    This fanbase is going to implode if they don’t get any of the 4 SS. The mood on Cubs Twitter is nuts right now.
  2. UMFan83
    At least that makes sense of the situation.
  3. UMFan83
    $15m aav seems reasonable, but they’re really paying like $24m if I’m understanding the luxury tax penalties, at least for next year

    Never change England

    Probably not but legitimate news has been quiet so it’s ‘unfounded rumors from bloggers’ time. Hopefully won’t have to drop down to the ‘random Twitter user has a friend whose brother in law works for the cubs’ tier

    I think he's saying he's heard from a source that the Cubs are close to a signing.
  8. UMFan83
    Whatever this means

    He was definitely sick. Seems weird that he would just die during the middle of a match

    Holy horsefeathers. I’m sure we’ll hear a lot more about this. RIP Grant :( I literally just saw a tweet of his on my feed from earlier today.

    Not really news but speculation from someone who knows things:
  13. UMFan83
    Seriously, I just want to feel something again. Don't care if I'll regret it later on lol
  14. UMFan83
    horsefeathers I turned this off for a work call after Messi scored the 2nd goal. Damn
  15. UMFan83
    Not sure I agree with the “spend or else” take but the comments crane is making do see like they are putting some pressure on Jed to spend
  16. UMFan83
    If for some reason the cubs don’t get Correa or Swanson, what types of moves could they investigate to bring in a big bat via trade? Any chance Tatis is available?
  17. UMFan83
    So another of the SS goes for 11 years. Jed still drawing a hard line in the sand at 6 years?
  18. UMFan83
    Is there a reason why everyone on Twitter is all the sudden extremely negative about the cubs chances at the SS? Maybe I missed something. It’s one thing to say “oh no the rumors dried up today” but it seems like people are already doing a post mortem on why the cubs didn’t get any of them

    That’s brutal. How can you start the playoffs when teams are still on bye? Was pretty pissed about it as a Justin Fields and Michael Pittman owner, but I took care of that by losing to the last place team and losing the tiebreaker to miss out on the playoffs. Oh so it all worked out then #-o

    Meaningless info because bad teams lose 1 score games because they’re bad as much as they lose them because of poor luck but interesting to see

    Assad would be in the minors. Sampson would probably be in the minors. Thompson would be the "swinger". Adbert would be a short inning guy as-is, but will probably be a multi-inning guy once they add veteran relievers. Yeah I think this is right. Sampson and Assad at Iowa, Alzolay and Thompson in the pen. Thompson will be a true long guy for like 3-4 inning stints, while Alzolay is more like a 2ish inning guy. After they sign the other starter and push Wesneski to Iowa as well, it'll be truly enviable depth. The bullpen depth isn't far behind either. Yeah I did mean to add Keegan as one of the swingmen but it seems like the Cubs like him more out of the pen as a 2-3 inning guy
  23. UMFan83
    So if the season started today would the projected rotation be something like Stroman, Tallion, Steele, Hendricks, Wesneski with Sampson and Assad being swingman?

    thought this was an interesting take:
