  1. The problem is the roster is really solid so you could argue they have a complete club. Even now you might say we have our 8th and 9th inning bullpen and some good prospects for the 7th. What we don’t have are any superstars….on both O and in our pitchers. Can you win a WS that way? I don’t think so. I want another BIG bat and a top of the rotation guy. We should want both. It makes everyone better but it does cost serious coin.
  2. I feel like his comments were more of a joke, but let's see where he lands up. I keep hearing SF.
  3. Boyd and Talloin’s numbers are wrong?
  4. If I had to guess it’s King or Cabrera in a trade.
  5. That team is certainly not afraid of LT contracts.
  6. How long have people been saying he needs a third pitch? I’m sure he has worked on trying to get one for a while. But eventually he needs to be a bullpen guy unless he gets one, right?
  7. He wants to feel that “survival vibe.” 😂 How can we create that without getting rid of our Japanese players?
  8. People keep bringing up Brown as part of the 2026 plan, but what is his role?
  9. With so many contracts expiring at the end of 2026 - I’d hope we would be all in - but with this owner that never means financially.
  10. Eh I don’t know. I don’t see it. I see a pitcher in decline that gives up too many HRs. 22 million is a lot to go give to a guy who was not trusted at the end of last year. I hope to be wrong - I hope he bounces back. I love his personality and his love for Chicago.
  11. What is the plan for the offense? Anyone know?
  12. That and he is not a good defensive player. No thanks. I’m not sure how he changes the team that much except it would gut the farm.
  13. If so why didn’t the Cubs people notice that?
  14. This bothers me. $22 million for a guy who was trending terribly at the end of the year on a big market but sometimes cheaply run team? I wish he had turned it down.
  15. We need a new top of the rotation starter and if we are serious about winning a WS. Period.
  16. I’m just not sure you pay $22 mil to your number 4 starter. His velo was down at the end of the year and there was no injury.
  17. I don’t understand the QO to Shota. If he signed elsewhere, great. But there is a risk.
  18. I want Bregman or Tucker plus a #1 SP. I know that is asking a lot and sounds so unlikely with this ownership, but we are the freakin high market Chicago Cubs with a team built to win for 2026. Go. All. In.
  19. I think Cease’s metrics tell a different story. He has amazing stuff and the Cubs need elite pitching if they want to win a WS. Cease is up and down year to year but he has elite upside and would be a major upgrade over Shota IMHO.
  20. The thing about PCA is that he can still get better. He flubbed a few easier balls this year. If he cuts those out he is the best defensive player in baseball (and he still may be anyways).
  21. I’d really like them to pursue Bregman (again). He would fit in so well here.
  22. Teams know way more than we do. If teams steal signs you can use that against them. Just implement the little orphan Annie secret decoder ring and trick them.
  23. They did not even show that part on some of the replays. It was a pretty important part to get to 2 outs!!
  24. Great thanks. I did not see the run to third the first time I saw the play. And it was more like a fast walk to third. 😆 Weird play!
  25. Guys I am slow. Bear with me. How is that a double play? The ball was not caught.
