    Interesting. I should’ve added productive bat. Tyler Austin’s hasn’t taken an MLB at bat since 2019.
  2. Geographyhater8888
    They can’t add both a free agent starting pitcher and an expensive bat if they want to stay under the LT. That’s why a trade for Cabrera would be my preference for starting pitcher. I’d bet the Cubs lack of elite arms was the reason the computer models gave the Cubs the lowest World Series win probability heading into the playoffs in their simulations. Money ball with a fringe top 10 payroll.

    Cubs are log jammed with “good players”. Zach Gallen is a good player, They have enough solid middle of the rotation arms that’ll help you win a best of 11 playoff series instead of a best of 5. Cabrera and Bregman/Bichette would be my preference no matter how unlikely for the sake of novelty. You can forget about Tucker.

    If the cubs don’t add a right handed 1st baseman/versatile infielder I take it that means Busch will get more at bats vs left handed pitching?
  7. Geographyhater8888
    Can Alcantara hit though? Cubs still need a right handed bat. Nothing wrong with a fourth outfielder like Almora but I haven’t seen anything to indicate he’s our future starting corner outfielder.
  8. Geographyhater8888
    I wouldn’t mind a buffer either for Cassie’s first X amount of at bats that didn’t exist with Shaw where we endured 2 months of below replacement production from Berti/Workman/Brujan etc. Will Bellestaros split time at DH or work on catching in Iowa?
  9. Geographyhater8888
    It wasn’t directed at you specifically and I’m more guilty of this than you are.

    How many times have the bears scored 5 touchdowns in a game and lost? Off the top of my head they lost to Kyles Dad Mike 41-45 to the Redskins in 2013. Difference was that team finished 3-13, not 12-4 with another game left,
  11. Geographyhater8888
    I don’t know how Okamoto profiles a hitter but Counsel loves stacking right handed lineups vs lefties. If Cassie is penciled in as an opening day outfielder, he’d make sense as a RH DH option and or a platoon option for Busch. If Happ walks he’s also your opening day left fielder in 2027 if there’s a season or even third base depending on his versatility. For 4/$50 million there’s a fit.

    Someone needs to make a Ricketts/Hoyer complaint thread so we don’t have to preface every hypothetical Tucker/going over the LT scenario with “won’t happen because of cheap ownership”.
  13. Geographyhater8888
    He was much rawer coming out of college than advertised. The trajectory of his growth is encouraging. Still has issues with time to throw and as difficult as the Loveland and Dunervay passes were with rushers in his face, he can get away with not doing the little things right by consistently making those difficult throws. Thats why he was drafted 1. But he’s closer than he was in September.
  14. Geographyhater8888
    When Caleb consistently hits those passes then he’s finally arrived. His down the field accuracy is much better though.
  15. Geographyhater8888
    That one hurt and costed them a timeout and a couple extra plays if he runs out of bounce. Missed throws and key drops are still an issue. Bears Lead the NFL in most yards dropped by passes. But if this current team showed up im September the fraud label wouldn’t be applied.
  16. Geographyhater8888
    I care. It’s exciting to have a rookie receiver flashing the game breaking potential of a WR1.
  17. Geographyhater8888
    Caleb’s 2024-2025 league adjusted efficiency.
  18. Geographyhater8888
    Burden is our WR1. I’ve never seen Rome take over games the way he just did and Loveland’s catch radius is incredible too. Matt forte is the last bears offensive rookie to leave the same impression on me.
  19. Geographyhater8888
    49ers have possessed the ball almost 4X as long.
  20. Geographyhater8888
    Eagles also beat the Rams. Would it be intra conference record?
  21. Geographyhater8888
    Because of intra conference record?
  22. Geographyhater8888
    It was actually the panthers they didn’t punt against. To not punt while scoring over 20 points a single time has to be historic. In those games they scored 13, 16 and 24 points.
  23. Geographyhater8888
    I know as much as you do but Shaw for Cabrera is a reach. For the sake of improving the team for 2026 and beyond keeping all 3 infielders would be the best move unless we’re talking Joe Ryan. The consensus from other posters is Owen Cassie would be the main piece in a Cabrera trade. Bregman is an upgrade in the lineup and had better numbers away from Fenway and isn’t a Crawford box/green monster merchant either, he had better career numbers away. Was on pace for a 5 fWAR if he didn’t miss time from injuries and will improve the lineup vs left handed pitchers too. Maybe the bat track data projects him to age well? A +hitter to fill the void left by Tucker with the best of what’s available makes the team better. So if he doesn’t get the years he wants then I say go for it in this unlikely scenario.
  24. Geographyhater8888
    This is a possibility if Bregman doesn’t get the years he wants. Boras’s b tier clients are always the last to sign.
  25. Geographyhater8888
    Jed already floated Bregman $115 million last winter and is once again showing interest. It might not make sense but the rumors from last offseason was that Jed planned on flipping Nico for a starting pitcher if they had landed Bregman. He definitely made more sense last year though. Sign Bregman, keep all 3 infielders while still acquiring Cabrera improves the team and especially the lineup. You’ll still have your second baseman of the future when Nico walks. Shaw can still get at bats as a utility guy for a season. Trade Nico and if you turn him into a prospect to send to Miami or somewhere else you’d hope the Marlins throw in an another piece. I’d hope they have someone bigger in mind than Cabrera. Jed pursuing him again is why it’s a topic and I’d be surprised if it happens
