    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    And how exactly do you have an agreement for an extension in hand? It is collusion to talk contract terms with a player that isn't under team control. Can you provide one example where a team has traded for an impending free agent and announced a contract extension shortly after the trade?

    There is no ability to negotiate an extension, by the receiving team, before a trade in baseball. Anyone that only has one arbitration year left is traded with that stipulation. Once he becomes the new team's property, they are able to engage in extension talk, but there is no guaranty that an...

    Yeah, adding OSU and WSU would come back to bite the Big12 in the next contract cycle. There is a reason that the Pac couldn't get a contract this time and OSU and WSU are two of the reasons why. Adding them devalues the B12 as a whole.

    IMO, now that the Pac is more or less dead, Arizona's value has dropped, since part of their value was to help kill the conference. I still prefer Arizona to UConn, but the difference between the two seems pretty minor.

    But the deal they are trying to complete won't begin until 7/01/24. I think the strike will be long over by that time.

    I don't think so. Scheer said the school was contemplating it. I think if Oregon St was thrown a life line they would grab it immediately, no thought necessary.

    Crazy Golf Stories

    Freshmen golf in a 3A school a long time ago. My teammate, in our foursome, puts three balls in the water on a short par 3. His next shot hits the tee marker and bounces about twenty yards in back and to the left of us.

    Their best trade chip is Stroman. Selling him, rather than extending him, creates another hole to fill in the offseason. I don't have a problem selling off Bellinger, or most other guys that are not going to be a part of the next good Cubs team, but at some point, you have to retain some of the...

    Are the broadcasting partners going to pay $25 million for each of San Diego St and SMU or is adding them going to dilute the value of the offer?

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Who knows? The rumored offers were reported prior to any of them signing a contract, so it isn't like the Cubs waited to see what they got before floating their extension offer. Rizzo has been interviewed and has said he thinks he can make more than what the Cubs offered, if he lasts that long...

    When you can provide a measurement of "feelings", let me know. I'd like to see where the Cubs rank. As to your comment about the top 5 revenue team. I didn't offer my opinion on the Cubs' ownership spending. I simply stated that the ownership has a pattern to how they spend. They have owned the...

    If rumors are correct, Bryant was offered a $185 million seven year contract, Baez was offered a $168 million eight year contract, and Rizzo was offered a $70 million five year contract. I'm not sure how you can say any of those offers were indications of the Cubs not valuing their players. If...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Why does this narrative about Bryant, Rizzo and Baez continue to be peddled? The Cubs' decision not to commit long-term to these guys has been correct. None of these guys have been worth the contract that the Cubs offered each of them that the player turned down. As for Ohtani, the team that...

    I think you are low on what Ohtani is going to get and Stroman is going to decline his $21 million dollar option next year unless he either sucks or gets injured.

    With the current media deal running out on June 30, 2024, at some point the conference will be stuck with whatever deal they can get for at least one year.
