This is the type of catcher I figured they’d eventually sign.

Now, need about five more Big League players to fill out the roster.

I had to take a work call and missed this then was upset when I heard everyone praising it. That was horsefeathering beautiful I’ll be honest, when I heard...

I would bet that the Bears end up with Wentz or Ryan this offseason. More likely Wentz because he's younger and knows the system. I don’t like the idea of the Bears picking up Wentz. Physically, Wentz and Trubisky are completely different QBs, but in terms of production, they’ve put up very similar...

They can definitely make it work. Watson's cap hit increase in 2022 actually sets up perfectly with the Bears being able to get out of some of the big contracts. Even if they don't cut Mack until AFTER 2022, they can save 24M by cutting Quinn and Jackson with a June 1 designation. Then there's Fole...

College HC and pro HC seem like they require different skill sets. It seems like the guys who’ve washed out transitioning from one to the other far outweigh the success stories, but maybe not. Maybe it’s just that all coaches wash out at a really high rate. The NFL HCs who went directly from college...

This has been the issue with NBA basketball for generations... At any one time there are maybe a dozen basketball players in the world that are heads and shoulders better than everyone else. The smaller teams compared to other team sports means that these elite players have a disproportionate impact...

If the Pacers just traded 1 year of Oladipo and nothing else for 3 years of Lavert, I'm fine with that. Oladipo wasn't going to re-sign with the Pacers at the end of the year. Not much difference between the two in performance at this point anyway. Lavert is 2 years younger and probably more reliabl...

Yes. But... you could argue that the team essentially already fired its offensive coordinator back in week 11.

Why not give a try? Of course, success with the Chiefs doesn't translate into success elsewhere, hitting on Maholmes like they did, while a product of good scouting, there's still an element of luck or an uncontrollable variable that broke in their favor, something that cannot be replicated. I'm al...

I’m probably the only Pacers fan here. I’m glad they brought back the whole team. I’m really curious to see what they can do with any health at all. They didn’t have Brogdon, Sabonis, Oladipo and Warren all on the court at any single time last year. I think 3rd in the East is a realistic goal, but b...

Won’t matter if the Cardinals lose to the Rams, which they will if they play anything like they did today.

I’m just assuming they’ll go 9-7 and still miss. These last-team-out scenarios never go our way. One of my earliest bears memories is listening to this game on the radio and having complete faith that Steve Young and Jerry Rice would save us: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/1995122...

Wanna hear something really dumb? I know it can never happen, but I wouldn't hate Trubisky hanging around as a backup after this year. He's fine as a backup, he's fun to root for, and he's "homegrown." It would be too weird/distraction-y and Foles is already under contract, though. rawact...

My hottest in the moment take is that if Len wanted to do radio so badly then they should've put Pat(who has very much lost his fastball) out to pasture. i don't disagree, but they'd never do that (and len would probably want nothing to do with forcing him out) aren't you my anti-vin scully buddy t...

Seems nearly impossible, regardless of the front office they've unable to find a QB guess that leaves lucking into one chances of which are slim to none. eh, they had Cutler, he was decent. unfortunately he was just overshadowed by GB pulling HOF QB's out of thin air. I think the key for the Bears ...

Fred Taylor was picked 9th.

https://mobile.twitter.com/BryanDFischer/status/1333255835175116800 I forgot how much they paid for Chase Daniel. The same year the Bears signed Daniel to that 2 year/$10MM contract, Ryan Fitzpatrick signed with the Bucs for i year/$3MM. But you can do that with that entire list of qbs. They overpa...

The Illini are ranked 8th? I've been completely checked out on them for a couple years. Are they back, back or is this kind of getting lucky with graduations? They’ve had about 3 great recruiting classes in a row and have two likely lottery picks in their starting lineup. They’re long, deep, athlet...

Restart? Watch this Board bitch and cry when they are 20 games out of first place. I don't think you understand this board if you think people here will care about the standings during the first year of a complete teardown. Or I guess maybe I don't understand the board. It will depend, right? Trade...

I think, more likely than the Cubs just sending cash with Bryant is them taking back a bad, but cheaper contract in return. So, in the Braves’ case maybe Ender Inciarte.

If the Cubs are going to tear it all down, Darvish and Hendricks would easily be their most bankable commodities in terms of prospect return.

But there’d be no reason to tie one of them to Kimbrel and reduce the return.

CubinNY wrote:Who wants to take bets that they have a worse winning % next year?

That’s more likely than not. They need to win 94 games not to have a worse winning percentage.

Based on the MLBTR contract estimates I’d be interested in some combo of; -Q 2/18 -Wong 2/16 -Profar 1/7 -Ray 1/6 -C. Hernandez 1/6 -Minor 1/6 -Desclafani 1/4 That’s close to what I was looking at. To Descalfini and Hernandez I added... JBJ 2/16 Archer 1/4 Melanson 1/4 If these contract estimates a...

Didi Gregorius without a QO is interesting. I wonder how into 2B he and his agents would be? 2B posted a 91 wRC+ in 2020, 94 and 93 in 2019 and 2018

Everyone but Bauer and Realmuto should probably jump on that QO.

This is gonna be bad, idk if there’s a season until they figure out a new CBA. The players won’t just keep going along with this. https://twitter.com/markasaxon/status/1321565765431107591?s=20 He'd be a solid pickup for second base next year YOU WATCH YOUR horsefeathers MOUTH He is among the most a...
