Sorry for posting DOM, he's the only one I've seen recap this interview Jed does know that he won't be here to see the 2018 scenario play out if he doesn't pull the trigger on these deals right? What I don't get is, if he's so scared of that scenario happening, why did he even take the job? Were they in alignment that he could run the team like a mid-market team while they went through this rebuild and fan angst has caused them to change their tune? Not defending Jed but he's gotta be frustrated that they deflected all the pressure onto him.

Seems like it? It does seem the owners are expecting money to be spent, probably aren’t to picky on who or what (outside of maybe a big name or two to market) since that’s Hoyer’s job. They might not even be a 77 win team if he doesn’t do some stuff Yep, the reports that came out last week plus the Crane interview leave it pretty obvious. This is a franchise that has been cautious and calculated about setting expectations about individual offseasons and using vague statements like 'the money will be there when needed' to describe their future payrolls. The narrative has changed completely now based on the things they've said. They had to know that they were dramatically raising fan expectations. And now instead of 90% ownership blame, 10% FO blame (on twitter at least), its reversed.

One Contreras in St. Louis, the other in Milwaukee. We live in hell

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
UMFan83 replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Remaining schedules Houston - KC, @TEN, JAX, @ IND Denver - ARI, @LAR, @KC, LAC Chicago - PHI, BUF, @DET, MIN Houston probably isn't winning 2 more games, especially because it looks like they are gunning for number 1. Denver has a tough schedule. Arizona is winnable but they probably won't have Russ (is that a good or a bad thing?). Bears will probably lose out. Seem destined for the 3rd pick but crazier things have happened. Seems pretty annoying that the Bears have played the hardest SOS in the NFL and also have the hardest remaining SOS in the NFL. Even though it helps us lose, it continues to kill our tiebreaker -

That's terrible. All the best for him and his family. Given the age of many of these coaches and the nature of their jobs it's a wonder this doesn't happen more often. Randy Walker is the obvious parallel. This sucks.

Yep. My level of apathy towards the Bulls is strong. They gave me entertaining basketball so I’m satisfied
-
Well that was something. 7 points scored in the final 2 seconds of the game. Unfortunately the Hawks scored 4 of those points.
-
What percent would you say is in favor of the Cubs not signing these “dumb contracts?” Less than 1%. Even people who were saying that 2 weeks ago are now on “do whatever it takes” mode. White Sox fans are even worse right now lol. Chicago is very angsty right now about all of their sports teams.
-
Also said that him and Tyler Adams got into it a bit during practice.
-
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.
-
At least that makes sense of the situation.

$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.
-
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:
