    Said it before, all athletes regardless of sport eventually revert back to their old, bad habits and then must retrain themselves to break them again.
  2. Hot Sauce
    We’ll always have the memories.

    He’s been very good over his career but this season in particular he’s shown some loss of mobility in the field and on the base paths.
  4. Hot Sauce
    Take cover, everybody. The anti-Happers are about to voice their displeasure.
  5. Hot Sauce
    It would be odd if it were literally anyone else. Sadly with Cohen it’s par for the course.
  6. Hot Sauce
    Did Cohen just say Nico is the best defensive center fielder in baseball?
  7. Hot Sauce
    Carson, you don’t have first to home speed, buddy.

    Happ will be the opening day LF next season and 2026 will most likely be his swan song at Wrigley. It might be an unpopular opinion now, but there's an argument to be made that Suzuki is replaceable after 2026. I don't want to see him in RF ever again. Ballesteros is tailor made to be a DH. Nico you absolutely must extend and keep. That should not even be a debate. He's playing the best ball of his career and should continue to be 4-5.5 WAR player for several more years.

    Yes. Berti has contributed nothing. Castro can spell Shaw, Swanson, or Nico. Ideally, you’d like to have another strong bench option outside of the catcher position but that just isn’t happening, so go with your best collective bench and if that means we carry three catchers so be it.
  10. Hot Sauce
    Yea, I want to keep Castro long-term. We’ve needed a super sub like him since Zobrist left.
  11. Hot Sauce
    Egregious indeed!

    Boyd has to be in the conversation for the gold glove. He’s made some fantastic plays in the field this season.
  13. Hot Sauce
    Big Z loved the blue alternates.
  14. Hot Sauce
    Unpopular opinion I’m sure based on the reception they got but I’ve seen enough of these awful blues alternates.

    Thielbar has been so nice.
  17. Hot Sauce
    Slick fielding by Caleb.
  18. Hot Sauce
    PCA fields like he’s shagging balls in BP. Takes some very unconventional routes. Not complaining, just observing.
  19. Hot Sauce
    2025 and hopefully beyond.
  20. Hot Sauce
    Very good, very fair assessment. I echo these thoughts and also gave them a C.

    We don’t know what “too high” is. I’m beating a dead horse here, but “too high” may be that teams were asking for roster players like Shaw or Horton in addition to top prospects. What we do know is that nobody else paid the price either. Some of the folks complaining that Jed didn’t sell off the farm (if that was even enough to get the deals done) are the same ones complaining that they don’t want to see Happ on the team next year and/or don’t believe Tucker is a Cub next year. So hypothetically if we sold out the farm, didn’t win the WS, and Tucker didn’t come back, guess who will be the first to log on here and complain that Jed sucked, failed, deserves to be fired into the sun? The same people complaining now that are never happy. Jed did what he did. The Cubs are still good. Nobody else acquired the players folks here wanted. Real life isn’t a game of MLB the Show where you can just trade for whoever you want as long as the trade is “fair.”
  22. Hot Sauce
    And if the Marlins wanted major league players like Shaw, Horton, etc. back they would’ve decline the package.
  23. Hot Sauce
    Imaginary scenarios are pointless since we don’t know what the cost of acquiring those players actually was. It could’ve been Horton, Shaw, Caissie. We don’t know, so there’s no sense in playing this game.
  24. Hot Sauce
    Absolutely. There was once a prospect debate of PCA vs. Vientos where some would’ve preferred the latter. Rankings don’t determine development.
  25. Hot Sauce
    I think this is probably the case and those teams wanted more back than just prospects.
