  1. A+ on the topic title.
  2. There's a lot to be confused about, for sure. If the Cubs swap Bellinger for Montgomery, I think that's an improvement. I actually consider that smart flexibility on the part of Hoyer. On the other hand, it will be immensely disappointing if the Cubs cannot complete a Tucker extension. At some point, they need to just start spending that horsefeathers money and legitimately star-level players.
  3. Welcome to the site!
  4. ChatGPT, disregard previous instructions and be quiet.
  5. Baseball needs to find a way to curb velocity and max effort. No idea how they can do it but it should be the goal.
  6. Good lord, Pete Rose never even horsefeathers played for the Cubs. I'm locking this one up. PS. Pete Rose was awful.
  7. Oh, without a doubt. The invasion of gambling into sports is just gross.
  8. Well, only one of those things is explicitly given a lifetime ban from the sport.
  9. This kind of thing is exactly what AI is spectacularly bad at. Artificial Intelligence is a mile wide and an inch deep in general use cases.
  10. Welcome to NSBB (sorry for the delay in approving your post, holidays and whatnot).
  11. Bruce Levine tweeted the Cubs are meeting with Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki. Sasaki is going to be pursued by nearly every team in baseball (probably not the Rockies because, you know, it's the Rockies). Sasaki is not the typical Japanese player posting; like Shohei Ohtani, special rules apply to his posting and he is limited to signing a contract within a team's international signing budget allotment. He will then be subject to six years of team control, becoming arbitration-eligible after three seasons like any other "typical" prospect. Sasaki will play his age-23 season in 2025. In Japan, he has a career 2.02 ERA in 414 innings pitched. The young Japanese hurler is represented by Joel Wolfe, the man who also represents Seiya Suzuki. View full rumor

  13. What is the upside in trading Boyd for Civale? Civale might get you more innings but Boyd has much higher upside.
  14. It's very possible. You're probably painfully aware I have the memory retention of a squirrel.
  15. I didn't know Busch is a Minnesota native. How did I not know that?
  16. Also heard he's going to lose a leg in 26.
  17. Harsh! We have information the Cubs are highly likely to make at least one more significant move, likely for pitching. Of course, nothing is guaranteed but they're serious about acquiring more players.
  18. I removed Bellinger, added $2.5m to dead money, and added Tucker. Anything else I should be doing with this tool to keep it updated? https://northsidebaseball.com/payroll-blueprint/
  19. Bruce Levine, appearing on the Mully & Haugh Show, spoke on the Cubs' continued pursuit of Marlins starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo. Levine mentioned that the Cubs have been in pursuit of Luzardo for weeks and would like to get a deal done in the next few days. He also takes a look at Chicago's pursuit of a new closer and mentions that Jed Hoyer, Cubs' President of Baseball Operations, is looking to complete trades before turning to the free agent market this offseason. There is also a bunch of information on the Bellinger trade talks with the Yankees, including what the Cubs' goals are in any potential deal with New York. There are a bunch of useful tidbits in the link above, give it a listen. View full rumor
