I'd love to "Win the offseason" (Like the Rangers a couple years ago, and Dodgers last year) but Jed himself said that's never their goal. I expect more of the same until he proves otherwise.
-
-
That's fair if you don't have faith in Jed being able to upgrade - that doesn't mean there's not options/ways he could make it work.
-
Yea and there's a chance he might not be posted. It was just three quick names. Fried's another option, but lower on the list. It's tough for us GM's on here to know who is truly going to be available or not this off-season. I would kick the tires on someone like Alcantara and see if the Marlins want to dump him after his TJ surgery. At least we'll know in the next 5 days what direction Jed decides to go.

Sasaki, Burnes, Flaherty.

As he mentioned, we’ve been consistent trade partners over the last decade. Tauch would make sense there.
-
1296 PA's .247/.317/.372 94 wRC+ career slash line. Not really looking to add that to an offense that already struggles to score runs.
-
I’ve been pushing the run environment aspect for a while now. It hurts us probably more than most teams with competitive aspirations with the lack of raw power throughout our lineup. My post really wasn’t that serious and more of a shot at our current vets and the need for them to be better offensively next season.
-
(ALERT - meaningless small sample size) Amaya has a wRC+ of 273 over his last 9 games. The Cubs average runs per game during those 9 games - 2.67 runs. Moral of the story (Outside of being an irrelevant sample size), if Swanson, Nico, Morel, PCA and company doesn't hit (Or we at least don't get production out of their replacements next season), it doesn't matter what we do at catcher.
-
Unfortunately that's who we are - a team built on the margins who is going to play close games. We need better players for more of the "easy" wins where the little things don't matter.

And Seiya's 50/50 check swing goes against us....
-
This game is just the Cubs season in a nutshell. Doesn't matter what we do, it's going to comeback to bite us. Steele doesn't get an obvious strike 3 call in the first > Tauch misses one in CF that PCA would've caught easily > Pitch count gets way up because of that flukey inning > soft contact leads to Steele being pulled in the 6th > Miller comes in > Brewers counter with Bauers (Soft base hit) and Turang (Crucial 50/50 check swing call goes against us) > Tie game.
-
Steele waving off CC and yelling into his glove when CC comes out. Love the fire, hate the decision for my fantasy team as I needed the QS from him.
-
We have to lead the league in warning track shots right????
-
Home runs are cool. We should do that more often.
-
1st and 2nd, no outs > Sac Bunt > K > Popout.
-
Typical Cubs unlucky BS. Steele doesn't get the strike 3 call and Hoskins hits a broken bat hit about 20 mph that Steele falls down trying to field and doesn't look right shaking his arm after walking the next batter on 4 pitches.
-
That was strike 3! And also it's sounding pretty bad for Yelich -
-
I'm betting it's all smoke and he's not going anywhere. However, if their was a pitch to get him to waive his NTC, it would be "Would you be open to playing for the Dodgers along side Ohtani, Freeman, Betts, etc and compete for the WS the next 2.5 years?".
-
I'm indifferent. I see both sides of the coin with the positive/negative arguments. I do think the folks who are on the hard "keep him" side need to at least prepare for the chance he's getting moved. There's been enough smoke out there around him and it's yet to be shot down.
