    I'm as down on Jed as just about anyone, but given the cap space available, given that the rotation is now full, the bullpen is now full and that Cabrera is cheap, payroll wise, I'd be legit surprised if they aren't adding a significant bat to this line up. The pieces just line up too perfectly and honestly with the current roster any of Bichettte/Bregman/Tucker/Bellinger all could work.
  2. Tryptamine
    If we had gotten 2.5 fWAR out of Caissie I would have been thrilled.
  3. Tryptamine
    As long as it's not Conrad, I could probably get over it. but the meatbally part of me really wants Kane Kepley to be a thing too.
  4. Tryptamine
    Hot take, but I think I'd rather lose Assad, Wicks, Long than that compensatory pick.
  5. Tryptamine
    Yes, I've also seen him linked to the Mets which makes quite a bit of sense.
  6. Tryptamine
    Rotation would be upgraded, The offense perhaps slightly down graded. the bullpen I'm quite happy with so I'd call it neutral, but the bench would be significantly upgraded.
  7. Tryptamine
    So, I'd rather Bregman/Bichette because of the huge upgrade it gives the bench with Shaw, but suddenly Bellinger makes a good bit of sense. Plays RF, can fill in for PCA here and there.
  8. Tryptamine
    God knows they'll have plenty of available funds to do it.
  9. Tryptamine
    A bench Starting with Amaya/Shaw/Alcantara is already light years ahead of the bench last year.
  10. Tryptamine
    As things are set right now, Mo is set to get a lot of ABs. Alcantara might get a couple hundred too. If the Cubs were to acquire Bichette/Bregman and turn Shaw into a Zobrist style super utility player, then who knows.
  11. Tryptamine
    I mean, unless they're drastically lowering payroll, they almost have to add one of Bichette/Bregman or, please god no, Eugenio Suarez
  12. Tryptamine
    Nah, I think, as of now, Seiya is your RF and Mo is your DH.
  13. Tryptamine
    This could open up a good bit more ABs for Alcantara who would likely be your back up CFer and RFer now.
  14. Tryptamine
    Steele/Boyd/Horton/Cabrera/Taillon/Shota/Rea/Assad/Wicks is kind of crazy rotation depth
  15. Tryptamine
    I can't see them trading Taillon given that Steele is going to be out for a bit. If Anything, going the 6 pitcher rotation is great to limit innings on Boyd, Horton and Cabrera.
  16. Tryptamine
    If he's going to remain primarily a two pitch pitcher then yeah, but I feel like he's a passable third pitch away from being quite good.
  17. Tryptamine
    I irrationally want to keep Ben Brown. I still think he has that mid rotation or more upside.
  18. Tryptamine
    Adding Rojas would sting quite a bit
  19. Tryptamine
    Yeah, he's definitely not a deal breaker, but I also don't think they're actively shopping him as a piece either.
  20. Tryptamine
    I'd be more shocked by this then Shaw. The farm without Wiggins is almost entirely bereft of pitching.
  21. Tryptamine
    I think the Cubs would be a bit hesitant to trade Alcantara as he's basically your back up CFer right now with no one else currently on the roster who can reliably fill in.
  22. Tryptamine
    If Shaw goes, one of Bichette/Bregman has to be coming
  23. Tryptamine
    I mean there's some drastically different levels of value among them. Like Shaw+Caissie would feel real bad, but Caissie+Assad would feel pretty great.
  24. Tryptamine
    My guess is going to be Caissie/Ballestros, Javier Assad, Jonathan Long
  25. Tryptamine
    He never has a guy and there in lays the problem. His guy is whoever falls to him.
