  1. The deadline for Sasaki is in January, can he make his decision before the deadline or does it have to be after ? Just wondering because if Hoyer is actually going to make a legit offer for him, he probably won't be making any FA offers or trade offers for a SP until he knows about Sasaki right ?
  2. All the Yankees Bellinger trade talk that made it seem like it was close, im wondering if it wasn't close at all, only because if it was you'd think that deal would of been made by now considering the Yankees aren't getting Tucker now and that was supposedly the hold up as far as if Yankees got him or not.
  3. I believed he could play 3B too when I was saying they should trade Paredes and everyone said I was crazy 😅
  4. If Bellinger has to be traded, I would like to see him go to the Phillies for Bohm. Then use Hoerner to get a SP and start Shaw at 2B.
  5. Seems like the Tucker trade is waiting on the Bellinger trade to be completed, and money is the issue with the Bellinger trade. Hoyer likely wants the Yankees to take majority to all of Bellinger money so they can make additional moves
  6. Cubs should just sign Bregman and trade for Tucker 🤷‍♂️😅 Ooops..lol
  7. I dont think he'll risk trading Shaw, Caissie, or Horton for a player with no guarentee of extending pass 1 year. If you trade any of those 3, it better be for a player that gonna be around a couple seasons
  8. That how I approach the offseason and trade deadline with Hoyer, low expectations for them to actually get star quality players. I was surprise they got Imanaga and I'll be surprise if they actually get Tucker, or anyone of that quality this offseason.
  9. Exactly why this trade won't happen if the Astros are looking to get any of the cubs top 3 prospects, Hoyer not going to trade away their best prospects on a 1 year rental with no guarentee of extending him.
  10. Winter meeting over, cubs only added a rule 5 guy ans as always are in a bunch of rumors on players. Let see if anything actually gets done before the Hollidays
  11. I'm gonna guess it Sasaki or noone
  12. Cubs just added a bench player I'm guessing. https://x.com/M_Montemurro/status/1866926239497461765?t=k85R3bCOUVch3LfwnRtLjg&s=19
  13. Suzuki threw a wrench in Hoyer's plans, he was focused on moving Bellinger and his money 27 mil, now it likely going to be Suzuki and his 19 mil. That could be 8 mil less to spend and different players in return now.
  14. Rizzo looks to be going to the Pirates
  15. Like I was saying before, they can trade Paredes and play Shaw at 3B, he was playing there during winter league tournament.
  16. I didn't say he's a mess, I said the roster was a mess and has no real direction right now. They have an obvious need of upgrading the offense but have every position tied to a contract or team control, and the only players being rumored in deals right now are possibly their better offensive hitters in Suzuki, Bellinger, and Hoerner(Mariners). Their two top offensive prospects in Shaw and Caissie may not be quite ready but are as of now blocked. I dont believe there are many options to improve on who they already have via FA outside of Santander and Alonso, plus adding them would mean trading one of their current better hitter so improving the offense in minimal at best. The only other options would be to trade for an upgrade with their top prospects while also trading one or more of their better hitters to make room for the new addition(s). Again they're needing to trade one or two of their better hitter to make room plus trading their better prospects to gain minimal improvement on offense at best.
  17. Remember when I said Suzuki could waive his NTC..lol Hoyer has a mess going on right now with his roster, there really is no direction with this team. Just a bunch of average players under contract/control, their probable best 2 hitters looking to be traded now, and no place to play their top prospects.
  18. Jesse Rogers says there's some smoke with Cubs and Astros for a Kyle Tucker trade. This would be huge if they are planning on trading Bellinger
  19. That what I'm saying, I don't think the Mets with Soto is better or same as the Yankees roster. Probably should of worded better, i just dont see the mets roster, especially their current rotation being all that great.
  20. Is the Mets roster any better now then the Yankees was with Soto ? I dont think so, I doubt Soto opts out after 5 years, I just see this as the Mets just kinda screwed themselves if they don't win a WS in next couple seasons because they won't be able to unload that salary.
  21. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/12/cody-bellinger-trade-rumors-cubs-yankees-mariners-astros.html If the Cubs do trade Bellinger, are we looking at Suzuki in RF and getting another bat for DH or a bridge in RF until Caissie is ready ? Does Alcantara get an opportunity ? Soto has multiple 600 mil offers being reported, and I doubt the cubs get into that bidding war.
  22. Isnt he injured alot ? I think if I'm giving up top prospects I'd prefer to trade them for someone that hasn't had injury history
  23. Anyone think the Cubs would try to bid for Hyeseong Kim tomorrow?
