#Blackhawks make it official: They've agreed to terms with defenseman Brent Seabrook on an eight-year contract extension. From Chris Kuc. love the deal
I was at the Nats/Braves game on Friday night and it was incredibly to see Harper's home run in the first inning. A moonshot that even had my son super excited! Of course, we were nerding out in Cubs gear.
I think a lot of people are bemoaning a consistent issue that has plagued him all year (and beyond. Teams just didn't press the issue as much for whatever reason) and teams are only going to further exploit in the future unless he does something about it.
Why's it obnoxious? Lester's been living on the outer half the plate all inning and guys are going with the pitch. His First Base Yips and the fact that it's so widely known and easily exploitable is a killer.
I'm not sure what our FO is doing, but I find it very hard to believe we could get a starter of Hamels' caliber in FA without paying 20-25 million. Yes, Greinke and Price will be FA, but they've gotta be looking at 30+ per season for 6-8 years?
Any interest in taking a flyer on Jedd Gyorko to play second in a trade? Not far removed from a really solid rookie season... although he's been pretty brutal since.
