on the strength of smoke & mirrors offensive output, considering his .287 expected wOBA yep. (hence the fwiw)

FWIW, Madrigal was playing at a 4+ win pace through 1/3 of this season.

You could say the Cubs practically walked out without paying on these deals.

Rizzo, Bryant and Baez all missed on this new trend of buying out arb years for big early-career paydays Rizzo did, he didn’t get the mega deal because he was a 1B and had a slow start to his career and had cancer. But he extended for like $70+ mil when he wasn’t really established. He was never getting the Tatis type mega deal. He obviously left money on the table with where his career has gone but think it was a good deal for both parties and it paid off, he has more than enough money for lifetimes and the Cubs got a discount for committing to an unproven guy. Yeah, Rizzo did. Baez didn't really establish himself as someone you knew you'd want to lock up long term until it was kinda too late (in that he went from guy you weren't sure you'd want to extend to superstar when he already had 4ish years under his belt). And Bryant was never going to do that.

optimistic? lol

seems fine to me. not sure what people were expecting to get for tepera that would be much better than a mid 90s sitting lefty with a good breaking ball. i could see the sweetener argument but that's about it.

That font sure is...something Can't wait to see the mixed upside down font caps!

People keep saying this, but the Indians were never the Spiders. The Spiders were a short-lived 19th century team look who you're replying to do you think he doesn't know this? edit - lol he actually said the same thing on the first page

this is a very good strategy for maintaining and aiding SF for sure, but the Bears still dont have ownership in the stadium, and that could be their larger sticking point. I'd love to see this work out for the Bears and SF, coupled by better revenue for the Bears and more seating capacity in SF, probably a major modernization/remodel to SF. And field turf, no more Chicago Parks death grip. the decision to have grass is the bears' choice, not the city's. the city would've gladly installed field turf years ago if the bears wanted it.

This prompted me to see what Jason Dubois has been up to and it yielded this... https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-dubois-04a2a863/ and this https://www.pinalcentral.com/casa_grande_dispatch/local_sports/cg-tractor-supply-employee-dubois-recalls-pro-career-with-cubs/article_3788d183-f82c-56d9-b089-09300c78a0a6.html

6/22 How bad can the offense get?
David replied to UMFan83's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Vogelbach for Mike Montgomery. wtf -
yeah, but only one guy really did that. and i almost spat out my drink when i saw the idea. it seems especially silly given that they didn't even play there until the 70s.
-
what? no.
-
Wrigley Field, in its current form, looks great from the outside. What?
-
i don't recall hearing that at all

I don't care if they are good. They aren't winning the World Series good and if you aren't going to sign Baez or Bryant or Rizzo, trade them all with Kimbrel before July 1. There is good regular season baseball and there is good playoff baseball. Just like when the Cubs beat up on the Mets in 2015 and got hammered in the playoffs because the Mets have better starting pitching. this is certainly a take.
