    Idk, Edman is sneaky valuable with being a plus defender at SS and OF. Fedde also only has one year of control and Pham is a 36 year old rental with a 102 wRC+. Wouldn't be shocked to see Edman pushing 5 fWAR again for the Dodgers next season.

    If Shaw struggles at AAA then what? There's just nothing out there in terms of 2b FA. I don't see a world where you're getting back a starting 2b for Nico, so I just don't believe they are getting Nico's value back. There it is, you don't believe in the core. Does it make sense to address a black hole at 3b with a good player just to turnaround and trade a good low cost player at 2b and create another black hole? I don't see that at all. You can add the big bat at RF or DH this offseason without having to move your valuable 2b. You have money to spend, and a large prospect stash to move to address the remaining needs - Big bat, catcher, SP (Maybe), and BP.

    We shouldn't pencil in a guy as the every day starting 2b who hasn't taken an AB at AAA yet. If he forces his way onto the big league club at some point next season, then we can start looking to move Nico for another need. You're also not getting anywhere near Nico production elsewhere for the $11.5m you save next season by moving Nico.

    Breslow must think they can get him right.
  5. KCCub
    The great thing about Nico is he's under contract for only two more seasons - his age 28 and 29 seasons. Age isn't a concern there. He also only has an AAV of $11.67m, has been worth 4.2 and 4.5 fWAR the previous two seasons and will probably be around 3 fWAR this season. How are you replacing that value in 2025?
  6. KCCub
    Yea I just don't see a path where moving Hoerner makes sense right now. I'm a believer on making prospects force their way onto the team. At that point, it's a great problem to have if Shaw for example is destroying AAA early next season. It doesn't make sense to fix our 3b problem just to create the same exact problem at 2b next season (See the 2b FA class).

    Seems like the Dodgers would be the best trade partner in that scenario. They have a plethera of young, injured arms. They already have the upper end SP, they need someone who can reliably eat innings. However, not sure which arm we would target and what else we might have to send depending on which arm it is. In a similar vein, I mentioned awhile back that we should kick the tires on Alcantara this offseason if we are moving Jamo this deadline.

    Good chance Montas is gone before tomorrow's start as well. Might get lucky and get a BP day from them.
  9. KCCub
    Agreed. I really hope Morel & Bigge are successful. It's almost like the twitter world doesn't understand that this can be a good thing for both sides and in terms of team context it makes since for both teams.

    Idk, call me crazy, but I think a guy who puts the ball in the air at over a 70% clip is going to be a welcomed sight at Wrigley in the summer time. His away HR/FB % is down 4% this year from last. If we are expecting the offensive environment to improve next year (I sure think it will), then we might see gains there.
  11. KCCub
    They have 55 games left. His current appearance pace is 60.5 appearances per 162, so they are right on the line.

    He’s going to be a monster -
  14. KCCub
    There's a lot more options for OF as opposed to 3b. Soto - O'Neil - Santander - Teoscar. Outside of Soto, the dream scenario would be trading for and extending Kyle Tucker.
  15. KCCub
    What’s happening?!?!?
  16. KCCub
    LFG Jed. This is the type of risk he has to take with limited options at 3b.
  17. KCCub
    Let Jed cook. In all seriousness, I like this move. Has good stuff, just need to fix him. 2.5 years of control and the cost was minimal.
  18. KCCub
    At least the pitching matchups get easier the next two games........Oh wait
  19. KCCub
    They'll probably go on a winning streak in Sept to drop us 3-4 spots in the draft lottery.
  20. KCCub
    If everyone knew the next AB was going to be a 69.1 mph pop fly, I think we all would of taken that.
  21. KCCub
    That's optimistic to think this offense was going to score 3 runs
  22. KCCub
    Feel bad for Kyle. He was pitching great and then got BABIP'd to death.
  23. KCCub
    Good weekend for me to be stuck watching the Royals broadcast
  24. KCCub
    Things are happening quick
  25. KCCub
    Doesn't seem likely that they would go after both Eflin and Jamo right?
