    Makes total sense. You have injury prone pitching, mediocre and below average pitching and terrible pitching development. Why sign pitchers then? We can just stick with what we have.

    I think Kwan is definitely someone Jed will kick the tires on. He fits his defensive minded profile and is a cheap bridge guy from Happ to whoever comes next.

    I'm not ready to give up on Horton starting yet. I'm hoping it can be similar to a Drew Rassmussen situation. Hopefully this will be the last major issue for him for a while idk. I'm not counting on him throwing any meaningful innings next season.

    Really hope CB is a priority at the trade deadline.

    What does Jaylon Johnson even do?
  6. JBears79
    Yeah. Agreed. Milwaukee is a great city. I have disdain for the Brewers though.

    Happ was the 3rd highest paid LF in baseball behind Soto and Yelich in 2024 when the deal kicked in and 5th in 2026 when it ended. I think he was paid a pretty fair market value at the time considering the factors at play. Yelich was still in the middle of that 9 year deal coming off his 2018 MVP season and Soto was in his final arb year. I guess you could make the argument that the difference between 21 mil and 26 mil was a discount considering how much better he has been than Yelich since he signed the deal but I dont know. He's also been the Cubs union rep for a while. I'm not sure I see him taking a home town discount no matter how much he likes Chicago.

    Rameriez was all over that FB

    Man, it would be nice to have players that actually show up in the playoffs.
  10. JBears79
    Gonna be top tier trade bait.

    Throwing a name out there and even though he doesn't have the power we need, Steven Kwan seems like a trade option this season. He would fit Jed's value on defense and is an FA after 27. He does hit and get on base... Lawrence Butler could also be an option as a buy low candidate, And we still should be trying to make a deal with the mariners for pitching.
  12. JBears79
    Im done. See you all next year.
  13. JBears79
    He's dogwater in the OF. Hope he improves there but he looks like a 1B at the moment.
  14. JBears79
    2 pitches right down the middle.
  15. JBears79
    A hit with RISP!
  16. JBears79
    They have to sign 2 OF, probably 3 pitchers. No clue how they fix this. Cant bank on just Pete repeating his season either.
  17. JBears79
    And he should.
  18. JBears79
    horsefeathers incredible.
  19. JBears79
    PCA needs to show up here
  20. JBears79
    It will be Hottovoy
  21. JBears79
    He wont be. Hes Toms yes man and he just signed an extension.
  22. JBears79
    What an embarrassing playoff team.
  23. JBears79
    Welp... not looking good at all.
  24. JBears79
    Pivetta looks hittable. They can get something going against him. He left FB over the middle two or three times in the 1st. Someon will tag one.
  25. JBears79
    No first pitch HR. Positive start
