    I’m betting Jed lands one of Cabrera, Alcantara, Ryan, or Gore today plus Willi Castro. If that happens, then I’d say this deadline is a success. Id take a massive trade with Minnesota that lands us Ryan, Castro, and Jax lol

    Cerami is a goof ball but obviously has a friend in the FO. He always gets wind before others
  3. JD94
    Seems light?

    Do you think Shaw forced Jed not to pay up for Suarez based on his play since the ASB, or do you think that had little effect and Jed just didn’t want to match / beat whatever Seattle offered? I know it’s hard to say without knowing the return yet, just curious your thoughts

    Seattle got Suraez. Ready to see the return
  8. JD94
    Suarez to Seattle
  9. JD94
    Steven Matz to the Red Sox

    Don’t really see the appeal of adding Kittredge and Soroka to the pen. I guess if Kittredge replaces Pressly, then okay? Fine I guess. It’s fine. Doesn’t move the needle much, but pretty meh. He’s a solid dependable medium leverage reliever

    That’s true. It was a SSS of 50 games in A ball, but you’re right. Which is kind of why I said “they at least didn’t screw him up.” And agree with the rest. Elijah had major swing and miss concerns on draft day and they haven’t done anything with him.

    James Wood has developed well. Dylan Crews not so much. CJ Abrams hardly played in the minors with Washington. I agree with your point, just pointing out that they at least didn’t screw up James Wood

    He’s never played 162 games in a season either. He’s been on pace multiple years. I don’t think predicting 20/20 seasons on the regular over 162 games and above average defense at a premium position is a reach. I think it’s a very fair assessment of his potential.
  14. JD94
    An above average defensive CF that’s likely a 20/20 guy most seasons would be a perennial 3+ WAR player. That’s extremely valuable. I think you’re severely underselling Alcantara and Caissie

    I know what Abel is ranked and Wiggins is freshly climbing the rankings, but I think Wiggins has much higher upside than Abel. I understand the point of the tweet… yes technically that would be the Cubs equivalent, but it’s not apples to apples
  16. JD94
    Feels pretty even honestly. About what I would expect. A pretty solid upside SP and a toolsy A ball player. Nothing crazy but also potentially good haul.
  17. JD94
    Alcantara and Wicks for Suarez seems stout man. I know it’s a sellers market, but I just can’t get there with how Shaw is playing. I’d rather just go get Castro, Jax, and a SP than Suarez if that’s the cost.
  18. JD94
    New TDL article from Passan and Olney this morning. Very few Cubs mentions. One sentence of maybe Ryan or Cease if the Cubs “value the cost.” A slight Merril Kelly mention. Then a Shane Beiber mention as a possibility. That’s about it.

    Eugeniwho????

    There’s 100 ways to also look at this. I think if you’re talking about the next 10 years, nobody would choose Bellinger over Tucker over the next 10. And without getting Tucker in here this year, he may not have chose us in free agency had he just played out his final year in Houston. Maybe he goes to New York, Boston, LA, etc instead. I think having him play this season for us will be a major boost in his free agent decision though. I mean sure, he’s going to the highest bidder and might go elsewhere regardless, but I definitely think it helps him and us get to the point where he chooses to play here for 10 more years.

    Needed this from Brown today. Glad we didn’t have to cover 6+ innings with the pen
  22. JD94
    Tucker is also 2 years younger and has a higher fWAR (4 to 3.3 for Belli). Kyle is also coming off an abysmal month of baseball. He’s sure to heat back up again and I imagine by end of season, it will be significantly better than Bellinger.
  23. JD94
    Still have to face Mis the Kid and Peralta
  24. JD94
    Nightengale says Cubs are targeting Keller and would give up Caissie for him ETA: I would assume they wouldn’t do Caissie for Keller straight up, but only if it included Bednar also?
  25. JD94
    Caissie yes. Horton no.
