I don’t think Imai is getting 8 / 190 . However , I think the Cubs will likely top out at 6 / 138 ( 23 on AAV ) . Would that be enough ? Doubt it .
-
The info that’s coming out on Imai makes no sense whatsoever . So we are 13 days away from his deadline with Christmas and new year in the middle of that . He hasn’t visit any teams yet , and doesn’t have any schedule visits . That’s super weird . Has to be complete BS .
-
Not so sure a trade will be an option after that Baz trade . General opinion on it that I have read , is that it was a big price . .
-
Maybe he did at some point , but I do remember him during the winter meetings saying Tucker to the Cubs smoke was real . Thing with Rogers is that sometimes I am not sure if what he says is his opinion or based on what he is hearing . I do think he is reliable with the info he gets .
-
Jesse Rogers commenting on King / Imai and the Cubs . Doesn’t sound all that optimistic about Imai
-
Yeah , and they seem to be penny pinching as well , to get to that point . How sad would that be .
-
I think that Bob Nightendale tweet about Gallen and the Cubs will end up right Multi year at 22 per year .
-
Interesting , Phillies are a big threat however
-
Any hope of him deciding before Christmas ?
-
Saving every dollar for that 5 year deal with Zac Gallen
-
If the Cubs aren’t going to sign King, then my preference is that he signs with the Yankees . That’s the team that’s been connected to Imai the most lately . King takes them out of that I would think . Don’t see the Red Sox pivoting to Imai . If the Yankees sign King , that would leave the Orioles and Phillies as the main competition most likely . I am saying this , because it does look like there is smoke about King signing relatively soon .

Yeah , considering that from December 24th , until January 2nd , it’s basically a dead period , I would expect a flurry of moves until the 23rd . I have some hope that Imai makes his decision before the holidays . For that to happen however , he probably would need to have a couple of finalist already and probably make visits this week . Seems unlikely
-
Of the rumored targets , Zac Gallen and Ryne Stanek follow Tyler Zombro on instagram . There you go Cubs are signing Gallen and Stanek 😁
-
Regardless of what happens , it’s nice to finally see and hear about movement on the SP market
-
Will Sammon and Heyman follow this account btw . No mention of the Cubs. Maybe he is just focused on the AL east teams with his mentions , so let’s see what happens
-
The Korean 3B deadline is also in the coming week I believe .
-
That Kelly deal smells like trouble for the Cubs and their limited budget . If a 37 year old is getting 20 per year , the chances of the them getting a top tier SP went down in my opinion .
-
I don’t think they have any money left for a significant pen add. It’s something like Stanek and a bunch of Collin Snyder ‘s from this point on , if they are willing to do one more guarantee .
-
There’s some noise coming out of a Japan about the Yankees interest in Imai . 2 reports in the last 24 linking them . When does Hoyer drop out of the bidding ? When it reaches 23 on AAV ? Only positive is if Imai goes to NYY , takes them out on King , but Kings market seems robust as well .
-
Not upset because of Suarez . I am upset about Williams . 5 years younger than Suarez and signed for only 3 with deferrals . On top of that , his preference was to sign with the Cubs . I guess I can take it if they end up with Imai and to a lesser degree King . If they end up with Gallen however , I will punch Hoyer in the face
-
According to Levine , the Cubs made a 3 year offer to Devin Williams and his preference was to sign with the Cubs . They just didn’t approach 51 million 😂
-
Yeah , Imai is going to be costly folks . I think he goes for something like 150 for 6 and with the posting fee it will be around 175 . I do think he is their priority right now . Despite reports that he is meeting with teams next week , Boras said yesterday there are no visits schedule . They need to narrow the list before doing visits . Hopefully he won’t wait until the very end of the deadline
-
Alonso to the Orioles . Makes Bregman to the Cubs less of a possibility IMO .
