    Hopefully this isnt a situation where they have to make a trade before a signing . I dont think Kelly will be there on the market too much lo longer . Its basically down to him in terms of catching options If they dont get Kelly , pretty good chance Thais will be the back up

    Levine says the Cubs arent looking to just get salary relief with Bellinger FWIW , and they arent willing to eat much money .

    Kaplan said he made some calls today and the Cubs are talking with the Sox about Crochet and with the Mariners about Luis Castillo .

    According to Levine Chafin / Yates / Carson Kelly and Danny Jansen on Cubs radar .

    There s enough smoke on this that i think Its going to happen after Soto signs . If what they are hoping for is unload the entire salary , then the Yankees are the best fit . They wont get anything back on this scenario though . Curious as to what they would do after because i dont think they are doing anything big on offense .

    It doesnt matter because the Cubs will go over again next year 🤣

    Congrats to the Cubs ownership . They just won the dork of the week award from Ken Rosenthal . Well deserved

    Not surprise at all . I do think that they are facing some sort of payroll cut . While it may not be big , it does have an impact . We have to remember that they dont use all available money in the off season . If they are facing a 10 mil or so cut then they would have like 40 left and when you factor the money for in season , then i wouldnt be surprised if they have closer to 30 available , ínstead of 50 . So far they have traded for a cheap reliever that pitched more like 4:00 era guy last season , sign two pre arbi deals with a couple guys out of options that some could argue should have been non tendered . Finally traded for a junk back up catcher candidate. The moves they are making point to an executive , who is facing payroll cut IMO . I think their best bet to try and compete, would be keeping Bellinger , trading for a cost control SP and signing Sasaki . Use the limited funds they have after that and get 1 or two real reliever s and a couple of bench bats .

    How much money left now ? 70 or so ?

    😂😂

    If Bellinger doesn’t opt out , they aren’t doing much on offense other than a catcher . I would expect a SP though and a couple of relievers . It’s going to be a really boring offseason .

    Taylor Rogers just got put on waivers by the Giants . He has 1 year left at 11 mil . If they will end over the tax this year , they should maybe put a claim on him ? A high leverage lefty is a need for 25.

    So a couple of days ago Sharma said it doesn’t look like the Cubs are going to sign Soto and today they mentioned Santander as a possible target . Can’t say that I am surprised . Santander depending on Bellinger opt out / catcher / 1 SP and 2 relievers will probably be the off-season plan IMO.

    Just got to make sure Neris player option vest in and we are saved .
  16. Dfan25
    World Series here we come

    This clown isn’t even good enough to know when he should stay under the LT . Going to be sweet when they stay under next season . Sad thing is his extension is probably at Ricketts desk already .
  18. Dfan25
    Looks like no one wants Neris on a 1 / 9 for 25 . Stuck with him , great
  19. Dfan25
    Hopefully they can trade Neris and Smyly and n the next couple of hours . Philly looking for a CF . Would love to move Bellinger , but that ain’t happening . Think they are making a mistake in not moving Taillon . I think he is an upper 3 ‘s low 4 ‘s era the next 2 years making 17 per . Not terrible but that money could be better used elsewhere .
  20. Dfan25
    I really don’t mind trading Morel . Even if he becomes a thing with the bat , he just had no future with Cubs .
  21. Dfan25
    Morel is gone
  22. Dfan25
    Ty Johnson and Biggie
  23. Dfan25
    Morel just has no position . Doesn’t surprise me they traded him .
  24. Dfan25
    Morel going to TB as part of the deal
  25. Dfan25
    It makes sense but it’s scary at the same time .
