4-team trade proposal of mine (sarcasm): Arenado (with some salary eaten) + Cubs prospect(s) and modest Yanks player to Astros (Arenado fits in with the winning+whining culture) Tucker to Cubs Bellinger to Yankees Cardinals get prospect(s) plus cash from Cubs (Cubs giving prospects and possibly cash here to Astros + Cards)
-
Hurted feelings? LOL
-
Huh? I was agreeing with you.
-
So confirmed here that Rogers is just speculating, but his thinking is pretty realistic.
-
Yeah the FO is too busy this winter to get to extension talks , I agree they have to assume 1 year and at best have a guy open to talks. March when things calm down for FO is more likely I agree.
-
Well Jesse said he doubts they extend them, sounds like speculation, he's not saying "I heard they want him for the 1 year but are open to extension talks" etc. I think we all doubt he extends him haha.
-
If they want Tucker longterm for the money he'll want and Tucker is open to it they could throw them Caissie or Alcantara. I have my doubts Jed will extend for Tucker money, especially in a post-Soto market given he's got Caissie and Alcantara close to the MLB. Tucker will want 10 years. Not sure the point of keeping these prospects for 4 seasons cooking in the oven when we've been arse if we were going to move them eventually.
-
If they're contending and keep Tucker until FA they'll give a QO. So that should go into the calculation of the trade. Can throw them a prospect which has the the value of a QO pick and get it back.
-
"Also mentions he’s heard the Astros don’t want Bellinger because of his comments on the 2017 cheating scandal,..." 😂🤣 Belli probably doesn't want to go there either LOL
-
Jed and Carter must be banging their heads on tables at this point trying to find a deal with some team So many moving parts, I don't envy them right now.
-
Hey Patrick Wisdom Jr! Question is, if we trade Paredes who do we have for 3B? Shaw, Cowles, this guy. Is it enough? Especially given Nico is questionable. Huge risks. I prefer Paredes but the Astros would love him.
-
I'm in the "trade more expensive guys closer to FA and keep the stud prospects" camp. Tucker would obviously be amazing but if its for a year then its tough. For me Seiya, Belli, Nico are on the table, potentially Happ, Triantos and anyone below him in the rankings not named Cam Smith. If that's not to Houston's liking maybe a 3rd team can get the Astros what they want.

Potential Landing Spots For A Cody Bellinger Trade
Stratos replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Bellinger in CF, Domínguez in LF? Or maybe they take a stab at Bregman? -
Is a Tucker extension after the Soto and Fried deals impossible? Cubs would have to pony up.
-
Tucker does fit what the Cubs need. HR power, elite middle of the order bat. Even if he's a 1-year acquisition he does still fit based on the OF prospects we have who should be ready in 2026, and more time in Iowa this year wouldn't hurt but they can see some PA's this year as well. Extension obviously on the table as well. One of Caissie/Alcantara could be in a deal especially if Cubs seek an extension? Maybe even a 3rd team? If Tucker is in and Bellinger and even Seiya are out i'm still ok with it given we'll have money freed to acquire quality pitching and/or another bat. But i'm not sure what Houston would be looking for. I'd bet they'd like Parades, esp. given the Astros short porch in LF. Cubs i'm sure would like to keep Paredes if they can.
-
Geez. That could very well be a good projection. Guess these are based on average outcomes. Where do i find the ZiPS projections on FG? Don't see anything for 2025 or beyond.
-
Not good for Ryno. Oh boy.
-
I read that the Yanks intend to move Judge back to RF this season. Interesting thing to say before a trade or signing but good for us.
-
Hard to say. They need depth though. 5 SP doesn't do it these days. Fried 8 years, wow. Prices have gone up to say the least.
-
That's possible. Maybe that's when Seiya's agent brought up the DH thing, but they probably wouldn't admit that anyways. We dont really know who reached out first on this. If they can score Tucker then I say keep Seiya and trade Belli. They'll probably rotate guys anyways for rest. If Seiya doesn't want to play DH most of the time because he's worst fielder of the 4 then that's his problem. Who cares if people thought he was a good fielder in Japan, that's not applicable in the bigs. They could also trade for Tucker and trade away Belli and Seiya and use DH to cycle other guys and go get a TOR SP and an extra late inning pen arm.

It means who cares if he doesn't want to DH. If he didn't whiff on routine flyballs and throw the ball 15 ft off target on most throws to home plate he might have a point.
-
Is Seiya playing for the Cubs or for his next contract? Just checking.
-
This is true. Jed is kicking tires on every nice car in the lot, as he should. Why wouldn't the Cubs be interested in Tucker if he's on the market?
-
Oh snap
