Trade Talk...Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger | Chicago Cubs Baseball Rumors

[@dannyreardondr]

Praying 🙏🏻 for Ryno from England

[@51ghardy]

Fight hard, Ryno. Like You are Playing the Cardinals.

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

You go All-In on Kyle Tucker man!!! And when the SuperStar Thumper says I want 400mil to stay, you let the fans see the same thing everyone at the winter meetings is saying. Ricketts refuses to spend on Cubs. Checking with people, Alcantara would almost get it done by himself. So do you want a guy in High A on the 40man? Or a Mega Staf 3hole hitter?

[@JamesRios-ll1cw]

PRAYERS FOR RYNO!!! 🙏🙏 AND HIS FAMILY! FIGHT BROTHER AMEN 🙏

[@kellyoneal900]

Hey Mick not holding my breath blah blah blah more important praying for Ryno's health one of my favs of all time thanks Mick!!

[@kennygibbs9627]

Mick, reminds me of last year we kept waiting and still no big Name during winter meetings.

[@rosemaryrandazzo2489]

Praying for Ryno

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

That convo went like this. Mariners- We are very interested in Bellinger. Cubs- We would want 1 of your Top 4 SPs. All young guys. Mariners we would want Nico for that player. Does the conversation continue? Idk.

[@zachremsberg3925]

The conversation went more like 'We are very interested in Cody Bellinger', 'We Would want one of your starting pitchers' *Mariners hang up phone*. There is absolutely zero shot that the Mariners are trading one of their young SP for Nico either. If you want one of the young 4, its Nico + a LOT more.

[@czrad8125]

I'm bumed out waiting for them to do a deal

[@walternoworul6075]

So True ! they never seem to pull the trigger on a trade or free agent. The Riggetts should just sell the team.

[@heathenhawk853]

Unless Jed buys out His last Arb Year and signs Him to an Aaron Judge type deal You do not send the Prospect capital that will be needed to get Tucker

[@terrye6853]

Agree you don’t blow up the entire organization for Kyle Tucker, one star surrounded by a bunch of Also rans doesn’t work (see Mike trout)

[@jojo8636]

That’s why I think it won’t happen. If I was the Ricketts I would NOT let Jed trade off my top prospects knowing Jed is on his last year of his contract.

[@saisribholanivas5395]

⁠​⁠@@terrye6853🎉😅😂

[@Mcgee3880]

People don't understand, Soto got paidddddd in a historical amount. Tucker is going to FA & unless Houston really gets hooked up for seasons to come they aren't moving him at least until the deadline

[@DavidStrom-yw4iq]

I heard a Suzuki for Cease swap. True?

[@XCal1bur23]

Hey Mick, good morning. Baseball is meaningless beside the kind of fight Ryno is about to go through. Give him all of our love next time you talk to him. ❤

[@timad11]

Mick- what has Jed done or said since the end of the season that has shown any level of urgency?

[@steveburlo8010]

Cease is also available.. Tucker would be a better fit if they trade Hoerner& Bellinger. And Tallion would free up money. Soto wasn't happy with Yankees security and they Yankees were not willing to give Soto a suite In Yankees stadium mlb needs to have a cap in baseball that would curve the Yankees & Dodgers on spending

[@heathenhawk853]

The next CBA is going to be a bloodbath , Small and mid market teams are going to dig in and at minimum force no more deferred money and much harsher penalties for exceeding tax thresholds and in return the thresholds will be raised a few million, I see no way there is not a work stoppage.

[@20marzboy]

Think bell is going to get traded to the yankees, they wanted him last year and he fills 2 spots for them first base or center and they move judge to right where he is better at playing. You should speak on who you would want to get for him, i think they might try to trade nestor maybe since he seems a bit up in the air but dont think hes a great bet with his elbow stuff from the end of last season

[@G2mxrZ]

I’m sure this idea sits well with Seiya Suzuki and his agent who happens to be the same agent for Roki Sasaki. Congrats!

[@Beatlesbec]

what would you do Micky?

[@timad11]

Looks like the Cubs are all talk and no action. As usual.

[@briandaugherty4678]

I said it all last year! First Fire Hoyer!!!! Cubs won't be anything until that's done!!!

[@True-word74]

And then he walks next year when the cubs can’t sign him

[@Hunter-R-Hickey]

I understand the Astros want Suzuki and Paredes in a proposed deal with the Cubs rather than a bunch of prospects.

[@jonskleinman]

They could sign Treavor Bauer for cheep.

[@johnlenon8872]

totally. I been saying that same thing but Jed is too dumb.

[@nicholascampbell7334]

What’s the point in trading Bellinger if they aren’t going to spend the money on making the team better? They’re running out of FA’s to sign so if they keep it up they’ll have no one to sign by the time this deal gets done.

[@True-word74]

Please you sign Tucker your still behind the Mets Phils dodgers padres braves giants

[@mikestuhr2797]

Just go young OWEN IN RIGHT. SHAW AT THIRD. ALCANTRA AND TRIANTO BENCH. BEN BROWN CLOSER. IF IN CONTENTION ADD AT DEADLINE.

[@DerbyKnowledge93]

If Cubs cant sign Sasaki, then they must make a serious offer for Crochet. We have plenty of good young players that the Sox would want. The big name free agent starters are not gonna get the $$$ that they want from the Cubs.

[@DerbyKnowledge93]

I would rather have Crochet than Cease, but wouldnt it be interesting to have Cease return to the team that drafted him ? Cubs drafted him in 2014 in the 6th round. When he gets on a roll, he is a top pitcher, no doubt about that. But he also gets in a crummy groove, which is why I prefer Crochet. LETS MAKE A DEAL !!!!

[@jgphantombeats]

Crochet just apparently got traded to the red sox

[@gregthegroove]

This is the same bull crap again. You wake up and see FA after FA after FA after FA name gets signed by teams with no business in some of these signings. It’s just unbelievable really. Matthew Boyd…… GTFOH man. These guys got zero balls. They don’t wanna spend, they don’t wanna sign, they don’t trade…. Well WTF then? What’s it gonna be Jed? What a BS front office.

[@therealdjway]

Sasaki ain’t gonna happen with the impending fallout involving Suzuki. FO / Craig have no clue about Japanese culture and they just sat in a pile of shit. The Japanese players are watching. It will take the removal of Jed/Carter and lots of apologizing for yesterday’s bs.

[@heathenhawk853]

I think this is a case of Wolfe going public with the knowledge that Teams were asking about Seiya and knowing Seiya was not happy being a DH and PUTTING Jed and the Cubs in that pile of crap . Wolfe could have just stayed silent but CHOSE to go public. He will in turn not have much luck marketing His Clients to the Cubs in the future.

[@WolfsDE]

There is no damn way I would be okay with sending the Astros Owen Caissie or Matt Shaw. We have 2 pitchers and two outfielders we could easily send over for Tucker. We need to move a couple of guys to make room for him. I would still want to keep Owen Caissie. If Tucker doesn't stay, you need him in 2026.

[@mr.bohner6819]

Seiya is not a bad OF. Ppl who think this are ignorant & unable to look past a persons worst moments. When he ain't dropping camped fly balls he looks like a darn good Rightfielder. Go look at his BEST plays of the past 2 years & you'll see he's better than most.

[@jgphantombeats]

He is a DH at best
