The number of very good pitchers who hit arbitration and don't end up making 40+ million is...substantial. Pitching is fleeting, take the money. Organize, strike, stop negotiating away your bargaining power for your good years
-
This one is my favorite, because it was so obviously a waste of money that the prevailing spin was that they must have tons of cash to waste. The quintessential “Epstein can’t make a bad move, so this apparently bad move is actually good, QED” move.

I believe in Theo's sincerity and also think he's taking the easy way out. You can revamp the org's approach to preventing DV and dealing with those situations, but that's the relatively easy part. It's retreating into improving process while the bigger statement is to be made by actually acknowledging fans who are most hurt and conflicted by Russell's presence on the roster. It’s pretty easy to talk yourself into sincerely believing the shitty thing you are doing isn’t wrong when it’s in your self-interest to believe it.

They’re not. You cannot recover from being an abuser without removing yourself from the power that you abused. It’s like insisting you can stop being addicted to a drug without giving up the drug. He used money and his status as a baseball player to abuse women. He will continue to be an abuser until those sources of power are removed from him, and the Cubs are enablers because they don’t really care if he abuses women if he puts up a good $/war.

How many games do they project to win this year?
-
I wonder if they'd trade him back to us.

Bryce Harper loves Kris Bryant... If the Cubs have Bryant, it could enhance their chance at getting Harper. The difference is the Phillies actually want him

Are you excited for the Cubs start of the season
Hairyducked Idiot replied to CubinNY's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
...your lunch at the thought of the Ricketts' milky paws oozing over the WS trophy? Same. If the Cubs made an actual World Series run, I'd cheer for the horsefeathers-head as he lifted the trophy, like a total sellout. Half the reason it's easy to be so mad at them for all the stuff is because they were losing losers who lost last year. -

Poor Rizzo. Tiny faces are creepy -

I hope bad things happen to everyone in the organization except Javy, Bryant and Schwarber. And I’m not that worried about the last two -
Honestly if this happens again next offseason, players should strike
-
there has to be something on Netflix you can watch the pass the time, right I’m only three eps in but new Carman Sandiego is really good
-
this is dumb as horsefeathers. boras has dropped big market teams into rumors and exaggerated their involvement for as long as he's been boras. So?
-
If you’re just using the free angent and not telling him, you risk pissing off the agent you need a good relationship with. If they know, they have no incentive to keep your secret
-
Again: this is the off-season Cubs fans became Q anon
-
Maybe they just told the truth because not everything is a Machiavellian min-maxing strategy.
-
He said it, not me
-
Biggest losers on the margin for error amongst division favorites, sure. Still the best team in the division though. Sooo.... How can they "still" be the best team in the division when they weren't the best team in the division last time it was competed?
-
Vaunted Cardinals
-
Awesome...now lets see the projected WAR from returning players. I assume Cole Hamels gives you $20m worth
-
When you can’t even keep pace with the Pirates
-
Pretty sure MLB is still exempt from that. But they’d get some big fines as per CBA
-
Yeah. This thread could use good news or distractions but I don’t think he’s ready to shoulder that load
-
Wait. Did the bears end up having an elite running game this year?
