I thought there was a thread on this, but I couldn't find it Brett hinted at this earlier [tweet] [/tweet] MLBTR had those pretty much pegged (at least, combined)
-
Gase to interview for the head coaching position in Philly

This just occurred to me and I'm curious as to whether anyone else remembers anything about this. I think it was Benito Santiago in 1999...he briefly got a player profile or something like that before the signing was announced. EDIT - I will gladly delete this stupid thread as soon as ONE person confirms. SSR, I'm looking at you... -
I know it's been done before years ago, but I was bored at work and did this. post your results 201/225 i had a surprisingly hard time remembering some of the trash of the last few years especially. will be sweet when 2016's is up there. http://www.sporcle.com/games/htimsetan/cubs_opening_day_lineups

Molina's first operation on his thumb didn't take and Grichuk had sports hernia surgery. Grichuk isn't expected to miss any time. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/12/yadier-molina-randal-grichuk-surgery.html

Nice pickup for them.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/audio/mully-and-hanley-show/ You can listen to it at the link above...hour 4 of yesterday's show. Otherwise, CCO has a nice transcript: http://chicagocubsonline.com/archives/2015/12/tom-ricketts-talks-cubs-on-670-the-score.php More at the link

This poll occurred to me as I was looking for a thread to post the Ricketts radio appearance from yesterday in. Obviously, this is a pretty good time to be a Cubs fan, so I've got a pretty good guess as to how this poll will ultimately end up, but I'm wondering how people overall feel about ownership now after about 6 years. There's been plenty of (deserved) criticism of the Ricketts ownership (and support) on this board, and there have been several missteps (why the [expletive] was Hendry kept around so long? the renovation stuff was a clown show early on, etc.), but given how ecstatic we all are to be where we are now, with a kick ass young team beyond any of our wildest expectations, a kick ass front office, and soon to be kick ass facilities (some of which are already here), how does everybody feel about our creepy Ted Cruz lookalike overlord's tenure? Are you glad the Ricketts family owns the Cubs and are you satisfied with what they've done with the franchise over their first 6 years and the direction they are headed? P.S. Obviously, a lot of these improvements were long overdue and any ownership group would have pursued them, but it's still so nice to finally see them coming to fruition after decades worth of stagnation.

Fully copping to stealing this post from GRB's Fat Strat, quotes and all... http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/mozeliak-says-cards-no-longer-looking-for-dynamic-signing/article_0fc30cae-22ef-594a-9561-a911b7019a9e.html Gordon -- not an option Upton -- might be an option if his market falls significantly

Jesse Rogers says we're targeting Lucroy, apparently.

Reviews look OK, but very few of them http://www.amazon.com/BiGR-Audio-xlmlbcc3-Headphones-Smartphones/dp/B00C1CBIUQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1449692386&sr=1-4&keywords=cubs+headphones EDIT - WHY ISNT THE LINK WORKING? http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81k0rXe-roL._SL1500_.jpg this is what they look like, since the link won't show up

Without knowing exactly how much we need to free up (which makes this tough, obviously), which of these scenarios would you prefer (so factoring in both who we are dumping and how much it frees up + how we have to replace them, if at all)? I'd operate under the assumption that these moves MIGHT return a little value, but will basically function as salary dumps without a significant 2016 impacting return. Pick a few guys if you want and explain below.

This'll make sneaky happy

Why wasn't there one of these already? So there's been talk of the Cubs being interested, possibly more interested than in Price. There was also that report that Greinke probably won't be back in LA because of a stance against guys with a certain amount of innings logged or something, but that's probably just posturing. Some of the rumors surrounding him are summarized pretty well at this link http://chicagocubsonline.com/archives/2015/11/cubs-reportedly-may-prefer-zack-greinke-over-david-price.php But my real reason for making this thread is how hilarious it is to picture Greinke in one of Rizzo's disco parties

Don't know what my opinion is. Not really one of our positions of need so it means a lot of other moving parts and I'd have to know what that all entails.

This was going to happen. Might as well start now, especially with FA starting tonight. As Gilby pointed out last night in that other thread: http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/buster-olney/insider/post?id=11545 http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/hot-stove-league-free-agents-trade-candidates-david-price-zack-greinke-cespedes-heyward-110615

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/fangraphs-crowd-the-top-82-free-agents/ Some notables: Seems a tad light on Price...I figured he'd break $200M. I think Heyward will too.

http://i.imgur.com/yVToMi0.png This series will go a long way toward determining home field in the wild card game and will also be the weekend we clinch. Dong away, dongsmiths. And pitch us to victory, dong preventers.
