    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Last night I watched the 2016 game 7 special MLB Network did and thought it was well done. It's crazy how Joe Maddon is not talked about more for pulling off one of the biggest win in baseball history. That was an epic game and was interesting to hear from him and Francona on how/why they made...

    Wrong, he had a 12.5 mil contract with a 25 mil mutual option for 2024 or a 5 mil buyout so he got paid 17.5 mil for 2023. I'm fine with this 3 year deal as it gives the Cubs some risk management. It wasn't long ago some here wanted to sign him to a 5-7 year deal which reeked of another Jason...

    I don't get it either, seems like a lot of upside with Canario and he has a lot of power too. Some here want to see Davis get a shot and he's been more hurt and less productive than Canario. I want to see what both are capable of and possibly use 1 in a deal at the trade deadline if we still...

    The 40 man move will be interesting. Do they DFA someone or is there a small trade coming. Tauchman's role becomes diminished now and he would probably be the odd man out now whenever they bring PCA up. Peralta and Smith definitely not making the opening day roster now.

    Good deal for the Cubs. This is a Carlos Correa type deal like he signed then opted out of after year 1 to sign his current deal. Gives both him and the Cubs some short term protection. I was never keen on giving him a 5-7 yesr deal with all the prospects in the system. He helps immediately...

    Crap I forgot to record it. Are they going to re-air it more this weekend?

    Glad to see the young guys have a good day. PCA looks like he is out to earn an opening day roster spot with his hustle.

    Either her or Bluder or a combo of both. Something just seems off

    I still like their odds in the NCAA tournament this year than Iowa. Talent will win out if they are focused.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    They talked about this on KXNO in the offseason after they landed no one in the portal. Apparently the SWARM collective had allotted some pretty significant dollars to be players in the portal so really makes you wonder why they couldn't land anyone. I mean ISU was able to get Natabou and...

    On That Note: Steal Away

    JD would be a strange signing as he's basically just a DH at this point. With all the multi positional players the Cubs have they use the DH to maximize defense whike keeping a bat they want in the lineup.

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    These signings are the Hosmer and Mancini spots from last season without the major league garuntees this time. At least these guys have to earn a 40 man spot and not just be handed one from opening day. I assume they still have a line out there for Bellinger if the deal is right but at this...

    I'm fine with that too. Hoping he figures it out though as he has the stuff to be a good middle of the rotation arm when he's able to locate his pitches.

    His slider is nasty, he just needs to develop another pitch and locate his pitches better as when he misses he misses badly.

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    I'm not reading too much into the 2 signings today. They are minor league deals, these are just depth moves hoping we catch lightning in a bottle with 1 maybe. Would have to make some 40 man roster moves to add anyone at this point so they'd have to have a really hot spring training and one of...

    Not a major league deal but a depth move I guess https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2024/02/19/david-peralta-signing/?fbclid=IwAR0y-T0ZJaOMNqWnhXmrZ8tm1yEruQ5_SybDRp1QNPb5dOjwqzO3hOYd-nc

    Yes Boras greed. Usually good for both him and his clients as he has the reputation of getting top dollar but for some reason it feels different this time and these remaining guys aren't going to get the monster deals they thought they would.

    ***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    The longer they wait the less money and years Boras guys will get now that spring training has started. It's been a game of poker waiting to see who is bluffing and will fold first. Hopefully this is the first time Boras finally over played his hand and his clients had to turn down better deals...

    Pick one team

    Team C hands down. That bench is loaded too. Fizer is the most dominant player to ever wear a Cyclone jersey and that roster is just loaded with a bunch of weapons that collectively is better than than what he had with the elite 8 team. No offense to Stevie Johnson Shirley and Rancik but...
