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
-
if the right names get floated, I’d think they’d have to listen. I’m not brushed up on prospects but Caissie Alcantara and maybe both Morel and Ben Brown
-
I can actually see this being the first big move the cubs make, an under the radar move that fills a huge need the cubs love south paws and the Counsel connection,
-
If the cubs are really in on a guy like Bichette, pay more and go get Witt Jr. That kid is a special player, he will win an MVP some day and would be a gold glove caliber 3rd baseman.
-
I don’t think it’s realistic but Bobby Witt Jr would be amazing to man 3rd base, I’d rather have him than Soto if they are making a splash. i doubt he gets traded though
-
you don’t think he’s “that good” to lead a team with a top 3-4 run differential to a playoff birth? maybe you can appreciate how awful Ross was a little bit more. What I said is a 100% accurate. The cubs could run it back with the same team + Counsell and they are easily a playoff team. and the part about him being more valuable than Belli is true too, he gave his last team 9 years of elite service. Bellinger hasnt given any team 9 years of elite play and won’t in his next contract either. Soto is 50-50 but I’d rather have Counsell
-
For me this move is as significant as getting Soto. Bellinger or anybody else. If the Cubs got those players I can see a scenario where they miss the playoffs. With CC it’s hard to imagine them not a playoff team almost right away. Even with no other changes. He really is that good
-
I’m dazed by happiness at this move
-
I secretly wanted this to happen and didn’t think they’d do it, no matter what happens next Jed has my respect forever that they are doing everything possible to improve the team
-
This collapse is so sickening, fire Ross and do anything to get Counsell
-
If the Cubs miss the playoffs, Ross has to go..it just is what it is
-
What a joke he wasn’t even running just take your time
-
Cubs need to handle business tonight
-
Wow
-
Much needed. LFG
-
Brewers came through today
-
Getting the #6 and playing Milwaukee wouldn’t be the worst thing #optimism
-
The cubs need to handle business against the pirates and Rockies and go 5-1 or 4-2 during this stretch.. otherwise they never deserved it anyway (is the way I look at it)
-
I love Seiya, I like sutcliffe too he’s funny
-
Ross has no strategic acumen at all in managing the bullpen. He’ll just leave in mediocre veterans and then say oh well that’s baseball when they blow it. He will cost the Cubs mightily in the playoffs
-
Predictable
