Offense needs to get better on their own we are underperforming, but the bp sucks. We need a closer like mason miller or tanner scott, but the big hole is at catcher. We need a catcher that can hit

Hoyer and his staff are not to be trusted, they will do the wrong thing. The Cubs must have a big market mind managing the club, not a small market, small minded Hoyer. Get rid of Hoyer and his staff and bring in a true big market mind to run baseball operations. Ricketts says he needs more money, that is a lie, he has made enough off the Cubs to go after Chelsea. We need a baseball President to force Ricketts to spend money on the Cubs.

The Padres trade sounds legit. Although Neris's value plummeted yesterday after blowing a save big time.

Why do we trade Tauchman who leads the team in various aspects? If we have one reliable player it’s him.
@SetupManCubs3 сағат бұрын
Do you see him being part of the championship team (if they are competing for that) in a few years? Keeping in mind the Cubs have just 2 years left of team control with him
@ibon113 сағат бұрын
As much as I would like the team to go to the playoffs I think we should concentrate on playing well and forget about the playoffs. It’s too much on peoples minds and we destroyed team after team looking for answers and the more we do that the farther we are. I think we don’t give players enough time to prove themselves and they are always under stress. You can’t play well that way.
@ibon113 сағат бұрын
We got rid of Yu and Catarini, caliber players that we lack now. It’s too much get rid of players as if they grew on trees and then you start searching for what you gave away.

@@ibon11 I understand what you mean, but this is a business, and if you don’t innovate, then you die. Look at the Pirates, Rockies, Marlins, etc. Horrible for years and years. The Pirates are just now figuring things out. But the point is, if the value of the player is high, and you know they aren’t in the picture for the team in a year or 2, it’s smart business to sell high. Tauchman’s value is probably the highest it will ever be right now

Elias Diaz is too old, but you've got the right position. The target should Samuel Basallo, a catcher currently in AA for the Orioles. He's positon blocked by Adley Rutschman so with a little enticement he might be available. I absolutely love the idea of trading for Adam Mazur, but you're taking some industrial grade pharmaceuticals if you think that's all you have to give up to acquire him. I'd offer the Pads - Mervis, Brennen Davis and Smyly (eating as much of his $$$ that you have to). Would you be open to selling PCA?
@SetupManCubs4 сағат бұрын
Idk anything about Basallo… being he’s at AA, that doesn’t solve anything now. And again, the point of that exercise was to see who they could buy to make an impact this year. For the long term, I’ll look into him. I really don’t wanna give away PCA. He is one of the few bright spots on this team now. His energy is so good

The Chicago Cubs desperately need a superstar player . Ideally Juan Soto, but considering the financial constraints with the owner I don’t see it happening . What do you think about Kyle Tucker ? It could be a more realistic option. Tucker has the potential to be a great addition to the team, especially as a number 3 or cleanup hitter and he will have an extra year of control I believe . The cubs need a superstar. I would send Alcantara Tauchman Leiter jr Triantos (bregman most likely not returning ) What do you think ?
@SetupManCubs15 сағат бұрын
I love that. Tucker is definitely a star, and even though he’s an outfielder, I’d make room for him.
