I want nothing to do with Rodon.
-
Lol, what a deal
-
How on earth is that better than Arlington Heights?
-
I have to keep reminding myself that this team probably still isn't that good, but being 3-0 with a roster chock full of promising talent at most positions is a pretty nice place to be right now. How many weeks you think CMC misses?

The betting market isn’t even offering him at 250:1 to win, so I don’t think he’s a realistic candidate. Max Scherzer is -260 Forgot about Scherzer, he’s a shoo-in. I don’t think Wainright wins but he would be “a” front runner I’d imagine, along with Max, Walker and Julio. Dodger rotation as usual is pretty filthy. As of today: Scherzer -285 Burnes +195 Buehler +1600 Wheeler +3000 Woodruff +5500 DeGrom/Nola/Gausman/Urias/Musgrove/Wainwirght +10000

It’s preseason, the totals in these games are like 36

If Alzolay's dong problem is a mirage, he's a #2/#3 starter. If it's not he's a #4/#5. That's a huge swing for deciding where to allocate resources on the offseason shopping list. I agree with most of what you're saying but I firmly believe that getting two top-flight starters is the most efficient and obtainable path to quick contention for this team, regardless of what Adbert is or what he may become. A rotation of, say, Rodon Stroman Hendricks Alzolay Mills keeps the Cubs in a lot of games, and the farm is untouched. If Adbert figures out his changeup to lefties and becomes a real #2, then they're in the playoffs almost certainly. After the AS break the lineup is Madrigal 2B Hoerner SS Contreras C Davis CF Ortega RF Happ LF Wisdom 3B Schwindel 1B Hermosillo DH Now you trade for a bat or two if necessary at the deadline. Not even sure where to start with this: 1) Why would anyone think signing Rodon is a good idea? 2) If you think that rotation/lineup is "almost certainly in the playoffs" or "need a bat to get in" then the Ricketts' have you exactly where they want you. That is an utterly garbage team.
-
Montgomery Inn in general is solid Agreed
-
Fun (?) fact: Hermosillo was committed to Illinois for football before being drafted/signing.
-
the writer for that article calls it "Soldier Fields". ughh... I wonder how he pronounces "IllinoiS" Probably just a mistake from typing Justin "Fields" so much.
-
I would guess top 4 team in the East. Butler gets a lot of what you get from DeRozan offensively (imo) but is monumentally better defensively (or at least was when he was on the Bulls, I assume its still good). Bulls would still have depth issues but would be pretty solid imo. Well yeah, and they wouldn’t have Lavine

And the Kimbrel return -
Pujols in particular looked way overmatched. Dude looks incredibly out of shape.

Ernie Banks?

Scouts say he can’t play LT, but who knows I guess -

FanDuel odds of Bears next pick: OL (-160) WR (+250) CB (+600) Safety (+600) DL (+750) LB (+1600) RB (+5000) TE (+6000) QB (+25000) K/P/Snapper (+25000) -
Vegas will be a tough ticket considering it will be the first year for fans. Tampa seems tough as well considering they are reigning champs and just hosted the Superbowl. Didn't have a full stadium last year and may be those fans last chances to see Tom Brady. And horsefeathers tons of Bears fans have houses in the Tampa/Ft Myers area.
-
You don't think they're eyeing that extra year by keeping him down til May?Sure, a lot of momentum working against having the best team available coming out of spring training in a year where they really need to get off to a good start. I don’t think a decision like this moves the needle much on getting off to a good start or not.
-
I think attitude/toughness played a role here
-
Wagner not gonna last long as a Bull -- trying to flip for Daniel Theis
-
I don’t think it’s even close.
-
Why risk injury? Even though he’s one dimensional, he’ll get drafted and make some money and develop his game at the next level. Is he a 1st round material? I'm not 100% sure he is talent/skills-wise right now, but you also can't teach height and size so... :dontknow: Only 1st round pick contract is guaranteed IIRC. He needs to stay another year and work on expanding on his skill set IMO. Absolute zero chance he's 1st Round
-
He’d be a fool to stay. Why though? He isn't getting drafted high, if at all. Sure he could go to G-League or Europe, but he could also stay and start making money on his likeness. Granted, I still think he's leaning towards leaving, but it's not as closed as some may think.

Not guaranteed that Kofi is gone either.
