    Probably just waiting it out, and just taking a look at the guys they have now along with waiting to see if anyone that they are interested in will take that 1 year minimal offer. I think after the 2 games against the Dodgers in Japan we may see Jed start putting the final pieces in place.

    Cubs are gonna be ST champs this year 4-0 🔥

    Ryne Sanderson, as Harry Carey would call him sometimes..lol

    Shaw must still be hurting some, still not in the lineup.

    Dave Kaplan says it for 6 mil.(Turner). He'll be primary a backup for Shaw and Busch, two young players, so hopefully he'll provide more coaching for them then actually filling in throughout the season. Bench is pretty much set then with Kelly, Turner, Berti, and Canario. Id still like to see them add another lefty to the pen, maybe they'll add Chafin to the same deal.

    As the roster is now, id go with 85 wins. I think they just keep their heads above water all season, no long streaks either way.
  9. chibears55
    Im surprise they haven't added Chafin yet.. Robertson and Chafin would be nice final pieces for the bullpen.

    Maybe Rickett just getting ready for the lockout 2027 season when the CBA expires in December 2026. Owners might start playing hardball with the salaries and want some kind of cap 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
  11. chibears55
    Rizzo still available 🤷‍♂️🙄

    I certainly hope Hoyer makes sure Bregman is here for at least 3-4 years if he willing to give up those 2 draft picks for him.
  13. chibears55
    Im guessing that too.. He'll likely make up.his mind when all players are due to report, but i can see him preferring the Cubs but hoping they'll up the years.
  14. chibears55
    So, do i now need to check this thread and the other transaction one to see if something has been mentioned 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Justin Turner has it own thread and is now being discussed here too, you all confused the he'll out of me here. Lol
  15. chibears55
    I'll be ok if it a minor league deal, but knowing Hoyer it'll be a 2 year deal and they'll end up releasing him before July.
  16. chibears55
    “The Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox and the Houston Astros have all made offers of at least four years to Bregman, but no one has been willing to meet his asking price.” - @BNightengale who says the Cubs have been unwilling to go over three years. Lol, Hoyer like, if you wanna play here it'll be on our term
  17. chibears55
    He gonna sign on Friday when the rest of Cubs players are to report.. It'll Be Valentine Day so the headlines will be special ❤️😅
  18. chibears55
    Kind of a double edge sword for owners too. Yeah they get compensated for losing a FA if they offer it, but it also makes it hard to want to sign a QO FA if it going to cost them a bit of their future. These small/mid market teams rely alot on the draft to try and stay somewhat competitive
  19. chibears55
    Another scenario that could work out good IF they get Bregman is to keep Hoerner and use Shaw as a Zobrist type off the bench. They can ease him in early into the season with getting ABs with starts around the IF here and there, and can give Hoerner multiple days off early on as he works his way back from the injury. He has played some OF in College and Summer league
  20. chibears55
    They need a power bat on the bench, right now they have 4 guys with a combined total of 11 major league HRs last season. Why i also hope they do get Bregman, adding him would give the lineup more power and as much as I like Hoerner, Shaw would give them more punch at 2B over Hoerner. Wish he would just make up his mind already
  21. chibears55
    Why i mentioned a 3rd team, nico goes to say Seattle, and Seattle sends the Padres prospects
  22. chibears55
    Sometimes I think Hoyer does this because it gives their prospects added time in Iowa to get ready before bringing them up, and it easier to just release the dumpster dives or keep them in Iowa for depth because the cost is low.
  23. chibears55
    Im just thinking here but maybe Bregman just dont want to go back to Houston or play in Detroit and just waiting on the Cubs who just may be trying to get a trade done for Nico before finalizing a deal with Bregman. Maybe Tucker and Pressly has convinced him to join them in Chicago 🤷‍♂️ Moving Nico who is owed 11.5 this season and add someone like Michael King who owed 4 mil this season, can give the Cubs and extra 7.5 towards using on Bregman and or maybe towards another reliever. It possible they can be trying get a 3rd team involved on this
  24. chibears55
    I dont have a problem trading Nico and his remaining 2 yrs on his deal if they sign Bregman, but I dont want prospects for Nico either, I prefer if they do trade him, they get at least a middle of the rotation type SP for him or better if they have to add a prospect. The Cubs lineup could use a change and added punch outside of just adding Tucker and Shaw. Adding both Bregman and Tucker to the middle of the lineup would or should add alot of punch to the order and would also help guys like Swanson, Happ, and Suzuki get better pitches to hit with those 2 protecting them.

    We might still get them as JD fill ins 🤷‍♂️🙄
