have gotten substantially more.

When you only have to watch 7 full games to beat the number... I’m not sure I watched a full game start to finish in 2022. I did not. A few times I watched a couple innings, but that was about the extent of it. -
Hurts is going to absolutely torch this defense; I see no way they keep the Eagles under 30. Fields is going to have to carry them with his legs to make this even competitive. 38-21.
-
9/225 is a number that keeps rattling around in my head. A few months ago I would have said like 6/140, but yeah.....
-
If he's what we hope he is, he either starts in AA or has a brief stint in A+ to start the year before AA. He spends the vast majority of the year there and gets a taste of AAA at the end of the year. Then he likely opens 2024 in AAA with a chance at a call up around the 2024 ASB, perhaps earlier if he's completely torching AAA.
-
Luckily I'm on a bye or I'd be in panic mode too. Brady and Dak have pretty much sucked for me.

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
Tryptamine replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
I wouldn't give up a ton, but it's pretty clear he's very unhappy there and the overall team chemistry is a dumpster fire. -
Based on their unwillingness to spend, I can't see them moving their top prospects who they're going to almost entirely depend on to make the team relevant in the next few years.
