    It either Suzuki or Happ that going to be moved if Bellinger returns and.... A. They plan on bringing in a plus bat B. If Caissie is expected to join them next season Unless of course Hoyer just returns everyone and hopes for the best again. We talk about how they need to add a plus bat or two to the lineup but balk at moving guys to make room for them.

    He could be the odd man out if Bellinger returns.

    Also joined the 50/50 club in which he is the only member

    Spotrac has them a million plus under still, who has them over ?
  5. chibears55
    Tigers are making a run for a WC spot AL central can have 3 teams in postseason, and have 4 of top 7 in AL best record. Fun to be able to beat up on the Whitesox 😅

    But I bet the over 84.5 😆 I also bet over Bellinger hitting 24 HRs and Cubs making playoffs. So, they were doomed from the start..lol

    Shows where my interest level is at now, I forgot the game was on 🤷‍♂️😆

    Yea, I don't get it, especially so early in game.

    Cubs needca dinger this inning

    I think the two prospects of the top 4 position players they'll likely trade may be Alcantara and Ballesteros. Caissie and Shaw are likely their guys they want as everyday players, when thatll start is the question. Why if they are looking to add a big bat or two in offseason for the lineup, somebody gotta go, especially if Bellinger returns.

    Cubs hitting them hard but not out, As hitting them out.

    I agree it not an easy fine but we've seen them go with guys in house and add arms on the cheap and it hasn't worked out well for a whole season. They definitely need a closer, not sure if that guy is in house. Maybe Hodge but I like him more as a setup guy, I don't know how they find a closer and a solid lefty, just know that a priority for them this offseason

    Yes they can use a big bat or two but with a few prospects about ready and everyone in the regular lineup all under contract/control, they don't have any openings unless they make trades. I chose pitching because that where they need the most attention. They need a closer, and probably a couple solid bullpen arms, especially one from the left side. The rotation could use a solid TOR guy to go with Imanaga and Steele.

    Say Bellinger opts in, that'll give them ... Bellinger, Happ, Suzuki, PCA, Tauchman, Caissie, and Alcantara for the outfield/DH. Assuming they don't go after any special FA outfielder (Soto). Busch, Hoerner, Swanson, Paredes, and Shaw for the infield/DH Almora, Bethencourt, and Ballesteros for C Are we really going to see the same 9 guys next season in lineup? How close are Caissie, Shaw, and Alcantara to becoming everyday players? Who will Hoyer look to hold or move in a deal for pitching upgrade ? Should be a very active and interesting offseason for Hoyer
  16. chibears55
    Shhhh, Hoyer just might do it
  17. chibears55
    Can you imagine Sutcliffe and Grace in the booth with Boog
  18. chibears55
    Cubs will win by 10 today, because it the Cub way 🤷‍♂️
  19. chibears55
    Wonder if Hoyer decides it's time to DFA a couple players and bring up some prospects to play out the season.
  20. chibears55
    Did the Cubs even bat in the 10th
  21. chibears55
    I don't see him trading them 3, also don't think it'll be wise to hold them down til July/August, especially if they're hitting well out of the gate in AAA. Bellinger decision will have an impact Is Suzuki now a primary DH with 3 yrs left or is he trade bait Shaw been playing 3B in Iowa lately, theyll need a position for him when he goes up. Hoyer gonna have a few tough decisions to make with his prospects and a couple key players. He can really help the pitching with a couple solid trades.
  22. chibears55
    I think Counsell just has his 2 orders set for facing RH and LH with his regulars and just rolling with it the rest of way.
  23. chibears55
    Gonna be interesting to see what Hoyer decides to do with Caissie, Shaw, and Alcantara all looking like they'll be ready to come up next season.
  24. chibears55
    I guess we can start focusing on the offseason and next year now
  25. chibears55
    It got untied pretty quick
