Not saying they need to spend big money on a bench guy or even a closer. You can find guys like this that aren't going to cost a ton of money.
-
In regards to the DH, I guess yes, with the OFers they have in system, they can stay within for DH. I'd like to see them get another sure TOR guy to go with Imanaga and Steele, they could use one or two of their younger arms in a trade for one that could become available. Me, im not a fan of using a rookie/unseasoned guy to close out games, I like to have a somewhat veteran for that spot and use the young arms as 7th inning/setup guys for a couple seasons first. I like having a reliable veteran or two on the bench, someone like Zobrist, where you can plug him into the lineup anytime and produce or come off the bench in a pinch. I know the bench isn't relied upon as much as before but I would like them to have one guy they can count on and not just a hope or luck into one.

Outside of not knowing what Bellinger will do, I can see Hoyer keeping the bulk of the gang together as a one last shot in his final contract season over breaking it down and basically starting over, especially if it still a no go from Rickett to going over the Threshold. He would need to find upgrades offensively at Catcher, 3B, and DH... A SP, Closer, and making the bench and bullpen better. So, yea I can see 2025 being a season where he and his guys need to show a make it happen or you'll be moving on type of year because otherwise they'll be bringing in a new guy to run the team and he'll likely be cleaning house with a few players and turning more towards the prospects to start with.
-
I like Morel but I think he'll be traded, if not at deadline then in offseason. They have 2 positional needs to upgrade as of now for 2025 and that catcher and 3B
-
They really don't have anyone else much better, their better hitters are all starters
-
I like elise when she does Iowa games with Cohen, I wouldn't mind if the two of them took over the booth for Cubs games.
-
Brewer punched the wall after he was removed yesterday from game.. Dumbass
-
Did he break his hand during or after the game yesterday
-
Hunter Bigge come on up.. Cubs bringing him up Most likely Hendricks going on IL Time to just let all these kids play for next season
-
I think this may be it for Hendricks, they have guys due to come off the IL, young SPs that should be starting. This season is a loss, so might as well just let the young arms get the experience and try to salvage something positive out of the rest of season.
-
Seiya threw a few guys out his first year or two
-
I was out and missed the game, I looked on here and saw just 2 pages, made me think they got blown out. 😅
-
Unless they're getting a ready bat or minor league SP that can begin the season with them next year, you kinda gotta hold onto one of your better starter that under a reasonable contract for 2 more years.
-
Found a lead that Neris is able to hold (8)
-
Suzuki read that ball bad, Happ would of scored easily if Suzuki didn't slow him up
-
Still early
-
Getting close to the AS break, time to start getting that trade value up if you're on a last place team so you can be moved to a contender.. 😅
-
If a grown man who can make millions needs to be motivated to get up and play a game of baseball for 3 hours a day, then they need to find another profession.
-
I've had that thought process alot in the past, I don't think I can recall ever seeing the Cubs or any team really doing it that way. It's usually one way or the other but never really a mix of both which would make sense for middling teams.
-
I'd like to see them do it kinda like how the Yankees did it when they brought Wettland in to close for a couple seasons with Rivera as setup, then Rivera was their guy and then Chapman came as a setup til he took over. Cubs do have the arms in the system that can close like the guys you mentioned but I'd like to see them ease into it first as setup guys for a season or two first. Maybe they can get a decent guy for 2 yrs instead of 3 or 4
-
They basically just need that big closer that you can count on, they could add others if they choose but it not necessarily a need
-
To think we waited how long for this kid to finally be healthy and play up 🙄🙄🤦♂️
-
Theyll probably finish between 3 and 6, especially if they move a couple regulars
-
Opposing fans are buying up the tickets that cub fans who bought them in March/April are selling now.
-
Most of them tickets were sold at beginning of season when everyone thought they could be good, I wonder what their actual games attendance is with all the no shows
