    Looks like Mariners are out on Ohtani .
  2. Dfan25
    David Kaplan follows that Devine guy . I am not saying he is legit , but if someone like Kaplan follows him , who knows ? Anyway with Ohtani wanting to keep things secret , it’s going to be really boring until he signs .

    Surprised they protected 3 guys and the 40 man is full now . Maybe they plan to non tender some guys , but I doubt it , or they don’t plan to make a move for a while . I think it’s too early for a big trade , but you never know .

    If the Mariners put Woo on the offer , I think the Cubs will have a difficult time matching that . I think Woo has a higher ceiling than any of the Cubs pitchers with the exception of Horton . Just my opinion . Brown has a high ceiling but I take Woo over him . Woo already in the big leagues .

    Watched a video of the Morosi report and after saying that geography maybe won’t be as important this time , he says a team like the Cubs .
  6. Dfan25
    Looks like Ohtani is expected to sign before the start of the winter meetings . That’s a bit surprising . Thought he would sign at the winter meetings . Cubs will have plenty of time to pivot
  7. Dfan25
    According to Mooney and Sharma , the Cubs view Hoskins as a good fit for the roster . Not really surprising . I think the chances of this one happening are really high .
  8. Dfan25
    Who said they will offer a short term average deal ? They could offer 10 / 400 and still be outbid by a wide margin . I have seen he could get 450 even 500 . I just don’t see the Cubs doing those kind of numbers if it gets to that point .

    I think it was reported when Ohtani came to the states than the Cubs really impressed him with their presentation , but the problem the Cubs had was that there was no DH in the national league . It’s possible Ohtani likes the Cubs , but at the end i dont think they will come close enough with the money . As Sharma wrote they will likely get outbid by a wide margin

    George Ofman is saying the Cubs are looking into Kyle Gibson ( why ? ) and bringing back Candelario
  11. Dfan25
    Don’t think they will get Ohtani or Yakamoto . My guess is they will sign the lefty Japanese ( Imanaga ) ? A couple of relievers at 5 AAV , Hoskins on a 1 year deal to play 1B and trade for Soto
  12. Dfan25
    Cubs are one of the teams in on Yamamoto per Heyman .
  13. Dfan25
    Rogers also said that he thinks the chances of Ohtani signing with the Cubs are higher than Bellinger coming back . Also mentioned that maybe they could sign Matt Chapman because they need a 3B .
  14. Dfan25
    FWIW Jesse Rogers was just on ESPN 1000 and said he thinks the Cubs will seriously pursue Ohtani . They seriously want him and they won’t just pursue for show . He also said he thinks their main plan for SP are the Japanese ones .
  15. Dfan25
    Shocking move to start the offseason . I think Ross is pretty bad as a manager but didn’t think Hoyer would have the balls to replace him this offseason . Counsel is one of the best if not the best manager in baseball . Great move by the Cubs . In terms of what this means for this offseason and going all in ? Hard to tell . After all Counsel is getting a record deal for a manager .Cubs will go over the LT for sure but how much above it it’s the big question .
  16. Dfan25
    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 .
  17. Dfan25
    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 .
  18. Dfan25
    The obvious fit considering the roster is signing Ohtani and trading for Alonso . Not going to happen but it makes so much sense ..
  19. Dfan25
    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 .
  20. Dfan25
    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
  21. Dfan25
    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 .
  22. Dfan25
    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 .
  23. Dfan25
    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
  24. Dfan25
    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 .
  25. Dfan25
    I love for them to target Skubal , but I doubt the Tigers move him
