So maybe we can win that 6th playoff position now right?

What, 75, 76 wins gets them in?

Jesus Christ, just put fucking Hoerner there if you're going to be that fucking cheap.

I hope Ricketts has biblical losses this year.

There's no way they're paying Simmons to be a backup SS was my first thought at his signing. If there are no actual good player signings coming. It's still a tank. I'm ok with it. I'd play the "J -Hey Kid" as much as possible. He was a valuable tanking tool last year, and he'll almost certainly suck again contributing to a higher draft pick and actually having value dribbling weak grounders to the right side of the infield..

Fucking /baseball reddit said last Friday that the Cubs were going after Carlos Correa. I guess that was bullshit.

Hoerner can't possibly last 162 games. Maybe 15 before he ends up on the DL again.

Read that Jesse Winker is going to Seattle.

Why didn’t the cubs pursue him? That’s the kind of guy that doesn’t cost much and would’ve fit in perfect at Wrigley.

was watching a jomboy vlog from their spring training excursion and Ian Happ and his chums from The Compound podcast were there and there was some audio of he and jomboy shooting the shit and Happ said he thinks theyll be signing another couple of pitchers; for what that is worth.

top free agents mentioned so far today on MLB rumors are Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Kyle Schwarber. Then Freddie Freeman and Carlos Correa. Don't know why people are still so biased towards former Cubs.

Rizzo's options are dwindling quickly. The Jeter-led Marlins would have been the best fit, but Jeter and the owner clashed and now the Marlins are being cheap again. He looks like a total schmuck for insulting the Cubs' offer last off-season. Now the Yankees have traded for Josh Donaldson and DJLM can play 1B, so that option is probably closed except as a rotational piece.

They'd put DJ at first?

Yet another Cubs player who succeeded outside the Cubs.

Yes, DJ played a fair amount of 1B a couple of years ago. Plus they still have Voit. So even without Rizzo, they have five primary infielders, three of whom can play multiple positions.

Rizzo will probably end up in Boston. Short porch in right.

I think either Rizzo or Schwarber will end up back with the Cubs, as Ricketts tries to give fans some warm feelings as he goes cheap.

that would imply that Ricketts runs the front office. As a Cubs fan, I sincerely hope that does not happen.

I don't, at least not this year. I could see Rizzo back in 2024 for a farewell tour as a bench bat and late inning defensive replacement, however.

This year will be about more flippable pieces and taking advantage of poor teams.

I wouldn't mind Schwarber back now w/ the DH. And who else they really got? I think he would be very affordable and like others said, a warm fuzzy for the casual cubs fans out there.

Oh awesome. A warm fuzzy. Yeah I really missed the 90s and early 2000s style of Cubs. I wonder if Fred McGriff can be talked into playing here (eventually).

Did Kaplan write that, or Schwarber's agent?

Bruce Lavine did this 3 or 4 times with the guppy, the cubs never had interest in samardizja.

We dont want rizzo or schwarber.

If they sign Seiya Suzuki they better be right. The last thing they need is long-term bad money. Hoyer was a voice in signing Jason Heyward to bad money. Then, spewing out propaganda in defense of the disastrous signing.

I think he's (J-Hey Kid) going to continue to work hard over the winter, and I think he's trying to regain sort of where he was offensively a few years ago. But listen, he's been a great teammate, a great defender. He's helped us win in a lot of ways.
