Maybe we can sign Buch and then trade him for WMB.
-
I must have suggested 40 WMB trades. I always felt like he was over-rated.
-
Arb raises are going up faster than the luxury tax limit,
-
What "next wave"? Finishing with great records will keep his draft picks low, the Cubs are limited in international FA signings just like everyone else and they will be facing luxury tax limits like us before too long. Theo built up the farm that produced these current stars under a much different setting than he has now. He had a very hard time rebuilding our farm while we were winning, and the system was easier for big spending teams back then. Can he rebuild the Cubs' farm system while winning? I'll believe it when I see it.
-
We had a buffer of about $7-9M before we reach the next penalty phase, assuming JD costs us $25M a year.
-
If Buch is one of the 2-3 guys we sign, I'm not going to be terribly upset. I'd just rather find someone else who is more likely to be ready day one and not get hurt during the season.
-
That's a bad sign for message boards across America.

Sale Pomeranz Kimbrel Thornburg Thanks Ben!
-
Is this another Trump rally?
-
There was a lot to not like.
-
Okay, okay, we'll add Marrero or Johnson- your choice!
-
I hope he's not upset over the rather low counter offer from the Sox. I'd love to extend him before he becomes a FA. This kid is special. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/01/mookie-betts-wins-arbitration-case-over-red-sox.html

HRam, $10M and Holt for Robertson.
-
Speaking of the PAW Roster, if Swihart, Brentz, Marrero and Johnson make the big roster due to no options remaining, then Holt and others start in AAA. SP: Velazquez, Beeks, Elias, Haley, Shepherd (Shawaryn, Lakins & Stanky in AA) RP: Workman, Taylor, Buttrey, Martin, Jerez, Cuevas, Poyner, Walden (Cosart in AA) C: Butler & Romanski 1B: Travis (Ockimey in AA) 2B: Holt/Quiroz 3B: Chavis/ de Jesus SS: Lin/Holt/ M Miller LF: Tavarez CF: Castillo RF: Barfield/Mars DH: Witte

Nobody here liked WM?
-
If Devers can hit 30, maybe we could just sign Morrison or Duda.
-
So might the other dozens of unsigned guys I'd prefer.
-
What's the f***ing use or upside?
-
Duda has a 4 year history of hitting for power. Morrison has one. Duda has injury concerns, but we're talking DH. I think they are both close, and I'd prefer Morrison, but Duda can be had for half the cost and maybe a third of the length.
-
ERod will be coming back mid season. We need a starter who can start in April and May. I seriously dou bt it can or will be Buch. I also doubt Buch can beat out many journeymen starters signing minor league deals this time of year. I guess, if he can beat out one or two, in theory, I'd take him over those two. Problem is, we won't know until it's too late. Buch sucks. Let him sign with the Yanks.
-
You mean we might actually get some legitimate Sox news tomorrow?
-
Maybe normal, but for most of our recent ring years, we got by with almost all our starts from 5-6 starters. It's bad news, if Buch gets just one start. It will mean 2 guys got hurt and at least Velazquez and Johnson had bombed out.
-
I think I'd rather have a bunch of shorter term deals than JD. I almost mentioned Watson with my Duda, Nunez & Cashner suggestion. I'd be fine with Morrison, Cashner, Watson & Phillips, but can we do that and still stay under the major penalty limit? Duda will get less than Morrison, and may be had for a 1 year deal. Much more flexibility.
-
Why else would Buch be starting? I can understand HRam doing so well, he gets the vesting option, but I'm thinking he still might not vest, even if he's doing well. (He may get injured for part of the season, or JD & Moreland might also do well, and squeeze him from enough PAs to vest.)
-
Darvish, Arrieta, Cobb, Lynn, Morrison, Moustakas, and maybe Holland. I'm keeping Hosmer out of my thoughts. I'm not sure I'd call Duda and Nunez significant, but if we signed both plus maybe Cashner, I might call that significant.
