  1. Epic link drop. Just stellar work.
  2. Various sources, second hand. I'm not the "rumors guy" but I know a handful of people who are. And they're legitimately plugged into rumors. We've been doing this for a long time (over a decade) and I get scuttlebutt from our text chains, which are overwhelmingly accurate. The addendum to this is that I'm talking about it on a forum, not writing about it on the front page. That means it's unconfirmed but probably, at least in partially, accurate.
  3. I found out about the Cubs offer after I typed the post about the Twins and Giants. 🙃
  4. I've also heard rumblings the Cubs had an offer well in excess of $100m out there but it appears Bellinger wanted to trust in himself on the short-term deal with opt-outs. A fascinating situation.
  5. Interesting tidbit: heard a rumor (unconfirmed) that the Giants and Twins offered more than $80m in January.
  6. I kinda feel like the Cubs are done after the Bellinger signing but with Montgomery and Snell still out there, I feel that's a big mistake on their part. The NLC is wide open, just waiting for a team to step into the lead. And now that the Cubs aren't committed for 5+ years to Bellinger, they are no longer hamstrung by multiple long-term deals that could hurt them in 2028 and beyond. It feels like a pretty big mistake to not make a push for one of the two remaining pitchers, particularly Snell (though I find him borderline unwatchable, he's head and shoulders above Montgomery).
  7. I was wary of Bellinger for a few reasons but this deal mitigates a lot of that concern. Patience paid off for the Cubs on this one.
  8. Oh, I know, I just think it's horsefeathers. The Cubs should not be afraid of literally the first luxury tax threshold.
  9. I mean, getting two of the Boras four should be the goal at this point. It's kind of maddening that it is not.
  10. No big deal, your vote counts, it just didn't count Ferris.
  11. Thank you all for voting and we have a new top prospect! Winning by only two points, Cade Horton!

  12. He won’t. Would you like me to clear your vote so you can vote again?
  13. I'm looking for someone to help with the rumors section of the site. I'm finding that I simply do not have the time to manage that properly anymore. I'd prefer that the person manage rumors for the Twins, Brewers, and Cubs but that's not a requirement. It would be a paid role and a pretty nice/easy side hustle for people who find themselves sitting in front of a computer all day anyway. PM me if you're interested or if you have questions, ask them here.
  14. Last day to vote, voting closes Wednesday evening around 8pm central!
  15. I will absolutely refuse to use anything but #YouHaveToCIt this season.
  16. Hard to believe the Mariners are truly interested. They dealt for Jorge Polanco - likely to play third - and also required the Twins to take back DeSclafini as a salary-shedding move.
  17. We currently have a tie for first place if someone out there wants to put their finger on the scale...
  18. There are at least three very good blog posts in this thread. Use our blogs section, please! You cantankerous old coots. 😃 https://northsidebaseball.com/blogs/
  19. I was coming in to say Morel gets 400+ PAs this season.
  20. I wiped out your vote, you can now vote again.
  21. DERRRRPPPPPPP Of course, done.
