  1. Not sure where to post this: For cubfans from my generation, Big Lee Arthur Smith had a heart transplant recently.
  2. I'm not sure why he's projected to get a better deal than imanaga. But I remember reading somewhere jed was taking a gander while visiting Japan earlier. For me he's a big NO deal
  3. Happy 35th Birthday to Tomoyuki Sugano. Will he be one of the two starting pitchers jed wants? Projected $15-20m per
  4. Someone please refresh my memory. Once the Cubs franchise made public their intent to sell, how long did it take to finalize a deal?
  5. Will Clark could read his lips, so there's that
  6. As long as it's all binary
  7. Age of innocence is no more
  8. Jerry Weinstein is leaving the Rockies and joining the Cubs. Jed didn't announce this as yet, but Jerry did. Jerry, BTW, is 81 years young
  9. Really? Every mommy and daddy huh? Wow. What a comdenation of every Christian family. So sad.
  10. Kids can't even watch baseball anymore without being exposed to F. Don't know if you saw, the bears game had a loud Fbomb completed sentence as plain as day because the field mic was live
  11. both rizzo and tellez could solve the lefty out of the bullpen scarcity. And they could be a pinch hit option for madrigal or miggy then takeover on the mound the next half inning. Look at us saving jed $ with roster construction
  12. With all the morel-like mix and match position flip-flop suggestions : how about jed signing rowdy tellez to be a solution as a relief pitcher? Afterall, he did it at least twice for the pirates.
  13. You need a moderator badge. Or a big bag of STFU
  14. I'm not versed well in the Seattle team $ situation. They had a slightly better record than the Cubs. And just fell short of the WC. I'm not sure why they'd trade good pitching? All the cubs can offer is basically kids + hoerner
  15. We can anticipate Belli ending up a Yanker. Makes extreme sense. Alonzo a yank? Not that I want to trade nico, but he might lineup in some sort of Schmidt deal?
  16. I thought grampa rossy was in line for the reds?
  17. This is probably shocking for both you and me to admit, but not every mlb player lusts to play in Chicago. They don't have a soft spot in their hearts for the history of the glorious friendly confines. They don't care about the ghostly echos of Ronnie Woo. Heck they probably prefer New York style pizza over Chicago style. I've read the arguments we have 80 million to spend! Doesn't mean jed will spend biblical amounts in 25. There are 30 teams. Several have owners willing to spend. Soto, Tucker, vlad, Cease might not want to sign long term deals with jed. I fell for the ohtani / cubs hype last offseason. I'm not gonna get suckered in this time. He's gonna build an 85 win team and try to squeeze in. I know jed has bushels full of prospects down on the farm. Sadly, very few are pitchers who ain't wearing bandages. We need to realize Rickets and Hoyer. Rickets and Hoyer. Would you buy a used car from these guys?
  18. Wow. I never even thought about the disparity advantage of playing the Sox. Thanks for pointing this out.
  19. Sorry, your words not mine: "If you can't get Vlad, trade for Tucker. Problem solved." I guess if we can't sign burnes we'll trade for crochet. Easy peasy.
  20. I appreciate this. But I was simply pointing out making a trade isn't a slam dunk as he was suggesting
  21. I'm claiming fake news! He was primarily a firstbaseman in college. And he was a shortstop while in high school. J/k
  22. Did I miss a mlb story? Do the Astros hate having Tucker in their lineup?
  23. Wow. The eye test doesn't really lie then. He mostly stinks like fish defensively. No wonder Jeb was checking out better catching at the deadline
  24. But only 135 days til pitchers and catchers report.
