I want Yamamoto so bad, sign him and another arm and then you can deal from the pitching surplus to trade for Soto
-
-
Going somewhere, Soto? Yes, to the Yankees
WhyCantWeWin replied to Bobson Dugnutt's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah Horton and PCA are the only blue chip prospects in the system. Would only trade them for controllable players. Like Woo, just throwing that name because someone mentioned it on here. -

You mean Horton? Wesneski wouldn't be much of a loss -
Padres owner dead. Soto trade even more likely now I bet
-
I would assume Wisdom gets non tendered, probably wouldn't net anything good in a trade.
-
I feel like it's the worst kept secret in baseball right now. They are desperately trying ro gain leverage by leaking they have plans to hold on to him but every team knows their seriously bad financial situation.
-
Feels like they were in on a lot of the top tier free agents last year too. Hoyer is just trying to get in opportunistically at low years, high AAV. Which doesn't really get it done with top tier free agents.
-
Yeah I wouldn't mind Chapman at like 4 yr 70 mil but that 150 mil prediction by mlbtr is wild. Would rather them just go the trade route for Drury even though he didn't play 3B last year, think he's got solid numbers at third over his career. Or maybe Turner on a 1 year deal to split time at 3B and 1B
-
I think some of yall would take a bullet for Ross
-
I think the Giants get Ohtani. Other than the west coast connection, someone mentioned the 350 mil they were going to throw Correa that went unspent, I think they go all in for him or Yamamoto
-
I want them to splurge on the pitching side of free agency so bad and use the trade market for bats. Yamamoto/Matsui/Kimbrel/Moore And then trade for Soto/Alonso
-
Smyly unfortunately opts in
-
Real question is will he play the best player or the guys that got us here?
-
40 mil is 40 mil, but like people are saying, you don't pay out the largest manager contract in the history of the sport to cheap out on payroll.
-
He was known for doing more with a lesser payroll in Milwaukee so that's a really plausible reality.
-
horsefeathers yes!!!!! horsefeathers David ross
-
Smyly taking this long to decide on his option is giving me hope he might somehow opt out. That 11 mil + 21 mil from Stroman could/should be used on Yamamoto.
-
Yeah just in my head
-
So basically hoyer is still afraid of long term contracts.
-
Man I wish but I don't think he'd be receiving any major league offers with how bad he was last year despite Ross loving him.
-
Surprised but happy. He definitely isn't betting on himself now like he did that last year with the Mets.
-
Since they were outrighted I think that means they already passed through waivers and can opt into free agency.
-
Idk man, Hoyer seems to think there's no such thing as a bad 1 year deal. No matter how terrible the player is. Never seen a pobo/gm with such an aversion for long term deals as him, seems like those last few years of the Theo reign where Ricketts refused to sign off on any additional dollars spent on payroll really scared him.
-
Dominic Smith will be playing 1B if the Cubs don't get Alonso. Bet on it.
