    If one of Dodgers/Padres are told they are out before we hear any Cubs news, then I'll start to get my hopes up. Until then, imo, it's one of those two teams.

    Just going off of baseball reference - looks like he mainly played 2b last season and has split a lot of time between 2b/SS the previous couple seasons. Looks like 9GP at 3b in 2020 and 6 in 2019, with also some outfield experience. I don’t know much about his defensive scouting report, so do we feel like he is a guy who could handle 80 games at 3b if needed (Shaw struggles) or is he truly more of a middle IF bench utility guy who can give you a few spot starts at 3b if needed?

    Here's the main guys that had non Arb contracts that overlapped in that time period. I'm sure I'm missing a few and there are guys like Quintana that had team options exercised, etc. Heyward 8/$184m Lester 6/$155m Darvish 6/$126m Zobrist 4/$56m Chatwood 3/$38m Lackey 2/$32m Rizzo 7/$41m Kimbrel 3/$43m Jason Hammel 2/$20m Cole Hamels 1/$20m Marrow 2/$21m Fowler 1/$13m Wade Davis 1/$10m

    Agreed. I think folks forget or don’t realize how bad Seattle’s entire offense was last year. Rojas’s last 4 seasons fWAR: 1.9, 1 (105 GP), 2.5, and 1.8. Steamer projections for this upcoming season is 1.1 in 83 GP. That’s the type of player you feel ok with having to start at 3b if Shaw flops and great with if he ends up being your utility guy off the bench with Shaw playing decent.

    They’ll most likely add a RH bench bat that can play 1b, e.g. Canha, etc.

    Rojas always seemed like the obvious match for what the Cubs need at 3b/util.

    Painter follow-up, doesn’t sound like he’s in the plans to be in their rotation early:

    I've been on the Flaherty train all along, but still think someone is going to pay him. If we could get him on a 4 year deal, I would love that. A real pitching org got ahold of him and tweaked him back to his near 30% K% that he showed early in his career. I'm still betting he lands on the west coast however.

    Buehler off the board -

    Some fun Shaw projections from JA. Decent thread on how he got there -

    For Caba and Emaarion Boyd. Caba is a 19 year old defensive/speed SS that started cracking top 100 lists last season. No power, but might have a decent hit tool. Boyd is a 21 year old speed OFer in A+ with little to no power. Probably around a top 20ish prospect in the Phillies org.
  20. KCCub
    Phillies got him -

    I am pro this approach in general, but after already signing Boyd, innings becomes my concern. I think if this is the route they go, you have to plan on adding a big arm at the trade deadline that you feel good about starting in a playoff series.

    He updated DH to 3.5 (See my screenshot above for the updated sheet). But yes, it's positional value and probably around 5 for Tucker total and 3 for Suzuki from those two positions. We might see some games from Tucker at 1b, LF, or CF as well.

    Fun little compare with the Red Sox -
