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.
-
Neris might end up being the only cubs pitcher with double digit wins this year
-
Tough play but I think that should be an error
-
Hodge is a fun choice, hopefully he can shut it down
-
Neris is officially the closer again after this outing
-
Bellinger really struggling with fastballs right down the middle
-
Surely the bullpen newly armed with Nittoli can hold the tie before the offense erupts for a ton of runs
-
Seiya in left
-
Javier Assad to IL, Almonte to 60-Day
WhyCantWeWin replied to Jason Ross's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That was me as well, but i think its more likely in this case given he’s approaching his previous innings high and has been struggling with some ineffectiveness. And that he was IL’ed as soon as they managed to grab some insurance in the absolute legend that is Vinny Nittoli
