    I should have just looked it up first but that surprises me.

    Rooker extends for 5/60 with a 6th year option. I hope they put a decent team around him soon. I just love the story.
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    Lux has more control, no?
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    His refusal to add through FA is why the roster is paper thin. Most of his picks haven't hit and he relied on almost exclusively building through the draft and we have paid the consequence with a OL that could not support our franchise rookie QB and an almost non-existent pass rush.

    They flawlessly pulled it off with Johnny Knox a decade ago in a critical moment of a critical game and the horsefeathers zebras threw a flag on a phantom penalty

    This was a borderline playoff team that fell victim to horrible planning by the GM who had horrible coaches forced upon him by horrible ownership and upper-management. Such a slap in the fans faces, Props to Caleb for surviving 17 games through that horsefeathers. Please cut about 25 sacks at least off for next year. Work all offseason on your horrendous accuracy also please. Don't trade Moore or Johnson. Feature Kmet more. Get the absolute best edge you can to complement Sweat. Trade for veteran IOL if you can.

    Jenkins is gonna be another Columbo. Stay healthy and get some PB nods and be a top 10 G after his Bears career is done.

    You can't read your own posts. So I guess we identified the problem. It's amazing how all these new folks are 100% certain they know exactly what the Cubs plans are. Its really not that amazing when you use the same playbook for many years the fans know all the moves .
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    So who the hell are the new folks... .besides you?
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    You literally registered 2 weeks ago. Are you calling these posters new fans? You dont know jack about anyone here and just because you were around to witness a trade 60 years ago doesnt give you any more cred.

    Flaherty is projected to land a three-year, $63 million deal this offseason by Spotrac. It's unclear where he will go, but MLB.com's Mark Feinsand said the Cubs are "in the mix" for him. Teams arent going to offer this dude a 9 figure contract given hes thrown about 150 good innnings in the last 5 years.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    I predicted Flaherty would get 3/60 and I'm sticking to it. There is just not a big enough track record to give him 25 AAV IMO. But the upside is worth it and I hope Jed is in to the end.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    I don't care about not getting this guy but the Dodgers are freaking obnoxious.
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    One of the most disproportionate bats I've ever seen used. The dude was a toothpick but for some reason favored using an oak tree at the plate. You wonder how he might have hit with a smaller bat from the jump.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Dude the combine hasn't even happened yet. The mocks are gonna change. Some players will rise, some will fall. It happens every year. I'd stop obsessing over it at the moment.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Well the options are pretty friggin slim to spend that money on. Flaherty is the last SPFA of interest who would command 20+, theyve shown no interest in Scott. Theres maybe a few trades that can be made but the smoke is thin as incense. Ive laid out a blueprint to bring in some real quality pitching and they are seemingly showing no interest in most of those guys. Where the horsefeathers are they gonna spend this money realistically? Every article is also pessimistic on making an effort on Tucker. Im feeling really uneasy. The Thielbar move is actually a good one and I see the logic and the upside. But it sure feels like Jed is not interested in the guys who would take up that money.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    This feels like Minter isnt happening
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    I disagree. I've not seen him develop a rapport with 2 pro-bowl receivers, a pro-bowl caliber TE has been laregely invisible, he takes more sacks to take potential points off the board than anyone in the league, anyone we've ever seen, and it's repeating the same mistakes over and over. It's pretty easy to question his training and studying habits.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    I cannot believe how many sacks he's taken and the fact that he hasn't relinquished any time to Bagent lol He has to get so much better at reading the rush and throwing receivers open. His accuracy is awful and he hasn't been on page with his guys all year. That makes me question his leadership and effort. I guess I have some meathead tendencies still but there's a lot to question.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Start teaching Seiya and Canario. Use them in a pinch. Spend all of the money on pitching. I actually kind of like both of these guys though.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Its horsefeathers that we are in this position. With the resources weve had at our disposal over the last 3 years we should be ascending and we're not. Poles skipping FA for 2 years really horsefeathered us and i would fire him for that. Warren has been a total dud and should be fired too. McCaskey should fire them both and hire Johnson and hire who he wants as GM.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    It's like karma came back for the Cubs manipulating his service. Injuries and covid cut him down to basically 6 seasons. I hope he makes a comeback but his injuries/back are really bad. It doesn't appear to be in the cards. A top 5 all-timer for me. I remember following his senior year and then we were basically giving up-to-the-minute updates on his minor league contact rate as he hit a HR every other day. The debates around his bust-ability waged on and every time he was promoted he would throw up a golden sombrero lol. Dude was a plug-&-play All-Star and made the final putout of the WS. Just storybook all the way.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    I don't remember much about this season at all. We moved from IL to FL in the summer of 95 and I didn't get WGN down there. Basically became more of a Braves fan until Wood and Sosa in 98, when we moved to CA and got WGN again. That is amazing clutch shown by Sosa, holy horsefeathers.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Met with the White Sox also

    The Tucker trade happened for a multitude of reasons: 1) It's a chance to add a 8-9 win player based on last year's pace and that would be enough to swing the division in our favor, for less-than-half of what the market would likely pay him. 2) Matt Shaw 3) Jed's on his final season and that probably allowed him to work a little more loosely with his prospects and a division crown probably keeps him in charge. 4) Paredes was a bad fit but had really high value to offset the prospect cost
