Cubs and Bregman today ????
-
Id love to see them upgrade to but yea, I think Kelly, Berti, Workman, and they'll likely start with Canario as the 4th OFer. Bench is always interchangeable all season and hardly the same from beginning to end of season, I just think theyll use their organization depth for now to start the season with, but i hope I'm wrong on that and grab someone that has some power and can be like a Zobrist type that can fit into the lineup anytime and contribute. A oart of me just think if they do spend anymore money of significant this offseason, it'll be on pitching as in another SP or bullpen upgrades.
-
I think theyre set with position players. I like to see them add another lefty to the bullpen, im not to high on Theilbar, hopefully he can find his 2022,23 form but at 38 it'll be tough. I just hope that if Hoyer doesn't add anyone of significant like a SP or another solid addition to the pen and stays 25+ under the Threshold heading into the season, he better not be bashful taking on money at the deadline that can help upgrade a position or two.

Mets are in discussion with Padres for Cease now. -
Scherzer going to Toronto

Would Hoyer really trade Hoerner or is Hoerner hurt more then they're letting on and don't expect him back for awhile?

Cubs "Aren't Done" Looking for Relief Arms
chibears55 replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Dodgers got Yates 1yr deal -
Im just guessing on money to get close to 20 mil spent, it definitely can be much less, especially if they do work out a trade for King. I think Hoyer could still be looking to add relievers, if not 2 then definitely 1. Merryweather and Pearson can be moved, maybe one gets added in, if they make a deal with the Padres.
-
They got down to 40, I was hoping there was a trade in the making to get there but I guess not. Starting to look the position players are set with the regular 9 with Shaw at 3B, and Kelly, Workman, Berti, and likely Canario as the bench. Right now they're about 33 under the Threshold, so if there's any more new additions, I'd be surprise if they spend more then 20-23 total, so I'm looking at 1 SP and 5mil or less reliever or 2 5+mil relievers.
-
I heard on radio this morning that they are in talks with the Padres on him. Getting him would be great, but that another good player they will spend assets on in a trade for 1 year(FA) of him.
-
Whichever way it goes, I think Hoyer done adding SP for now. I personally do prefer Assad in the bullpen and as a spot starter when needed, I think he's much better and helps the team more coming out of the pen.
-
Hoyer should get Andrew Chafin, he a LH that they need and would be the final piece for that bullpen. They definitely need a guy on the bench with power, i don't know how much more of an upgrade Workman and Berti are over Mastrobuoni and Wisdom, can't be much if any. I dont think Hoyer looking for another SP, I think he set with Assad at 5 and if needed Rea and other depth in AAA for now. He'll wait til the deadline to address a SP upgrade if needed, which is why if they stay 10+ mil under the threshold going into the season, I'll be ok with that only if they use it at the deadline to upgrade where needed to contend for and in playoffs.
-
Combined trades this offseason: Cubs get - Kyle Tucker, Ryan Pressly Astros get - Isaac Paredes, Cam Smith, Hayden Wesneski, Juan Bello With Tucker and Pressly being FA after the season, I hope we're not sitting here at this time next year with none of of these players on the roster. They gotta extend Tucker
-
Bullpen just got alot better, wouldn't mind seeing them add another lefty besides just having Theilbar.
-
I mean offers as in money or trade offers, I'm sure or hope he has their ear in letting them know he's interested or seeing if they're interested in making a deal.
-
I saw 14 mil

He'll definitely be waiving it to go back to Houston..lol

I dont see Hoyer as a "this is a guy we want no matter what type" and negotiate til it settled. I definitely don't see him having multiple offers on the table at once. He seems to me like a GM who if interested or gets a call, will make his offer and then just sit and waits til he gets a response back and see if they can work out an agreement with player A first before moving to player B, and i think it mainly because he has to make sure of the money part of the deal so he knows what he has available after each agreement.
-
That fine, he only here for 1 season. Hodge can work his way into that role as a set up guy and either take over later this season or next season.. Pressly just moves everyone else down a slot and probably knocks out Merryweather.

Wife wants him to stay home 😵💫😅
