  1. I wish we had someone who could be counted on to hit 40 bombs a season
  2. Alcantara untochable?
  3. At the time glasnow was moved, everyone and I mean everyone, thought Jed would have deep pockets. Based on the counsell hire/ Ross castration and the media perceived frenzy about jed and his ohtani pursuit. Hell, you went long and hard for a bieber threesome from cleveland, which wouldn't have been cheap player wise. To me, this past offseason, the Dodgers were in a position to unload aging 40-man prospects for a more talent certainty. Are we guaranteed 4 years of imanaga? I'm not an attorney and haven't read the fine print. I haven't heard jed say we are guaranteed 4 years of imanaga, but maybe he has? Belli? Again the belief of deep cub pockets this year and the assumption the Cubs were going all in following counsell addition. Triantos? Our minor league experts here didnt/don't expect his talents to translate to finer mlb success. Brown? At the time, I would've included him in a glasnow deal and not hesitated. This past offseason started with an explosion and then, just as fast, whimpered like a lamb. I'd like to add, this was the most disappointing offseason as a cubfan for me in many many years
  4. In their mind, If the Mets ask? What do they ask for from Jed?
  5. The extension wasn't necessary to get a deal done.
  6. Short sample? Short sighted?
  7. I'm saying for 100 games, who cares about 2025 $? The season to try and win is the season in progress
  8. Tbh, rcal, you said you wouldn't give up much for glasnow last offseason. How does that prognostication look today? J/k
  9. A lot of teams over the years need a move that sparks the lineup. For 100 games, that spark could be a homer hitting firstbaseman playing on an expiring contract? Keep in mind, this guy thru 5 seasons has Ralph Kiner power.
  10. Love this. But for me I'd rather have the next 100 games with Pete Alonzo.
  11. In my mind: pca in center, belli in right, seiya at DH, Alonzo at 1b. The leftovers can go to hell
  12. Every rumor monger with wifi is linking the Cubs + Alonzo since last offseason right up to today. Including the biggest taleteller : Heyman In my head and heart I can see a good fit with a little bit of roster juggling. Biggest question: does jed step up and give the Mets what's necessary. Next question: who does he give for Pete? Jed could find love from Chicago immediately and be the toast of the town if the gamble works. I'm just wondering if Jed has a pair of big-boy pants?
  13. I remember when the Cubs were leading the division. Back in 2016
  14. Are the Sox flexen their superiority? Football starts in July, thankfully
  15. I'm really hoping imanaga looks good tonight.
  16. I agree. This would've been a good spot at 0-2 to back Friedel off the plate. Kid is still learning the ropes. He needs a little bulldog mentality.
  17. Bote?? Rock my world Jed. Who's next? Mancini?
  18. Nicky actually hit a double play grounder but candelario muffed it. I'm not sure why people think he can hit? As a side note, I was expecting a blown hammy on his way to the plate.
  19. Last one here, please turn off the lights
  20. Better yet: what's counsel's WAR? Wins Above Ross
  21. How many wins has counsell been worth?
