    If we are going to go by what Sharma and Mooney are saying , Zac Gallen is not happening for the Cubs .
  2. Dfan25
    Orioles were one of the main teams on Gallen .

    Seems like the Red Sox are talking Duran with the Astros for Paredes but , the Astros don’t want to take any salary back in a Paredes trade . Interesting , they are also talking with the Pirates with Joey Bart involved . A 3 team trade is also a possibility , seems like . With that in mind I wonder if there is a way for the Cubs to get involved there ? Cubs get Duran , Red Sox get Paredes and the Astros get a pair of Cubs players .? I wonder if the Astros would be willing to give Alcantara a chance in LF ? If they are looking for a catcher , Amaya involved maybe ? Duran’s salary is 7.7 for this season , so if the Cubs were to get him they would still be way under the 2nd tier of the LT.

    Yeah , that maybe the case . At this point I don’t see him getting anything other than a short term with an opt out ot two . Really I don’t think waiting for Valdez will make him get a different type of deal . Seems like he is giving the Dbacks all the time possible to come up with the money . Money is a real issue for them however . They just got Arenado and Santana for like 7 mil combined I believe .

    A little update on Gallen , out of Arizona : If he truly wants to have a new team before ST , obviously running out of time
  6. Dfan25
    A lot of chatter about Cijntje and Peete going to St Louis . Nothing confirmed by any of the national reporters yet .
  7. Dfan25
    Suárez to Reds 1/15 with mutual option at 16 . Not thrilled to have him in the division with the amount of damage he does againts the Cubs . Boston has to get Paredes now , I would think
  8. Dfan25
    Hays was never all that likely to sign with the Cubs . Cubs simply don’t have the AB available . For that same reason Andujar will most likely go elsewhere as well . I suspect they are basically done with the roster , unless a creative deal with Gallen becomes realistic
  9. Dfan25
    Valdez isn’t a Boras guy . I believe Valdez agent is Dominican . With that said , it’s very possible Boras is waiting on the Orioles , before pushing the Gallen negotiations
  10. Dfan25
    Yeah , it has to be something creative for it to work for the Cubs
  11. Dfan25
    Cubs won’t go near the AAV , that would get a Valdez deal done . That would push them into the 2nd tier of the LT . I even doubt they would do Gallen on a 20 AAV TBH for LT reasons as well ) Also Gallen will probably seek an opt out after 1 as well . Giving up a pick , an opt out after 1 and getting into the LT 2nd tier ? Looks extremely unlikely IMO .
  12. Dfan25
    If Orioles sign Valdez , Cubs / Dbacks for Gallen ?

    Yeah , I mean if the assumption is that they won’t be able to add an impact starter at the deadline , considering what happened last year , then it makes a lot of sense to make another SP move now , if they are willing to make such a commitment in dollars .
  16. Dfan25
    I really don’t see a realistic bat that I would take over Ballesteros TBH . The bullpen is basically full as well . They have 1 spot open but I personally would leave that for 1 of the minor league signings or aaa pitchers ( Hodge ,among others ) This may sound nuts , but i wouldn’t mind Gallen now . Use a 6 man rotation until Steele gets back and then use the IL ( Dodger style ) to rest guys . Let’s face it Cabrera is a huge risk in terms of health , and prices for SP mid season are insane . Get another SP to protect against a key injury
  17. Dfan25
    Mets could still sign Valdez , but I think they have a great chance at Peralta
  18. Dfan25
    Huge blow to the Phillies . They have Turner / Harper / Schwarber , but idk about the rest . They also lost Suarez . Their window seems to be closing . I wonder if they go after Bellinger now ?
  19. Dfan25
    Mets quickly pivot to Bichette 3 year deal
  20. Dfan25
    Opt outs after years 2 and 3 , per Passan
  21. Dfan25
    60 AAV 😂 . I know the deferrals will come out at some point that will bring the value down , but still hilarious .
  22. Dfan25
    I read a lot of comments on x and other places of people who think Cubs should get Webb ( seriously ) . I wasn’t talking about this board
  23. Dfan25
    Just reading fans comments in other places . Giants fans think Luis Matos and Whisenhunt would get them Nico . Cubs fans are asking for Logan Webb 😂
  24. Dfan25
    I trade Nico for Tolle , Red Sox won’t .
  25. Dfan25
    Bregman’s expected to become oficial tomorrow , with a press conference on Thursday ( Nightendale )
