If the rumor I saw that two of Johnson's biggest criteria is clear separation of duties in the FO and an organization willing to accept where they failed so they can properly rebuild, then the Bears are already out of the running.
Jed never fails to disappointment and how the owner who brought the Cubs their first championship in a century managed to completely destroy all that goodwill in less than 10 years is just impressive.
Given the make up of the draft at the moment, it's going to be so much easier to address OL/OT with one or both of the 2nd then it will be to address OL in the 1st and DE in the 2nd.
While it's exciting, if they were to move both Nico and Bellinger this offseason, that opens up a heck of a lot of work to be done on the offensive side of the team.
It would have to come way down though. I'm cool with Caissie and Triantos being involved but unless Shaw is going to become someone like Hernandez or Southisene, I'm not real sure it's worth it.
Yeah, no thanks. Crochet is good, but hasn't thrown a full season yet and is going to want a huge extension. Not dumping a top 20, top 50 and top 100 prospect all of which are pretty much MLB ready
This is a really odd take. Why would he suddenly flop? Frazier was coming off 1 good year but otherwise was incredibly mediocre. Kolton Wong is 34 years old. Meanwhile Nico has been consistently a 4 fWAR the last 3 years worth 12.8 fWAR over that span and is 27 years old. Not sure why he'd suddenly flop.
