Hoyer starting to ramp up now, these were the guys he was talking to during the meeting. 🙄🙄🙄
-
I think with looking to add a couple pitchers and probably bench depth, Hoyer only looking to add one guy with a salary of 15-20 mil and that will likely be used on a SP, and then spread the remaining of whatever cutoff he wants to be at under the Threshold on the rest.
-
With all the Suarez available to get this offseason, Hoyer will even fail to grab one of them 😅😅😅
-
Hoyer adding those cheap depth arms for the pen
-
I never expect much out of winter meetings, I just think baseball offseason is boring when it comes to transactions because most if the big transactions don't really happen til 2-3 months after the season over. As far as the Cubs and this offseason goes, im not expecting much from them outside of maybe adding a decent SP.
-
Hoyers greatest offseason accomplishment... 😅
-
Cubs leave the meetings the same as they entered.....
-
Saw Ortiz was listed as a reliever too, maybe they're gonna work on his pitching 🤷♂️
-
Read that they might of had a team pick someone early in draft to set up a trade with them, so we'll see if that happened. They did choose 3 guys in the minor league portion of the draft. RHP Adam Stones from Yankees RHP Zane Mills from Cardinals 3B Devin Ortiz from Padres
-
That probably why the Cubs wont get him
-
Probably looking at him as being Imanaga replacement after this season, probably offer him the same type of contract Imanaga had gotten
-
Im not pushing for him either, especially if he looking for 5+ years at 30+ per. I think at age 32, and the leg injury history, i don't want to see them risk that kind of commitment on him
-
Theyll overpay someone
-
Listening to Hoyer and Counsell response when asked about the position players, sure sounds like theyre just gonna stick to who they have at all positions. I guess it wouldn't really be shocking if they just went with Amaya, Busch, Hoerner, Swanson, Shaw, Happ, PCA, Caissie, and Suzuki. Kelly, Ballesteros, Kingery or Long and add a LH utility bat Feels like pitching is their main focus, especially the bullpen
-
Pretty much what I was expecting them to do this offseason
-
Whitesox Rays Twins get the top 3 draft picks
-
Nevermind..
-
Good way to get a bullpen arm or a bench player at low cost, and if they don't work out then it just 50K to return him
-
Any rule 5 players Cubs could be interested in? Guessing Hoyer could look onto adding a pitcher or two here
-
Dodgers and Yankees swim in the Ocean while everyone else chooses lakes and ponds, been this way forever
-
Dodgers already have 12 guys under contract for 2027 worth over 275 mil 😅😅
-
I think It a little better, but maybe a bit on the older side. I think pitching is and should be Hoyer main focus for this offseason, I would love to see him add a solid SP to help solidify a rotation going forward after this season with Steele and Horton. I also think theyll add a bat or two, just dont think itll be someone big, but like you said someone in the tiers below like Bohm.
-
But Heyman said yesterday the Cubs were interested.. lol Good for Schwarbs being able to stay in Philly.
-
If they're bringing in a 30 mil dollar bat, wouldn't that be because they're looking to make a playoff push and wouldn't Nico be a big part of that push for them? Especially since his replacement would be Shaw who is still questionable with the bat, which could turn 2B into a revolving door of players. I dont know, I just have a feeling we're not going to see any real major additions this offseason, especially with position players, maybe a SP if they do add someone of significant, but i think they're going to ride out 2026 with the position players they have and the ready prospects like Mo and Caissie and wait til next off season when they'll have more money from the expiring contracts and a new CBA to work off of and potentially a better group of FA to go after.

Hmmmm 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
