    What has Bregman done the last six seasons that would warrant anything beyond a 2 to 3 year deal, especially at $40m AAV? He’s 32, and had a 2+ WAR vs Shaw, a rookie, who clearly got better over the course of season. Bregman is solid, but does anyone honestly believe the Cubs would or should pay this guy $40m+ the next 4-6 years?

    Wouldn’t mind seeing them run with a 6 man rotation when Steele returns… Horton, Boyd, JT, Imonaga (if back), or Rea, Ben Brown, and Steele. Ben Brown has upside and has shown there’s times where he can dominate. I know it’s been mostly bad thus far with him, but I think there’s something there with this guy.

    Make the format similar to NBA. Single elimination: -2nd wildcard hosts 3rd wildcard. -Winner plays at 1st Wildcard -Winner of that plays #1 seed, 2nd and 3rd seeds play in division series This format deservably rewards each respective division winner, and gives the top wildcard team a decisive advantage to advance.

    Apologies everyone. When I suggested trading for Luis Robert, I meant trading either Shaw or Cassie. Didn’t mean “and”.

    I did suggest improving pitching... additional of 2 late inning guys that get strikeouts to compliment Palencia. Luis Robert would steal 50-60 bases, and probably add 20-25+ home runs in a better situation than he was last year constantly hearing his name being involved in trades. i get they probably won’t sign Bichette and Kyle. For the above scenario to work, they’d need to get Bichette. As far as starting pitching goes, take your chances with what you got. When the trade deadline approaches, that’s where you add. Too many question marks that are too risky to offer what will be demanded. The best free agent starters all pitched poorly last year. If you can get a prove it deal for one year high AAV then ok. Beyond that, Cubs should pass

    The Cubs need… Two lights out relief pitchers that can blow away hitters late. Outside of Palencia I can’t recall any starter or reliever that averaged over 1k/IP Make a run for Bo Bichette. He’s 27 and just entering his prime. Put him at 3rd, and package Shaw and Cassie together for Luis Robert Jr. and put him in the leadoff spot and move Busch to the 3 hole where he belongs. The last thing the Cubs need is another guy that will hit around 20 home runs, hit .220-.230 and strike out 150-175 times. That’s what Cassie translates to at this level. Robert has speed, and He and Hoerner will be a nuisance at the top of the lineup. Make a run for Schwarber Robert Jr LF Nico 2B Busch 1B Schwarber DH Bichette 3B Crow CF Suzuki RF Amaya C Swanson SS Happ platoons in LF, CF, and DH

    How many years is Bregman looking to get? Entering 2026 season at 32, he feels primed to get a 9 year deal from the Angels. Anything beyond 4, maybe 5 years for him would be a mistake. He’s solid, doesn’t strikeout out a ton which the Cubs need. However, he’s already showing early signs of breakdown, decline.

    I’d like to see the Cubs sign Bo Bichette…if he would be willing to move to third or the outfield. With Dansby signed through 2029, that’s the best they can do from a position player standpoint. Guy hits for average, and power. And doesn’t strikeout 150+ times a year. From there I’d pursue a reunion with Kyle Schwarber. Offer him 3-4 years at an AAV of 35-40m. Lineup would look like: Busch Hoerner Bichette Schwarber Suzuki PCA Happ Swanson Amaya/Kelly Stick with the pitching rotation in place the first half of the year. Then make moves at the trade deadline for pitching.
