Kahnle to Tigers . Movement on relievers today . Maybe Robertson signs soon .
-
Cubs need to be in on Michael King . Under 9 mil salary .
-
In a scenario Where they sign Bregman and trade Nico , the net gain for the team is what they get for Nico most likely . I dont think it will come into play , as the Cubs arent signing him anyway .
-
If he wants another year , i wouldnt do it . 36 and in decline , no thanks
-
If he says yes , i would like to see the Cubs double down with Robertson as well . With that said i am not sure they can fit him in : Pressly , Hodge , Morgan , Merryweather , Pearson , Miller / Thielbar / Rea I dont think they are cutting Merryweather , so the only way i could see Robertson is if Assad and Brown start in AAA , and they use a piggy of Rea / Pearson for the 5th spot .

The other team involved with Pressly is the Tigers . I wish Bregman signs today , so we dont have to hear the same Cubs stuff every 3 days . Cubs arent signing Bregman
-
Looks like Bob May have jumped the gun here , but anyway . If the deal happens , my Guess is Keegan Thompson or Canario . With the signing of Berti , they have no space for Canario . They need a 1B on this roster and Thompson is out of options and likely DFA anyway when they add another reliever
-
Cubs close to aquiring Ryan Pressley
-
They are still favorites to win the división as of now , but yeah its been underwhelming even with Tucker . Doesnt feel like they did enough to maximize Tucker’s remaining year . I know off season isnt over , but even with a Finnegan and a bench bat , i expected more .
-
With Yates signing with the Dodgers , my preference now is Robertson . With that said , Dodgers will probably sign him as well
-
Kirby Yates to Dodgers . They probably use him in long relief .
-
Nightendale story said payroll will be 220 for 2025 . That includes deadline . With that said , they are currently at 180 according to that same story . Roster resource has them at 198 , and that seems to be the number everybody is using .
-
Scott to Dodgers . Market should get moving now
-
As expected , signs with Dodgers . 4 / 72
-
So earlier today Ricketts said he expected payroll around the 241 luxury tax . Tonight Nightendale wrote a story and said the Cubs 2025 payroll will be 220 . He got the into from a high rank team source which is really weird . If they are at 198 currrently , they really got like 12-15 left , considering they keep 5-10 for in season moves. If Nightendale source is right , then Ricketts lied earlier today .

Ricketts said the team expects to spend around the 241 . If true that they are still 43 million under . That should give him around 33 for what is left to do this off season . Thats more than enough to get a closer and two bench bats .
-
Very unlikely . I think he goes to the Dodgers . I hope the Cubs get Yates or Robertson .
-
If they have the money for it , i could see a trade for Cease . He will make like 13.75 next year . If the Padres feel Cassie is ready to play LF , i wouldnt be surprised if it happens . One of Assad / Wicks would probably need to go as well . If they cant trade for a top SP , then i prefer adding the best 2 relievers they can get on 1 year deals . With that said its entirely possible all they do from this point on is Kyke Finnegan and a 3B .

Cubs Meeting With Japanese Ace Roki Sasaki

Mike Rodríguez says Cubs are out . -
I disagree . I think Hoyers status very much could be a factor in a decisión like this . A Tucker extensión would be the biggest payroll commitment for the next 8-10 years . I have a hard time believing Ricketts would allow a guy that he isnt sure will be the president in 2025 , make that important decisión . I think they would want , the longterm payroll as clear as possible , for a potencial new front office to work with .
-
Rogers was on ESPN 1000 and said Sasaki is now visiting cities , and hasnt heard he is visiting Chicago . Put the Cubs on the back of those conversations .
-
Lindor agreed with the Mets before extending . Betts agree before extending . I think its more likely than they arent interested in an extensión and they are trying to save every possible dollar for 2025. . Hoyer doesnt even have a contract for next year . I doubt very much that he has the green light to do this kind of deal I think its a bad look for the organización TBH .
