    I would lose all faith in management if they move Nico for an underwhelming haul. He's under control for 2.5 years at $11.6m AAV (age 27), playing with a fractured hand, and still on pace for 3.4 fWAR per 150 games. Their return value should be that of a cost controlled cheap player, in his prime, who will probably get you around 10 fWAR from this point forwards to the end of his contract.

    I know Polanco has struggled so far this year, but them making a trade for an OFer seems to make a lot more sense to me then them making a splash for Nico.

    I’ve been outside mowing, but seen Steele’s blowup. Been waiting for someone to show some emotion. Hopefully it lights a fire under the boys because it’s almost too late. Cards have went 26-16 after Oli had the big blowup on the umps.

    That thing was a rocket

    The question becomes how valuable is it to the Cubs to move him and have the guranteed financial freedom it would create over the next two seasons? I hate that we're at this point, but he's on a 2.6 fWAR pace per 162 games this season (2.3ish at his true pace of around 145 games). Not horrible, but not the type of value you want to be paying $26.6m AAV for. Which scenario would you guys prefer if the Cubs are sellers/non-buyers? - Move him for a package that's most likely going to be underwhelming, but it guarantee's the Cubs have $26mish extra next offseason to plug other holes - Hold onto him because he is a useful/versatile player and hope if he opts in, that he can have a season closer to the 2023 season.

    O/U PCA 60 SB next year, what say you?

    "We'll see how it goes." - Sounds like a manager who has little confidence in this move.

    Hahaha

    Some hard contact off of Shota to start. Hopefully that trend doesn't continue.

    Yay a bullpen game tomorrow…

    A good RF catches that….

    Would be cool if we would swing at pitches down the middle
  17. KCCub
    We’re going to need the offense to show up today….
  18. KCCub
    Oof, not even through 2 yet.

    This Mets team has been scorching hot, bad time to run into them.

    I'm not sure what they need to do with him in terms of approach. It's low and away every AB and he rolls it over to the left side. You hate to take away from his power approach, but at some point, he'll need to start going with the pitch away and taking some off the swing if this trend continues.
  21. KCCub
    Hmm

    Davis finally get his shot? Or go outside the box and make room for Caissie?
  23. KCCub
    When you have a team full of sub-optimal power bats combined with the dead ball situation we have going on in baseball = warning track power.
  24. KCCub
    Bottom 1st, two outs, and already pissed. Love these Cubbies
  25. KCCub
    Wind blowing out, Mikolas pumping 91 right down the middle - fully expect 6 shutout from him today.
