    I think it was always a pipe dream. The fit doesn’t makes sense in that he almost certainly wants an opt out next year.

    Just comical at this point

    Thank you, sir!

    Between psd and here I’ve never done this, but how do I block a poster?
  5. ToolDRT
    Yeah, I’d pay more for the younger player. I’m not a huge fan of this deal, but I guess they’re trying.

    Oh come on, can’t just stop there!

    I’m struggling to see why Jed seems so obsessed with Bregman. Hope it works. If it doesn’t? I fear it scares tom and Jed off more from high money deals.

    What is going on with Chicago sports tonight?! Hawks win with a shutout. Bregman signs. Bears win. Let’s never let tonight end!

    “Chicago will consider trading either Gold Glove-winning second baseman Nico Hoerner or third baseman Matt Shaw -- Hoerner is a free agent after this season, while Shaw likelier would bring a larger return package because of his six years of club control -- to make room for Bregman's arrival. The Cubs also could keep both in addition to Bregman. The Cubs' fascination with Bregman had as much to do with his leadership traits as it does his pull-happy offensive approach that should fit well at Wrigley Field. As the Cubs try to remain competitive in a loaded NL this season and beyond, they'll turn to Bregman -- who is renowned for his baseball IQ, interpersonal skills and work ethic -- to help shepherd them.” espn.

    That’s where I’m at. I’m glad we’re spending. But I was hoping it would be Tucker or Bichette. Oh well, hopefully he produces and it all works out.
  13. ToolDRT
    Someone convince me to like this. Tucker is just so much better.
  14. ToolDRT
    Yeah, I’m all in on Bichette. I wanted him before, but now? Even more. I don’t think Bellinger is a great idea, I like Bregman but not for 6 years, and I’m a “no” on Suarez. Still think they should just resign Tucker, though.
  15. ToolDRT
    That’s the quality Theo had that Jed never will. He understands when to throw value away and get the player. Not saying he’s always right. But he adapts to the market. I’d rather take that over someone who seems to set a market and never deviate.
  16. ToolDRT
    I hope this is more accurate. To me, I’m not really sure what the plan is though. The rumor was they won’t offer years to Bregman either. So the opt out deals weren’t to their liking, and long term doesn’t seem to be…As you mentioned, with what we have coming off the books next year, this seemed like a good time to go over the first threshold and at least have some pieces locked down next year. I guess we can still get there with Gallen and a trade. But I’ll be honest, my aim was higher than Gallen when the offseason started.
  17. ToolDRT
    Oh, I agree completely. The cubs as an organization already have a different meaning to long term compared to other teams. So not only would they be benching themselves compared to those organizations, but also compared to their own previous standards. However, this is just my theory.
  18. ToolDRT
    I might be completely wrong here, but there were rumblings last year of Ricketts not wanting payroll too high with the work stoppage looming. My guess is they want to wait on any deals of substance until we see what the new cba looks like. I think we grab a pitcher in a trade and call it a day.
  19. ToolDRT
    I’m honestly a bit surprised that people care this much anymore. The tom-Jed combo has me completely apathetic towrds baseball at this point. The two of them have pushed me right back into the arms of the bears and Blackhawks. I think once we refuse to offer Tucker 250-300 million I’ll just be done with baseball. Ricketts and Hoyer have strangled any passion I had left for the game. I was sad at first, but have become completely content. Join me, my brothers!
  20. ToolDRT
    I think they’re just going to play it conservative this year due to the lockout. Which, to me, makes a trade much more likely than a big signing.
  21. ToolDRT
    I’m honestly at the point where I wish they would skip Imai, trade for a pitcher and resign Tucker.
  22. ToolDRT
    Behind a paywall, but mlbtr claims it says the cubs and Red Sox aren’t offering a long term deal to Bregman. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2025/12/27/alex-bregman-free-agency-boston-red-sox-detroit-tigers/87898888007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=false&gca-epti=z114840p119550c119550u001240d00----v114840&gca-ft=218&gca-ds=sophi&gnt-djm=1
