  1. Why would Horton not pitch next year? He went out in like the second game. Even if he didn’t come back until around the ASB, that’s like 15 months post surgery.
  2. George Ofman is always so wrong nowadays. I’m not doubting Detroit’s initial asking price is through the roof, maybe even close to what George said, but he says some of the dumbest stuff that clearly proves he’s not sourced anymore. Wouldn’t listen to much he has to say
  3. I’d pay a kings ransom for Tarik Skubal. He’s THAT good. The only player that is in the entire Chicago Cubs organization that I wouldn’t put in the deal is Pete Crow Armstrong. That’s it. Cade Horton? Take him. Hartshorn? He’s yours. I don’t care. Get him and give him a blank check in the offseason. Maybe the fan in me is getting carried away, but whatever. I want one of the best pitchers on the planet to go with one of the best all around players on the planet for this year and the next however many years.
  4. True. I definitely misread the tweet while at work. But I guess point still stands that Jed works in the shadows!
  5. It’s also worth noting that the Cubs, especially under the Hoyer regime, almost always stay under the radar and never tip their hand. It’s why most rumors revolving the Cubs I take with a grain of salt. Now obviously physically seeing scouts from the Cubs at a game is newsworthy, but otherwise rumors are hit or miss
  6. I doubt anything is that close to impact anything, but Detmers is scheduled to pitch tomorrow night
  7. I hope this is the last time I have to watch Taillon in a Cubs uniform. He’s so washed
  8. I agree
  9. He was dealing but Cubs kept applying pressure but couldn’t break through and then they finally did
  10. That just doesn’t feel like a Brewers type of move. However maybe they are tired of coming up short year over year and decide to make a big move. Who knows. I’m fascinated to see what happens
  11. I don’t know who exactly I’d trade Ayers for but I’d absolutely without hesitation cash in on his season. If a guy most people haven’t even heard of to start the year can be a headliner for a good SP, that’s a no brainer.
  12. It feels so good to finally have a super duper star
  13. Glad I’m not the only one lmao
  14. Right and why would SD want to limit their return? Just eat it and get the prospects. Nobody is taking on enough of that contract to where it even makes sense for SD. Even if they ate half of it, you’re still not getting anything for Miller. I mean I bet they would love to get out from under it, but it ain’t happening.
  15. Unbelievable we’ve got the same fWAR from Conforto as Kyle Tucker on July 21st for $55M less. Conforto is also rocking a 125 wRC+ compared to Kyle’s 96 wRC+.
  16. I haven’t seen it, nor have I cared to look, but I had 2 buddies tell me today they read that SD insists on somebody eating the Bogaerts contract in any Mason Miller trade. Maybe that’s them just throwing it out there to see if anybody bites if true, but man if I’m SD, just give me the prospect haul.
  17. I know that horsefeathers hurt. Got Dansby right in the face. Yikes
  18. Likely doesn’t mean much but there’s not much to talk about so I’ll post it anyways. Heyman listed the Cubs, Braves, Rays as potential suitors for Skubal today. Oh and his “wild card” team is….. drumroll… the Los Angeles Dodgers lol.
  19. Im guessing teams don’t feel confident in getting Joseph Contreras away from Vanderbilt? Honestly only reason I know who he is is because of the WBC, but I figured he would be very intriguing target for teams. Apologies if he’s been drafted and I missed it also
  20. Contrades the Padres just drafted gave me nightmares in the regionals. I thought that kid was going to hit one 500 feet every time he came up to the plate. Dude hit missiles all over the field the whole weekend
  21. I think I really like what they’ve done. Townsend looks like your prototypical power starting pitcher. Sorrell is a big time all around player with top end SEC results. Bailey’s power is prolific. I saw the Schwarber comps, and yeah sign me up for that kind of power. Jasa is such a fun arm to get in the lab and see what you can unlock. All 4 have question marks for one thing or another, but all 4 also have very fun upside. I’m kind of cool with how day 1 played out even if I personally preferred Rabe to Townsend. I still really like Cade.
