Can you imagine the Cubs getting both Ohtani and Alonso ?

Not a surprising move... https://twitter.com/BleacherNation/status/1725496037014454282?t=1iJb_x52Wv54ZLlBWAcboA&s=19

Wonder if Hader would consider pitching for Counsell and the Cubs, he'd be exactly what they could use in the pen.
-
Wonder if we'll see the Cubs making a trade or two here..
-
They have inhouse options but I still would like to see them add a couple of vets that been solid.
-
Thinking about the Cubs bullpen today while watching the Counsell press conference.. We could probably ink these guys in off the bat.. Alzolay Merryweather Leiter Cuas and Assad Then they have Little, Smily, Palencia, Thompson and Rucker to battle for a spot or two plus depth. I think they need to go out and bring in at least 2 solid veteran relievers to strengthen the pen and help turn the bullpen into a big strength for the team.

Yankees offered Ross the Bench Coach position and he turned it down because he wants to either manage or take year off.
-
With the Brewers going on a mini rebuild, are the Reds now the only team that a legit threat to win the Division with the Cubs ? The Cubs have a golden opportunity this offseason to make the right moves and run away with that Division
-
They gotta have plan C D E F and G after plan A and B go elsewhere 😅
-
Man, Imagine if the cubs can pull off a basketball big 3, and get Ohtani, and Yamamoto to join Suzuki. Talk about the money they'll make off of merchandise alone from oversees and here. They would be sold out and jam packed for every home game and probably road games too, the revenue from ticket sales alone would pay their salaries 😅
-
Trevor Bauer was at the meeting, yea or nay on him ?

Morel would more then likely be a guy they trade if they do go after one of Soto, Alonso, or a TOR SP. I wouldn't look too much into him playing 1B, if anything it just another position they can play him at to keep his bat in the lineup during the season if they do keep him.
-
Problem in most cases is who they spend it on and over spending to get certain players in on a 1 or 2 yr deal.

Turner would probably play 3B for the most part
-
Wonder who Counsell will add as hitting coach and especially pitching coach with the young guys up and coming up ?
-
Got a notification on my phone that started with Cubs extend Bellinger, got all excited just to see that it was just the QO was extended to him 😅
-
Kinda like the Madden situation, a good manager became available and they jumped at him.
-
Wow, did not expect that and to hire Counsell. I just hope this also means some very good players are coming too

There are currently 14 players that are playing under a 10+ year contract, and 9 of them were FA that signed their contract with a new team. There are currently 11 players that are playing with a contract of 8 or 9 yrs, and just 3 of those players have signed with a new team as a FA. Only 9 of all these FA have signed their 8+ year deals in last 5 seasons. So, as said, the 8+ and 10+ years being given to FA and especially FA leaving their current/original team are just not a thing being offered much anymore. As far as Hoyer goes, I'd be surprise if he ties up big money on a 30 YO for 10 years, not sure having 35-40 mil tied up into one player from age 35 to 39 is a good idea with an owner like Ricketts who sets low budgets
-
I said we won't see as many, I didn't say we won't see any.. Plus we are seeing the younger studs signing extensions with their original teams pass their ARB years now.. We are seeing very few top players becoming FA at age 27-30 now, and only a very few of them are getting 8+ to 10+ year deals. And difference now then years ago is the Threshold Cap, majority of teams just aren't going to tie up big money into guys that are 35+ anymore for multiple yrs. and we don't see many kids coming up and being full time starters in their early 20s as much nowadays like before.

Cubs have picked up options on both Hendricks and Gomes for 2024.. So, as of now the rotation sits at Steele, Taillon, and Hendricks
-
I honestly never heard of any of them 🤷♂️
