What would a Seiya extension look like? I know he probably wasn't thrilled with becoming a DH but the results don't lie. Maybe 3 years 66 mill?
-
No analytic will ever convince me that laying down a bunt isn't a smart baseball move in some situations. I hope they don't horsefeathers around in October when it matters
-
I don’t understand why PCA didn’t try to steal much earlier. Maybe they got de ja vu from all the pickoffs yesterday lol
-
I can’t wait until Amaya is back, the Cubs get Suarez and Nico/Dansby become our 8/9 hitters /dream
-
A bit disappointing to only walk away with 2
-
Yeah, the cubs need to extend Seiya this off season
-
Yeah, as much as I love his future potential he's not ready to play every day. He's probably not even ready to be in the big leagues..
-
Getting at least 1 here would be nice
-
That's rough. Just barely got out
-
The guy they are facing tonight is kinda intriguing. Obviously would require some significant prospect capital to get it done, but tons of control for a talented young pitcher. He’s probably closer to a middle of the rotation guy than TORP but there is some potential there
-
I can’t stand the Mets either lol. It would be hilarious if they miss the playoffs after spending all that money in the off season. I’ve seen enough to know they aren’t going to win their division, their best case scenario will be fighting the Padres/Cards/Giants for that last wildcard spot.
-
I think the Mets are what. 3 wins and 14 losses in their last 17. Possibly worse than that. And they have 2 more with the Brewers, Yankees, Orioles, Royals. Pitching has been their strength all year and they aren’t getting it right now. I think this could get real ugly for them if they don’t start winning soon.
-
Wtf happened to the Mets lol. At this point they might not even be a playoff team
-
The Cards getting swept by the Pirates would be hilarious. That’ll be a long flight to Chicago
-
I was at the game last night, fun atmosphere. After Seiya hit his HR it sounded like an explosion. I had pretty good seats, a couple rows behind Cubs dugout. And I got to appreciate how hard Tommy Hottovy's job is. How the hell can they tell if a pitch is a slider, changeup or fastball from that angle? Or even if it's slightly outside? It's just crazy how fast these guys throw. It's a blur

The Athletic: Cubs Will Add A Hitter Before The Trade Deadline
PeanutPunch33 replied to Bertz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Wow, didn't realize how bad he's been this year. That really sucks for him going into FA. If he was a FA last year he probably would have gotten 150m. Thoughts on Kelly? He's extremely old but I guess, half season commitment isn't the worst. Solid numbers. -

I'm not the best at mock trades lol. Maybe Caissie and just a lower level guy? But, I definitely think the Cubs have the ammunition to get it done and without much regret. This would be such a well rounded team with both Gallen + Suarez. -

I think the best trade is a Suarez/Kelly or Suarez/Gallen combo deal. IMO, that would make it worth it for Jed to give up Caissie+, which is where that convo probably begins. Just spitballing - maybe Owen Caissie, Ben Brown, Ballesteros and a low level guy with potential for Suarez and Gallen? I'd bet the D Backs want guys that are near MLB ready, since they have a pretty good roster in place. Just a bad year for them in a loaded division. -

I'm not comparing Eugenio Suarez to Kyle Tucker, one is a good player and the other is a top 10 player in baseball. But the effect that Tucker has had in lengthening this lineup and making the Cubs the best offense in the game vs right handed pitching - I absolutely think Suarez would have a similar effect for the Cubs vs LHP. They would have the most potent all around lineup in baseball with that move and it'll be downright frightening to play this team in October. All of a sudden, I'm not really scared facing the Phillies or the Dodgers. Hopefully, they consider it -
It would make a ton of sense for the Cubs to create 1 fat package for the Diamondbacks to acquire both Suarez and Gallen. If and when the DBacks decide to sell, that team has everything we need
-
If I'm being objective, I think the Cubs are the 3rd best team in the NL right now. It's kind of hard not to be impressed with what Philly has done without Harper the last month, and they easily have the best rotation in the NL. Possibly even the game. The Dodgers are the Dodgers. I hope the Cubs have both of these teams top of mind as they go into the trade deadline. Because the Phillies would be a nightmare playoff matchup with all the lefties they have in that rotation. Both are beatable in a 5 or 7 game series but it'll take some aggressive moves.
-
Dansby's ABs are just embarrassing sometimes
-
Barring a miracle, looks like the division lead will be down to 1 game. Shocking after where they were just 2 weeks ago
-
He can't draw a walk to save his life. That'll be his next thing to work on, to become a true MVP caliber player
-
Not looking great. Astros have a great bullpen and Valdez doesn't look like he's coming out anytime soon anyways
