I think its:
Bears
Cowboys
Patriots
Jets
Lions
Jaguars
Bucs
that haven't played in LA yet.

2019-20 Manager Shuffle
Started this last year, might as well do it this year. The Angels fired Ausmus one year after hiring him, setting up them trying to bring back Joe to the org. Current/Filled Openings: NL: Cubs - Grandpa Ross Padres - The Tingler Pirates - Giants - Mets - the guy the Cubs should've signed in 2005 Phi...

I don't think there was an option, just rumors or something that he had been assured that he was safe and going to be the manager next year.

Re: Cubs Manager Search
I know a lot of people are predicting Girardi and while I'm obviously not going to dismiss this outright, I think they're more interested in somebody like Ross or Loretta because they want more say in the day to day running of the team (line up construction, bull pen use, etc). So to me they want a ...

Re: Mookie
The Red Sox want to compete next year despite cutting salary. They're not doing a rebuild like Baltimore and are going to be more interested in MLB/high minors pieces than maybe higher upside but farther away prospects. Contreras/Schwarber as a main piece for Betts is a good starting point. A. Who k...

Re: General Cubs Chit-Chat
16 or 17. They're tired with az right now.. If philly sweeps and the Cubs get swept they'll tie but I'm not sure about the tie breaker. That's the only team that is ahead of them that can reach them. AZ, the Mets, and Boston are all tied ir within 1 of the Cubs.

Re: 2020 roster
I think Theo goes scorched earth on this roster. I think the only untouchables are Rizzo, Javy and Hendricks. Everyone else is various levels of available. Heck Rizzo might even be available but I think they want his clubhouse presence and the Cubs probably value a 30 year old 1B with 2 years left ...

Re: Breakdown of Cubs Bullpen Options for 2020
My predictions on some of these: Free agents: Maybe Kintzler or Strop if they come cheap enough. Cedeno is probably broken. He may get a minor league offer. Club Options: Morrow is obviously gone, and the only way Holland gets his optioned picked up is if he somehow pitches lights out vs both leftie...

Also, unless I am mistaken, Underwood Jr is out of options next year and can't be on the Iowa shuttle. You are not mistaken. Kyle Ryan, Allen Webster, Alec Mills and Randy Rosario are also on that list. Rowan Wick will have an option remaining but can elect free agency if sent down. Webster and Ros...

The only way Maddon is back next year is if the Cubs win the World Series.
And even then I doubt it.

Fangraphs has him at 8.9, but what is amazing is his career def value is -165.5
Which is 34th worst.
