I think they should upgrade their A and AA rosters instead of this directionless Cubs team that’ll be 10 games under in July. Any takers on underperforming high $ vets?

I did some research. Since may Cubs are only 11-9 in games the pitching staff allowed 3 runs or less. For reference the cumulative league record for n 2024 for all 30 teams is 450-62. Scoring at a league average pace they’d be 41-30. I guess September came early for the Cubs.

$240 million payroll. 3 guys in the lineup who’ve amassed a WAR over 5 at any point in their careers and only 1 season each from Bellinger Swanson and Hoerner. Complete waste of financial resources

I agree. Unfortunately, they still operate like a mid tier team in payroll instead of a big market top 10 team, even though they are featured at #9 I believe in payroll. They aren't as aggressive as some other teams. However, getting rid of three or four contracts that make literally zero sense for us should help (Smyly, Hendricks, Bote, etc.) I' m not sure what the numbers are on J-Hey's deferred contract are so maybe that's even more money coming off the books. However, that May record for the Cubs is pretty atrocious. I just want them to pick a lane and stick to it. Either try or suck hard.

@@BrotherlyCubs Right. You’re going nowhere with complimentary players. For $94 million split between Suzuki Happ Cody and Swanson you have a cumulative 3.7 WAR, for a 9.3 WAR and $71 million you can have Judge and Soto. Those guys aren’t easy to come by obviously but $94 million to those 4 with limited track records of success is an idiotic wast of $.

I've paid attention to the Cubs all my life. And I've never seen such a waste of good starting pitching. And I mean WASTE. 20 games blown by the bullpen...count 10 more with the anemic run production support. ---Just imagine some of those early 70's clubs with this 2024 starting pitching... we are talking World Series slotted vs. the American League winner before all-star break! ...What started this current winning streak? The veteran well-paid players are hitting like the back of their baseball cards and now...run saving type defense at 3rd base! ...Plus, Crow-Armstrong has embraced the mindset of doing anything possible to get on base and scratch a run across the plate.

I think this team is too broke to fix and that they will end up selling at the deadline even though they don't have much that other teams will want. If this team ends up selling at the deadline then Jed should be fired at the end of the season. He has had plenty of time to turn this big market club into winners and he has failed to build a roster that can compete. The only thing to look forward to for the rest of the season is to get rid of the underperformers and bring up the young players so we can see if they are worth keeping or not.

I agree. I think they need to move into a youth movement once ready. I would think next year a lot of these guys should be ready in 2025. Unfortunately, I think Jed is under contract through next season. Unless Andrew Friedman is walking through that door, I doubt the Cubs move on from Jed unless he makes some pretty historically bad trades on behalf of the club.

Alonso is one of the most overrated players in MLB. He's one dimensional. If Wisdom had consistent at bats, he'd be a poor man's Alonso. No thanks. Mason Miller will sell for a ton and the receiving team will regret that decision for a decade. He's a serious injury waiting to happen. We need proven talent at multiple positions. Maybe next year. Let's sell this time.

Love Pete Alonso, kind of 1-dimensional like you said. Lots of slug and his average is up slightly from last year. It would give the Cubs a legit slugger and a feared hitter in the lineup. Probably would provide the most slug we have had since KB or Schwarbs.

Shota will be interesting. On average Japanese pitchers give up 2.5x more home runs in the MLB than they gave up in Japan. Shota gave up a staggering 18 HR.last year and 17 the year before. That translates to 40-50 HR a year in the MLB. He has great control and strikes out a lot of players so many of his home runs will be solo shots. Most likely he will be a #4 or #5 starter. But it’s not impossible that he could become a #3 if everything goes his way.

The division is weak yet Jed doesn't want to put a winning team together to take the division. First, third and center are questionable so a .500 win team outperforming is wishful thinking on Jed's part. I am afraid that this team will underperform and Jed finds an excuse to sell off the players again and continue the cycle of mediocrity. This team has the money and prospect capital to pursue the best players in the game yet they choose not to. Anyways, I enjoy the channel.
