How about now
-
Definitely. I’m intrigued that the Cubs just swapped out basically heavy ground-ball guy (Stro) to a heavy fly-ball guy from what I’ve read in Shota. Hawkins and team have completely changed the pitching here in just a few years
-
Arrieta and Lackey fell off so quickly.. with this team it just seems like 1 option after another. Wicks seems like an after thought sometimes but even he reminds me a bit of a young Lester. Just so many arms everywhere and control on everyone
-
Jed > Theo when it’s all said and done
-
oh lol my bad that team came to mind but longevity… This group will be together for a while and Assad is so nasty too lol he’s the odd man out now
-
IMO Cade just as a prospect stacks up to anybody on that list, Steele could be a top 10 pitcher already. You are right though that 04 team was deep..
-
this is the best Cubs rotation I’ve seen in my life, and as soon as Hendricks leaves after this year they can insert the best pitching prospect in baseball in his place What a time to be a Cubs fan
-
Justin Steele doesn’t have a burner fastball but still dominant, they see something they love with this guy can’t wait to see it
-
Love the move if it’s not the only move
-
Wow that’s a heck of a 1st trade by Breslow
-
People that are willing to trade Morel need to go back and watch the blast he had against the Twins. Kid has 50+ HR potential
-
If Cease becomes a 300m guy (which I expect, like Cole) I like his profile a lot to play well thru it. I think the Cubs would have to decide right now if he fits that category, and extend him right away similar to the Dodgers and Glasnow. He wouldn’t have to leave Chicago and he’s coming off a down year. I think he’d listen to an aggressive offer… and that would make that trade worth it imo
-
I have some de ja vu dealing w/ the Sox but I could get behind a Cease trade pretty quickly, even if it meant Armstrong Alcantara Brown and change (although I’d hang up before they ask for Cade) That trade + Cade’s pending call up solves all the velo issues in the rotation. But definitely at a price..
-
For the people that are disappointed in not getting Glasnow, it’s clear now that the cubs would have had to give up morel and maybe more, seeing what they got from the dodgers worth it for a guy who will pitch 5 innings every time he goes out there and almost surely miss 1/4 of the season at minimum?
-
They’ll prob re sign Belli, sign Hader, and swing a Dylan Cease trade with the Sox 🙂 at the very least if they swing the top 2, and any kind of meaningful trade hard to say this was a bad off season

Unpopular opinion but I actually think Jed is a great GM and way better than Theo, even if the WS hasn’t followed yet. There is a reason that this team has the type of rotation and young pitching it hasn’t had in 20 years with the ability to add even more. He’s drafted great (Horton, Shaw , Wicks are slam dunk type picks) , made solid trades (Armstrong, Caissie, Alcantara, Brown) None of those guys except Wicks have done anything in big leagues yet for the cubs, yet they were still 1 game away from the playoffs last year because of that aforementioned pitching depth. Also fixed Steele, also got Counsel
-
How’s this for a trade idea Christopher Morel for Triston McKenzie
-
lol who cares. They had like the 6th best run differential last year, it’s time to go for it. Anybody in this fan base that thinks like you do is being ridiculous and how you end up 108 years without a championship Revolutionary idea here maybe they can do what you said and also spend in FA
-
Yamamoto or Bellinger returning almost seems like a must have now. Total failure off season if they can’t do that
-
Winter Meetings catch all
PeanutPunch33 replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Hoskins is so mid, but if they can come away with Yamamoto I almost don’t care what they do after that -
I’m not sure if this has been discussed but a hitter/closer combo would be interesting for Ohtani if they want to mitigate a bit of risk and pressure on him after 2 elbow surgeries
-
This would be amazing too, they could use some of our young pitching
-
That is a good point I’m hoping that they learned from that and with new leadership would maybe do it differently… and maybe they see the cubs as good trade partners given how good Valazquez has been and how much young pitching we have to offer
