    ***2023-24 MLB Off-Season Thread***

    Most exciting day in MLB offseason I can remember in a long time. Morosi reported Ohtani signing is imminent and likely in the next 24 hours. Morosi then reports Ohtani is en route to Toronto Nightengale refutes, and is later confirmed, that Ohtani was in LA. Lots of reporters sticking...

    Money and privacy. He probably wouldn’t get privacy in the major markets that were after him.

    Morosi alluding to Ohtani to the Jays.

    I wasnt in love with the idea of Glasnow until the last day or two. If you get Ohtani, Glasnow serves as the 1 year placeholder while Ohtani gets healthy Additionally, Glasnow/Hendricks combined $31 MM come off the books after next year, which gives you a chance to spend $31 MM on one pitcher...

    You got Bregman at 3B if Shaw/Morel don’t prove themselves You got Alonso at 1B if Mervis/McGeary don’t prove themselves You got Soto if both corner infield spots are covered by prospects who prove themselves

    ***2023 PGA Tour Thread***

    I think the merger only encourages leaving. If the organization you work with is comfortable enough to partner with the bad guy, why not go work for the bad guy.

    Two missing girls

    Seems crazy it’s been 11 years and we’ve learned almost nothing from the case.

    Twister Sister Summary - ladies battle, but fall to #4 Hawks

    I’m usually invested in this program but this was the first game I was really able to sit down and watch. Only negatives I really felt I saw was a lack of offensive creativity, particularly in the second half. The weird iso’s were like we thought we had Clark on our team.

    The other thing to remember throughout this offseason is Jed’s in a weird position. His contract is up after 2025, and I don’t see it being extended if he never makes the postseason, so that gives him 2 years. My newest thinking is maybe Imanaga for a long term guy, 1 year of Hoskins, 1 year of...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Cubs are still in a fine position - my only hope right now is that we don’t just band-aid all our questionable positions. I’m not big on multiple one year deals when trying to build something. I would’ve loved Glasnow to pitch for Ohtani’s year out of pitching, but I think I’d rather get someone...

    Been an exhilarating afternoon. Sounds like Jed scolded Nightengale after his meeting with the press. Jed also made it sound like nothing exciting is going to happen for the franchise during the Winter Meetings. Seems like we’re taking the wait and see aproach a la Dansby. I do think Jed...

    I don’t hate letting Ohtani go if he pushes $600 MM like is being speculated given we don’t know what he’ll be when he comes back to pitching. However, if we are out on the Ohtani market, we NEED to start grabbing guys now instead of waiting for the losers in the Ohtani market to start making...

    WBB: 2023-24 Former Cyclones Now at Other Schools Tracker

    I don’t wish ill-will on anybody, but I find it fascinating that there are posters who think anyone who leaves Iowa State to go play either in conference or at Iowa fascinating. There are 350+ WBB schools. If you were truly a die-hard Clones like some of you profess these girls were, you...

    They’re fairly common but are typically only swaps with small names. Last big one I remember was just last offseason. Braves got Sean Murphy from the A’s Brewers got William Contreras from the Braves A’s got a bunch of prospects from both teams

    Blue Jays are evidently in talks with the Padres for Soto. Seems like a fairly simple 3 way opportunity if the Blue Jays were interested. Cubs get Bichette, give up Wicks and Morel to Padres, Caissie to Jays. Jays get Soto, Caissie Padres get Morel, Wicks, and their pick of a Jays prospect

    I’ve seen that pointed out and I think it’s obviously going to drive his cost down, which may benefit the cubs, but I also have zero concerns with the “bad” data. The data essentially shows he’s an above average hitter in all facets EXCEPT incredibly below average in AVG Exit Velo, Barrel %...

    Rogers usually knows his **** so it stinks to hear his thoughts the last week or two. Sounds like we’re now in on Yamamoto. I wonder if we don’t get Ohtani if we go after both Yamamoto and Imanaga.
