Cubs seem to be in on everyone until the first team makes an offer to pass what they would offer. Have they actually met with a FA yet ?
-
I didn't, I've been saying that it likely that the plan may be to see more of what they have in the system with all the guys now that are ready and near ready this season. Like Carter already admitted, they dont want to block their young prospects with long term commitments. They have 3 positions that are open.. 1B, 3B, and CF 1B prospect: Mervis, McGeary 3B prospect: BJ Murray CF prospect: PCA, Kevin Alcantara If they bring anyone new in for either of those 3 positions , it'll likely be short term bridge players.

TR will stay in hiding until they actually win something again. Reminds me of Rocky Wirtz, once they stopped winning, we fans didn't see much of him like when they were winning.

My prediction 😅 Gomes/Almora Mervis/ Belt Hoerner Swanson Brian Anderson/ Madrigal/Wisdom Happ Bader/Tauchman/ Morel Suzuki
-
Watch the cubs bring Stroman back on a cheap deal because nobody else wants to pay him and the other starters are out of the cubs price range or trade range. Lol
-
Sometimes I think he really dont have any plan except to wait it out until the least wanted are left.

PCA, Mervis, Caissie, Alcantara, Brown, Wicks, Canairo, McGeary, BJ Murray, Davis, Vazquez, Kilian, Little, Hodge, Aliendo, Franklin.... All with ETA of 2023 and 2024. Here a crazy what IF .. What if Hoyer/Carter plan for 2024 is to play their young guys throughout the season and see who ready to stay up. They dont sign anyone to a big multi year contract, just short deals, and instead of trading their top prospects, they play them all or the ones that force their way up. Next offseason, theyll have more then enough money to go after Soto and another top player , theyll have a good idea about a few of their kids, who to trade, who to keep. Outside pf possibly bringing Bellinger back, I think this could be their plan to fill in 1B, CF, and 3B this coming season. Go with the young arms in the rotation and bullpen

Lots of offseason left but... this sucks, doesn't it?
chibears55 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I just never let myself get overly excited about the offseason with the cubs because I just dont expect them to make big moves. If they do, then I'll be happy, like with the Counsell hiring, if not, then it just buisness as usual on the Northside. I think Carter Hawkins kinda spilled the beans a bit on what their plan is for this offseason when he mentioned about not blocking certain prospects with new additions. Cubs basically need a 1B, 3B, and CF as far as position players goes, they dont really have a guy outside of Mervis for 1B, so they can get a quality bat there. They do have Shaw and a couple other SS that could possibly move to 3B and PCA for CF, so the most likely scenario for those two spots this offseason is to add a 1 or 2 yr bridge player to fill in til they're ready. -
I hope I'm around in 10 years to see how the Dodgers wiggle out of having Ohtani 68 mil not go towards the Tax Threshold for the 10 yrs. he sitting at home collecting that money. Also will be interesting to see if teams start to use that more with future FA
-
Bellinger and a TOR pitcher would be enough to likely run that division. Would like to see them also add a LH bat to platoon with Wisdom at DH. A true closer and a 1Bmen I wouldn't mind Morel taking over 3B from the start of ST and see how it goes
-
Right, add a bullpen arm or a bench guy, something that shows he actually on the phone and talking to people. 😅
-
I wasn't saying they should trade him , I was just responding to a post that mentioned him playing 1B and just suggested I'd rather they just trade him then having him move to 1B.
-
Lotta players with NTC have gotten traded over the years. Most of these guys just want to be able to choose the team(s) they will play for that interested in trading for them.
-
I'd rather they trade Happ for a pitcher or even a good prospect.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto to...the Dodgers? Really? Again?

One thing i wish Hoyer would be, and that is be more aggressive in going after the guys he wants over waiting and ending up with the leftovers in January. -

Agree, he one I wouldn't mind if they offered a 10 yr deal to. -

Sad as the Cubs aren't going to be real players for any of the big named players likely. Maybe next offseason -
Soto gonna be looking for close to a billion next offseason and he'll just be 25. 😅
-
Nah, he got Wisdom and Madrigal manning 3B until Shaw is ready 🙄
-
It means I somewhat answered the posters question about what the cubs possibly offered by telling him what I had saw. 🤷♂️
-
Not sure if it was for him or not, I think it was, but I saw something where they may have offered him something that had opt outs in them after 3 or 4 years.
