Was hoping he opted out TBH . While the overall work was good , he was kind of a mixed bag IMO. Awful early during his 1st year , then really good . This year great early on and completely awful late . Injuries are becoming more of an issue as he gets older . Much needed LT space opens up. Hopefully Smyly wants to start and they have told him no , so he opts out as well . From Stroman perspective he has probably found enough interest already that he thinks a multi year deal is possible . Another possibility is he thought the Cubs would trade him and he could end up somewhere he didn’t like .
-
IDK how much Interest the O’s would have in a Stroman for Santander trade , but I think Santander would be a good fit for the Cubs . One arbitration year left and could be used at 1B / DH .

Going somewhere, Soto? Yes, to the Yankees

The obvious fit considering the roster is signing Ohtani and trading for Alonso . Not going to happen but it makes so much sense .. -
Dodgers are the perfect example of how difficult it is to win the World Series . They have been to the playoffs for what 12 straight years now ? Amazing that they only have 1 ring to show for it . In Danger of getting eliminated early again .
-
Brewers 3 outs from elimination . It will be interesting to watch what they do this offseason . Burnes and Woodruff have 1 year left . Williams 2 expensive years . Counsel may leave . Adames has 1 year left as well
-
Alonso seems like a more realistic possibility to me than Soto . Soto is a difficult fit for this roster . Happ and Suzuki won’t be moved to DH and Soto won’t be a DH . Soto isn’t playing 1B anytime soon . The Alonso rumors aren’t coming only from Chicago guys . I read that Morosi said Cubs and Mariners will be 1st in line if and when Alonso is put on the block .
-
Jesse Rogers thinks the Cubs will be looking at big trades this offseason . Alonso on radar and added that Alonso wants to come to the Cubs FWIW .
-
Please stay away from Matt Chapman . Yes he can play elite defense , but he isn’t what this team needs on offense . If they are spending 20+ million on a position player , let it be a true star
-
I think the arbi guys will cost about 6 mil . That takes them to 72 . Of those 72 take 5-10 for in season moves and you have in reality between 62-67 to use before the start of the season . Stroman is staying That’s why o said earlier a lot less money available than what we thought before this season started .
-
I love for them to target Skubal , but I doubt the Tigers move him
-
They are not spending on Ohtani . Fangraphs has them at 158 million with the LT not counting the 6 arbi elegible guys . The 1st tier of the luxury tax will be 237 next year but I would imagine they separate 5-10 for in season moves . Not as much money available compared to what we thought they would have when the 23 season started. They will need to make several trades IMO. Thats assuming Rickets will allow them to go near the LT which is far from a guarantee. Not too long ago Rosenthal said next years budget would be determined by how they finish the year . After this epic collapse , Ricketts May decide to cut payroll
-
Rea is making them look silly This team is completely broken . Hard to believe that they are going out like this . The marlins could lose all 3 and they probably still don’t catch them .
-
I personally like Kapler . Would fire Ross for him but in reality Ross job is safe . Hoyer seems to love him for whatever reason
-
For me the Cubs are 1 game out , I am counting the suspended game as a Marlins win . I don’t think it’s impossible that the Pirates take 2 of 3 this weekend but the Cubs aren’t sweeping the Brewers . They can’t beat anybody right now . Looking at payrolls the Cubs will have less than 70 million to work with next offseason due to dead money , options that will get pick by players , buyouts and arbitration elegible players . Considering all their needs they will need to make several trades IMO to be a playoff team next year . Needs 1 impact SP 2 impact bats 3,relievers
-
Per Jesse Rogers The game will continue on Monday
-
This is just embarrassing Enough of this horsefeathers show for me .
-
Assad was used on 2 days rest after throwing close to a 100 pitches and after 1 day off he is going at it again. Poor guy
-
Yeah that’s more like it . If they are going to lose , just get pounded early . It’s sucks but not as much as losing late
-
The defense is just comical
-
Time off didn’t do anything for Stroman . Looks like the same pitcher getting hammered
-
Still checking the Dbacks ?
-
All I am saying is that if Cubs are going to lose , the Braves should score 6 early instead of the scoring late thing . It’s a lot easier to take when they get blown out early
-
You don’t think this particular game is on him ? How about throwing a guy that has been completely worthless for more than a month to protect a lead in the 9th? Why on earth would you pitch to the guy that keeps getting hit after hit in that situation with a base open ? This guy need to be horsefeathers fired . Has cost the Cubs more than 3 games with his stupidity .
-
Reality is that this team is awful and has been awful for a while . They don’t deserved to make the playoffs . Ross need to be fired
-
And Ross pitches to Albies . This is insane
