I think for those 2, it was more about the draft pick loss. If they didn't have the qualifying offer attached, I bet one of them would have been a Cub, but then maybe either of them wouldn't have taken what is basically a one year deal.
-
I don't get the point of cutting Brown, he better be sent down to start otherwise very stupid to send him down to continue in the bullpen.
-
Given the circumstances he should have, not having the foresight to realize running your bullpen ragged would lead to injury or ineffectiveness was what mostly led to the Cubs epic collapse. Hindsight 20/20 but I think most people realized that Merryweather, Leiter and Alzolay were looking cooked the last 2 months and I was cringing each time they came in with big leads.
-
Hoyer probably anticipated that Ross wouldn't use Brown anyways. He wasn't "one of the guys that got us here" look at Little, was barely used and the bullpen was imploded by Ross's stupidity.

Is it time to trade Bellinger?
WhyCantWeWin replied to Javy Is Still A Cub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think Busch has a great chance of flopping, thats why Bellinger is so important. Hoyer probably signed his love Dom Smith and Peralta as insurance for those reasons as well. -
I'm increasingly wanting the Cubs to add Montgomery, way too many question marks in the rotation right now and going with an complete unproven at the 5th starter seems too risky if they have actual playoff aspirations
-
Yeah my first thought was this is a great opportunity for one of the kids. In spring training and possibly when the season starts.
-
Yeah thats a good contract for the Giants.
-
2 straight misses by PCA here, Assad getting screwed big time
-
Caissie is getting a decent chunk of playing time, would be cool to see him in Chicago sometime this year. Or maybe I'm getting too excited over a few spring games
-
Yeah that would be best, really hope they stay away from the 3 catcher business tho
-
Eh I'd say coming in as a defensive replacement isnt consistent playing time. Ross was definitely holding him up.
-
Yeah I wouldn't do it, but idk what their plan is to split playing time at catcher.
-
Under Counsell maybe so, he was barely playing when Ross had them both up
-
I think Amaya might stay down at AAA to get consistent playing time, and possibly takes over next season when Gomes is a free agent
-
I think you can maximize Bellingers defensive value at RF, that's why I'd prefer him there.
-
PCA - CF Bellinger - RF Suzuki - DH
-
Close enough
-
Personally would have dumped Killian if they wanted to clear a pitcher. But won't lose any sleep over this.
-
I think Rosenthal mentioned that Bellinger got some mid tier offers but he preferred to get a high aav one with an opt out. He's really banking on himself.
-
Busch is playing today
-
Regarding the 40 man crunch, maybe they can trade Smyly to one of the teams that were connected to the Boras pitching clients. Rangers or Yankees, would save them 11 mil too. That's not obscene given what some pitchers made this offseason
-
Wisdom trade makes sense. Would also save them another 3 mil. Making a trade deadline trade possible without hitting the first tax line.
-
Mastrobuoni or Mervis is my guess
-
Lmao that was Cuzi, havent seem him on in a while
