Love the outs on the bases -
Home run ball is killing Shota
-
Hes bleeding on the thumb
-
They have a ton of fat on the 40 man position player wise. Not much on the pitching side, barely have enough roster spots for those 4 pitchers that are coming off the 60 day. Unless if they decide to part ways with Hendricks and Smyly or possibly trade Taillon
-
Looks like attendance isnt taking a hit
-
that’s what Jed was probably thinking too, with his aversion to long, big money contracts. In those last couple seasons Turner will probably decline but right now hes a monster 138 wRC+ and great value on the basepaths. thats what I miss about Theo, he treated each season like it was sacred, Jed configures his contracts so that he can sell in any given year
-
Would much rather have Turners bat
-
Might have a chance with both Harper and Schwarber out, but these Cubs have been getting dominated by everyone besides the white sox so maybe thats a little too optimistic
-
So they can for sure get under the luxury tax this year and then half ass it again next year.
-
Not sure how I feel selling low on Hoerner, would really prefer if they could unload one of those big outfield contracts instead.
-
Maybe Hoyer has learned his model is a failure. He was touting the Tampa Bay Ray as the ideal method with them winning without superstars but clearly it isn’t working for Hoyer. With some of his interviews this season it seems like hes alluded that the team needs a superstar but its not feasible for this current season.
-
Your first point makes sense to me, but i disagree about how his contract will play out. Probably will end up better than Bogaerts, who has been a disaster but with how quickly Swansons bat and glove have trended down this season i have doubts his next few years will be anywhere close to as valuable as he was last year.
-
Id rather have Turners bat
-
Considering Braves offered him 6 yr 100 mill, im guessing it was around there for the other teams. Swanson was also willing to give the Braves a big hometown discount
-
Steele, Taillon, Imanaga, Assad, Brown, Wicks When healthy theres no spot for Hendricks in 2024 rotation
-
Definitely, that Happ play was pretty bad.
-
First time Hendricks has faced a good team in a while so this isnt too surprising. Once the rotation is healthy, he’s hopefully not in it
-
Damn thought PCA had one there
-
Damn who was Steele yelling at, this team is falling apart
-
Ive never seen such a expensive and mediocre team in my life
-
This is so bad, especially in that rundown situation. I feel like Steele really horsefeathered it up tho
-
Not a fan of PCA bunting there
-
Ooof PCA is struggling big time
-
Hoyer probably saw Counsells depressing response to the Nittoli pickup and decided he had to do something.
-
His option years will prevent the cubs from getting anything of value in return. Might be able to get something if they pay his salary for the year and his opt out money next year.
