    Why I post that is to show bats Bowden links to the Cubs/have relationships with the Cubs. Cody Bellinger prediction: Six years, $144 million, $24 AAV. I would have zero issue going with that. Jeimer Candelario: Two years, $15 Million, $7.5 AAV. I would have zero issue going with that. Matt...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Jim Bowden of The Athletic came out with his Free Agent contract predictions. I usually hesitate with these because a lot of it seems to be a guessing game so I compared his results on predicting bats to determine if he seems to be reliable. I did not include Carlos Correa because of his ****...

    Breslow is credited with renovating our broken pitching infrustructure. He’s widely considered a baseball genius and was so even during his playing days. He’s been here since 2019. That being said, I think Carter Hawkins, our GM, probably deserves much of that credit, and we will be fine

    I still have this crazy vision where you sign 1) Sign Bellinger to cover 1B 2) Sign Yoshi 3) Trade 2-3 to grab Soto. Canario, Alcantara, Ferris? 4) Trade Stroman (save $$) Morel, PCA, Brown, Triantos for Jose Ramírez and Shane Bieber I feel like the Guardians have to be close to entering a...

    - Ross is heading into a contract year. Hoyer has 2 years left and doesn't want to head into a contract year with a new coach and a with his back against the wall. Hoyer will be more aggressive than we've ever seen him before. - Cubs have to add 2 impact bats at a minimum. Letting Bellinger...

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Im confused why the Cubs announced this since Fulmer was already going to be a FA. I wonder if the Cubs are interested in signing him to a 2 year deal to cover his injury and then have him for cheap the following year.

    The Marquee Network put out a "First Base Preview" for their "State of the Cubs" and mentioned Cody Bellinger as a potential solution, but no mention of potentially trading for anyone, and even says if they don't get Bellinger back, they may have to look internally for a solution. I find this...

    ISU MBB Picked 7th in Big 12 Preseason Poll

    Crazy. A top 10 team picked to finish 7th in their conference. Big 12 is so good.

    Hadn't ever thought of this. Wonder why it hasn't been tried...his arm accuracy is what kills him and this would hide that issue. Maybe it's his small stature.

    Cubs are now rumored to be in on Juan Soto. Don't get me wrong, Alonso and Soto in a lineup is pretty damn salty, but I'm not sure how I'd feel of giving up your farm for 2 rentals who will most certainly hit free agency because of their agent. I wouldn't hate the idea of giving up the farm...

    Big 12 Conference Realignment

    After the **** show of the football season on the Big 12, this play seems pretty straightforward. Our (Big 12) brand may not sniff the SEC and B1G, but we’re going to dominate the basketball scene

    I probably would’ve just planted it right in front of the TCU cheerleaders the whole game.

    RECRUITING: Khijonn Cummings-Coleman narrows choices to two, will be in Ames for TCU game

    We got Mike Rose over Ball State, Air Force, Colgate, and Lafayette. What’s limited him from being an NFL player is his athleticism; he has high-level, NFL caliber brains and awareness, which has hidden his lack of athleticism. Which I think is important to note in things like this - our...

    The thing is, odds Alonso is a Met after next year are low. There is already speculation that they don’t like his asking price for an extension, and it’s believed he’s upset Buck Showalter was fired. So if the Mets are going to be silly with their demands, fine, they can keep him for a year...

    MLB: Trevor Bauer Exonerated?

    It's really not that confusing. Trevor Bauer was suspended 324 games, essentially the duration of his current MLB contract. This leads to him being released from the Dodgers because he was never going to pitch for them. And in addition, he lost $28 million for being suspended without pay. No...

    MLB: Trevor Bauer Exonerated?

    He was suspended for two ******* years. And then released. No team is going to sign someone who is suspended for two ******* years.

    MLB: Trevor Bauer Exonerated?

    I'm confused why some people believe Bauer can't sue the MLB. Kaepernick sued the NFL for being blackballed and made money off of it. Bauer was suspended for 2 years and will more than likely never play in the league again and was by every measure much better at his profession than Kaepernick.

    MLB: Trevor Bauer Exonerated?

    Even if he's a total, complete *******, which by many accounts, he is, that doesn't make what happened acceptable.
