    Ok, I get all of that. I also wasn't trying to reignite argument, so I will apologize for that. They aren't catching the Brewers, or winning a world series, that is why suggested trading away players. They aren't going to do that though. I wish they would, because I am not optimistic about next year or the year after. It doesn't matter what I think though. I know I brought up the White Sox 1997 white flag trade. I should have instead referenced the Yankees 10 years ago. We all know what happened with that. I have also said they said should trade PCA. I have only said that, because I don't want a repeat of the Sammy era. I'll try and stop dropping my thoughts though. hah. If anything I am doomer, and not a troll .

    I mean winning 90 games a year is great. They might not win 90 games this year though. They are for sure going to be worse next year though.
  3. Patrick88
    Theo really wasn't that great. He promised sustained success and a player development machine. Neither really happened. The Cubs have also only won two playoff series, since winning it all 10 years ago.
  4. Patrick88
    I am not a troll. I agree with everything you say. I just think this team needs to tear it down again.
  5. Patrick88
    Fine, I will give them credit for that. This team is headed for mediocrity though. Why keep him on a mediocre team? You want to repeat the Sammy and Ryne era again?
  6. Patrick88
    It's not though. They can't develop and don't have any top prospects. Rebuild is around the corner.
  7. Patrick88
    I wish this team would be sellers, but they have turned it around. Next year at this time you could be looking at a rebuild, and that is what we should all be rooting for. 2027 will be the year to wave that white flag. Enjoy it Cubs fans, because it will only get worse from here. Also, don't be shocked if the Brewers make a big trade and win the world series. Part of me is rooting for the Brewers though, since they have a commitment to winning and they aren't owned by Tom Ricketts.

    Matt speaks the truth though. The Cubs future is pretty bleak. 2025 and 2026 are the best you will see for a while.
  9. Patrick88
    well next year you will hear me hoping for a rebuild! If there is a season that is.
  10. Patrick88
    They could trade him for some prospects at the deadline.... I know fans do not want to hear that. This would be the Cubs version of the White Flag trade, but it is something that needs to be done.
  11. Patrick88
    sooner rather than later, this will be a rebuilding team.
  12. Patrick88
    right now, yes. We don't know what will happen the rest of the season. They for sure aren't contending next year.
  13. Patrick88
    well then you waste his career like Ryne Sandberg and Sammy Sosa. You will have superstar seasons on a medicore team. By the time the Cubs will be contending for the playoffs he will be gone.
  14. Patrick88
    The Cubs haven't developed a position player, since Mark Grace. This one will not be any different.
  15. Patrick88
    Also, the Cubs won't be contending for anything next year either. They should be focusing on a long rebuild again, and I believe that is what will be happening. Jed shouldn't be the one leading it, but he will be.
  16. Patrick88
    This organization needs a rebuild, and it needs it badly. They are in the same spot they were in 2011. In fact they were not in that great of a spot with Theo. I keep telling fans he was Andy McPhail 2.0, but fans don't want to hear it.
  17. Patrick88
    He could really jumpstart a rebuild...... now I will try to duck from Cubs fans arrows shot at me.
  18. Patrick88
    It’s not like it’s been 15 years since they have developed any kind of pitching. Another reason why this is about to be rebuild #3. Cabrera will turn it around, but on another team. Wouldn’t be shocked if it’s on the Cardinals or Brewers.
  19. Patrick88
    Getting his trade value up…
  20. Patrick88
    You could get a nice package of prospects for PCA. I will now duck out of the away.
  21. Patrick88
    I mean I would see what they could get back for PCA. I don't see them contending anytime soon and he will be around 30 by the time the rebuild is complete. Also, I mean I could see the Cubs losing over 100 games three years in a row like the White Sox.
  22. Patrick88
    Math must not be my strong suit. I meant I could see the Cubs losing over 300 games like the White Sox just did. That was over 2 two years, or three seasons.
  23. Patrick88
    there is no point in keeping him,
  24. Patrick88
    and? by the time the Cubs are ready to contend again, he will be nearing 30.
  25. Patrick88
    hope Cubs fans are prepared for 200 to 300 losses over the next 4 years, because that is where it is headed. Since it is looking like the White Sox, maybe Jed will meet the same fate as Kenny and Rick.
