    Yeah MLB offseason is too damn boring. Bet Manfred will look into how to make it exciting, his changes shortening game time did wonders, gotta keep the young ones interested in the sport.
  2. WhyCantWeWin
    About to sign with the padres according to heyman
  3. WhyCantWeWin
    So the Cubs are spending all their money this offseason on coaches and executives. While every one of the other 29 major teams is spending on money on players. Is Jed ahead of the curve here? Are players overrated?
  4. WhyCantWeWin
    I'd like the Cubs to try and get Pasquantino
  5. WhyCantWeWin
    I think they only have 14 mil more space before the highest luxury tax tier. So I don't think they have a big swing left in them. They could trade for Bieber and his very reasonable salary.

    Imanaga to the Yankees now I suppose? What other teams would be in on Montgomery then? Hoyer might end up getting a steal by being the cheap bastard he is.
  7. WhyCantWeWin
    Sorry didn't mean to offend
  8. WhyCantWeWin
    Just like that the Dodgers have completely cornered the Japanese market. I think a 27 mil aav will end up being a steal for them.
  9. WhyCantWeWin
    Yeah I'm guessing Yankees too, looking forward to seeing him pitch. He put up some insane numbers in Japan.
  10. WhyCantWeWin
    Probably unwilling to go over 2 years
  11. WhyCantWeWin
    I think that's an overpay bro
  12. WhyCantWeWin
    Weird how they say they don't want to block prospects and then are interested on players that would block prospects. If they sign Bellinger as CF and then play him at 1B when PCA is "ready" then they just paid him centerfielder money to play first. Just an all round stupid notion. I am just losing all faith in the front office, makes it truly seem like they have no plan as Sharma said.

    Jeds wait back and see what falls on his lap approach is pretty dumb in my opinion, worse it basically confirms the Cubs will never land a star player because he doesn't want to enter bidding wars. Can basically count out Soto next year.
  14. WhyCantWeWin
    Are you talking about Yamamoto?
  15. WhyCantWeWin
    Reportedly they want to clear his 7 mil salary because of their tv deal really forcing their hands
  16. WhyCantWeWin
    Have to believe they are still in on a Bieber trade, or is Hoyer going to dumpster dive and take a shot at one of the criminals. Market is drying up
  17. WhyCantWeWin
    Pepiot and DeLuca are pretty solid players, Cubs trade would probably be Wicks and Canario to equal that I'd say.
  18. WhyCantWeWin
    Surely this takes the Dodgers out of the Yamamoto race... r-right?
  19. WhyCantWeWin
    Saw Ohtani can possibly opt out if ownership changes or if Friedman leaves. Basically an anti tank/rebuild clause in his contract. Cubs probably didn't want to offer that since they are one of the few big market teams that enjoy doing a rebuild every 5 years
  20. WhyCantWeWin
    I guess that caps off the Cubs offseason? Don't see Hoyer spending beyond Alfaro
  21. WhyCantWeWin
    Makes a lot of sense for the Dodgers, one year rental til ohtani is ready to pitch again. Maybe Yamamoto doesn't want to play with a star like Ohtani.
  22. WhyCantWeWin
    Wasn't he predicted on a 50 million deal?
  23. WhyCantWeWin
    I was coping with the thought that ohtani didn't offer this deferment to any other team. Disappointing to learn this. Dodgers just went out there and got their man
  24. WhyCantWeWin
    Can Manfred void that deal because of the wild deferment? I ask this just because I'm becoming increasingly salty
  25. WhyCantWeWin
    It already has kinda worked out. The contract numbers itself created a frenzy in the sports and non sports world. Ohtani is the most marketable mlb player in the game right now. Everybody in Japan is a dodger fan now and someone mentioned on here that will likely create a pipeline of future npb talent wanting to play for the Dodgers. I saw that report that Sasaki wanted to be posted so that he could play with ohtani. Was that fake? Maybe yeah but that is a likely outcome of him signing with the Dodgers. The increased revenue of him being with the team will offset a lot of his cost. And this is all before he even takes the field. If he comes back hitting, they have a great DH. If he comes back pitching too then the Dodgers got a steal even at 700 mil. This case is unique to a unique player like ohtani.
