Cubs Showing Interest In Additional Late Inning Relievers
Tryptamine replied to Bertz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This is going to be another year where they buy a guy with significant questions marks for like 8M when if they had just paid 10 or 11M they could have had Robertson who is solid basically every year isn't it? -
I'd argue it actually makes the team worse as Amaya has flashed upside Kelly can't touch. With that said, I'd be shocked if he was dfa'd and as little as I think of Jed, even I think he's not that dumb.

Potential Landing Spots For A Cody Bellinger Trade
Tryptamine replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Except that while one guy slightly underperformed his contract only putting up 2.2 fWAR the other was amongst the worst SP in baseball posting 117 innings of 6.23 ERA ball. One was a solid but over paid everyday starter, the other was a disaster on a big contract that actively hurt his team . They are not the same just because they're both overpaid. -
It's something i suppose. Still one starter to pencil in ahead of Taillon/Boyd and one 8th/9th inning pen arm and some kind of bench bet away from feeling ok about this offseason.
-
Jordan Romano off the board to the Phillies. He was an interesting bounce back guy.
-
How the hell did Michigan get a bowl game against Alabama?
-
This. Right now your ML Bench is something like Thaiss/Mastrobuoni/Canario/Vazquez/Mervis. You'd actively have to try and make a worse bench than that.
-
Considering he was the OL whisperer who supposedly didn't even need top picks to find Oline talent. Oops.
-
So then the plan is Shaw is your DH? Occasionally filling in at 3B and 2B?
-
Yeah, but his bat plays a lot better at 3B. If you move him to 1B full time he becomes like a 2 fWAR player rather than the guy who has averaged almost 3.5 fWAR over the last 3 years.
-
If Cody+ prospect in maybe the Cristian Hernandez level get it done, sure. If Nico is your lead piece, there had better be something valuable coming back. Harry Ford I'm looking at you.
-
Not that I am in anyway advocating this, but I wonder given that we've heard about the Cubs supposed interest in Alonso on several occasions over the last two years, Is a Cody dump potentially a cap clearing move to bring in Pete? I don't want him anywhere near the 6-7 years he supposedly wants and I think he gets overpaid because HRs despite being no better than Santander with the bat.
-
For FAs that fit both budget and need, yeah.
-
That would be baffling to me. Let's get rid of Bellinger so we can give 4/90ish to Santander who can barely fake it in RF.
-
Don't get me wrong the line is, especially at LT, very bad, but at least 2 of those sacks yesterday were 100% on Caleb. So while they definitely suck, Caleb isn't helping the number out.
-
Yeah I can't wait for the team's mediocre offense to trade a bat they badly need and hope they can fill the gap with dwindling number of options left in FA.
-
It's only more than 4x bigger than any contract the small market Cubs have ever handed out.

Cubs Likely to Add Another Starting Pitcher

They can go get horsefeathered if they want PCA -

Braxton is really bad, I don't give a horsefeathers what PFF says
-
Why does this offense only work in the 2nd half?
-
I have one condition for whoever becomes the next Bear DC, he must announce at his press conference that zone defense is horsefeathers.
-
3rd and what 5? Three Bear defenders play 10 yards off the ball letting Kittle just sit there uncovered for the easy 1st down.
-
Not a catch
-
I have no idea why this has been such an issue with the Bears this year.
