    I agree - I'd play him every day and let him learn. But if the plan is just to platoon long term, I'd trade for his value right now.
  2. Hitch
    2, no? Mayer and Story locked in. Though both health histories scare the bejesus out of me.

    King is more a good 3 to me, but I like him. Would rather Ryan and spend prospect capital. That's what it's there for.

    Cease scares the hell out of me. And our record shows long term contracts to pitchers in their 30's (Cease is about to be) are not really this organisation's way of doing things.
  5. Hitch
    I agree with this wholeheartedly.

    I'd be surprised it a lot of those figures are correct, and stunned if Murakami gets 220/10.

    I think your problem there is that ownership are not going to fork out for long term contracts for pitchers in their 30s. They'll be okay with $22 for Gio because it's one year, and we've shown this year - you always need depth. But because of the inevitable shutout, I don't foresee Gio accepting a 1 year contract, so a no brainer for me. I think we'll almost certainly trade for a younger no2 and try to extend, and use the rest of the money on the infield/power.

    If he's only a platoon guy we should move him for pitching, then move from our outfield for infield help.

    I really don't get this deal at all. You agreed the price with him - just pay it. What good does this do anyone?
  10. Hitch
    What I don't understand about this - he and that contract is very tradeable. Why not just exercise it and take a piece in return?
  11. Hitch
    One less headache.

    Cubs have released Shota Imanaga 🤔
  13. Hitch
    Yes, but let's be honest...

    Really hard to judge. We KNOW that Alonso can play 1st, if not to a great level, but we have no idea what the other two will offer there - Schwarber was dreadful in his small sample size. Also, they seem to really value flexibility at DH. But, I'm certainly not against Schwarber. And I really like him as a person/clubhouse guy.

    I don't see it, but maybe... I would certainly like Schwarber, but it's an imperfect fit unless Bres can swing his magic trade wand.
  19. Hitch
    Not that I disagree, but what do we do with Masa then? Just a sunk $18m cost for the next two years? Try and trade him and eat just half? I don't think we can have Schwarber and Masa on this team, not for two years. I also think DD will be coming hard for him.

    Things would be so much easier to work around if Campbell could field. Just averagely if nothing else.

    I wouldn't have had Bichette in the slugger category, but looking at his numbers he has some pop to go along with his average. I'm coming more and more around to this idea if we can get him at a good deal. But... - The Athletic's Jim Bowden projects him to sign for $189 million. - NBC Sports' Matthew Pouliot recently projected Bichette would sign a massive eight-year, $216 million deal in free agency. - Baseball America projects Bichette to sign an eight-year, $240 million ...seeing as Bowden is a f'kin idiot, I'd say we're looking at somewhere between the last two contracts, which is pulling the collar away from the neck territory.
  22. Hitch
    Their problem is, they want to improve D and get more power into the line up. Two things that don't often go hand in hand. I think playing him at 2nd would see an uptick in his D. How much is questionable, however. His lack of strike outs is appealing.
  23. Hitch
    I hope (and think) they offer it, and I'm totally at peace with whichever way it goes after that.
  24. Hitch
    But do you see it as a must if the contract is 6 @ $180M? (Bregman)
  25. Hitch
    Interesting that Story hasn't immediately opted in. Most of the players have given early decisions around the league, and he's had plenty of time to consider it.
