  1. He'd be a fool to opt out , he'll still be somewhat young enough for another decent contract at 32 while collecting all the deferral from the Dodgers.
  2. It was only a matter of when with the Dodgers 😅
  3. If Bregman and Jed comments about Nico were sincere, hes not going anywhere.
  4. He's gone, everything he posted says guest now.
  5. At least this will leave Alcantara down to get a little more time getting everyday AB in Iowa and be ready if called up later in season if needed. Dean likely a guy who will get most of his PT as a defensive replacement for Suzuki late in games and used as a PR or the ghost runner when needed.
  6. That could of been the "talk" between them that was taken as them asking about Nico 😂
  7. Yea if there any season to do it, this would be it for the Cubs and it doesn't have to start until Steele returns in late May or June.
  8. This is how i feel, if Hoyer has another move to make and can go over id like it to be on a guy like Tauchman. Good LH veteran bat that could fill in well for a few games if needed, and give Suzuki and even Happ days off against RHers. Alcantara has one option left according to fangraphs
  9. I hope so, I can live with Suzuki Mo and Alcantara but I'd rather not go into a season that has deep playoff run potential, with two (Mo and Alcantara) bats that could potentially be unproductive in that trio merry go round.
  10. Who were you more excited about getting? Tucker last year or Bregman this year
  11. I see with Bregman theyre about 700K under the Threshold. Im hoping they have decided to just go over it this year and have one more solid addition. I like Alcantara but would love to see them add Tauchman or someone like him, a good veteran who can play all 3 positions and would be productive if needed to start a few games due to injuries. I just hope theyre not going to go the stupid cheap we gotta stay under the Threshold route by trading Nico 12 mil for a prospect, just to be 10+ mil under going into the season, and then penny pinch or do nothing at the deadline because 10 mil not all that much to get a decent needed upgrade in a trade, which would likely be a middle infielder to play 2B because Shaw not hacking it as an everyday guy there, or a productive bat to DH/RFer cause Mo been inconsistent.
  12. I wouldn't mind seeing them add Tauchman, a veteran guy who can play all 3 OF spots and if needed in case of an injury would be comfortable with plugging in a spot for however long needed.
  13. I dont feel like theyre gonna trade Nico, that would be a backwards move with the lineup and weakens it alot.
  14. So does that mean only 21 is going towards the luxury tax ? That would put it exactly where we thought they'd offer up the most for someone if the plan was to stay under( approx. 12 under) and save some for inseason moves
  15. Theyre already over, why not bring in Bellinger now and really make a splash
  16. Maybe they just envision Bregman eventually being the DH in 2-3 years, just hope hes still hitting with power.
  17. So that should put them over the threshold no? If so just sign Tucker or Bellinger now..lol
  18. That defense just sucks the life out of you, they suck so bad.
  19. Holy horsefeathers 5/175 and of course a full no trade clause
  20. No, He was seeing her same time he was married and actually had a baby girl with girlfriend 3 months after his son was born to wife.
  21. Just saw both Ross and Zobrist will be at convention
