International Free Agency Thread, 1/15/2025 Class
JBears79 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I read a report somewhere that Sasaki will make his decision on the 20th. He has to sign by the 23rd as you stated. -
Levine: Cubs and Marlins Talking Jesus Luzardo
JBears79 replied to Bertz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'd give up Triantos and Assad for Luzardo. No to Cassie though. I'm a Luzardo fan but Cassie is too much imo. -
True. Harper came back pretty quickly too. Mathis is a really interesting prospect if he can be a 1b/3b/DH prospect. Same with Long. Hoping for a Mathis breakout similar to Long this year,
-
Isnt Mathis more of a 1B/DH type though? Does he have the arm for 3rd? Is he going to be healthy to start the year after TJS? Havent really seen much about his recovery.

Cubs Showing Interest in Mariners' Luis Castillo
JBears79 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Adding Tucker and moving Parades makes me sour on trading Nico now. I'd like to keep him for this season at least now that Shaw has a path to playing time at 3B. -
I firmly believe if Shaw shows up in ST he makes the team opening day. Counsell has a track record of letting the young guys play and take their beatings. He did with Busch and PCA this year and he was known for it in Milwaukee too. Thats one of the reasons we are paying him so much. I expect Shaw will get the same considerations to work through his issues in the MLB. Some combo of Rojas, Moncada and Workman (if he stays) seems like a good bench counterpart for him to shield him from tough matchups.

We need another bullpen anchor too imo. Im a Porter Hodge believer but i want some competition for him
-
Would be awesome. Big fan of his
-
We have an elite bat. Finally! At least for next year
-
I wouldnt be surprised if Counsell would push for Shaw to start the season at 3B if we move Parades. He has a track record of letting young guys play and figure it out. Im team start Shaw at 3B, but we definetly need a stopgap on the bench.

Nah im just giving you horsefeathers. All good.

My cat told me this morning the deal was for Miles Mastrobouni and Free hotdogs for life for Jim Crane when hes at wrigley
-
Lol no way. Thats way too much for only one guarenteed year.
-
Yes. I follow college baseball.
-
Thats an easy deal to say yes too

True. 3B is such a wasteland right now and giving up our starter AND a promising bat for 1 year is a lot. Id probably still do it though since its Kyle Tucker
-
Id be hesistant to give up both Parades and Smith for just one year. Id want an extension in place.
-
I think the Cubs could easily make a Tucker trade work without giving up either Shaw or Horton but id give up both easily for him if an extension was guarenteed
-
seems pretty fair for San Fran
-
Bieber back to the Guardians
-
Not the biggest Jansen fan. Would rather go after Carson Kelly
-
Why would you trade Suzuki? He was number 16 in wRC+ last year and we all know this team desperately needs guys that can create runs. That would be an insanely dumb move. It is Hoyer though. It has to be Bellinger only.

Rumor: Cubs, Sox, Mariners in talks on 3 team deal
JBears79 replied to Rex Buckingham's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
There was a kid on reddit the other day that reported that Edman was signing with the Dodgers before it was announced. He claimed to be a friend of Friedmans family or something. I cant remember. Sometimes they get scoops just that way. Not saying he's credible but its not impossible -
I think we see Ballestros get a full AAA season this year. Maybe comes up and down but I'd keep him there for a bit. I think we know that this FO loves the bat. Get him continued reps at catcher.
