Who walks away from 350 million a year?

Instead of returning to different classes of free agents (type a, type b, unclassified) like under the old system, would it be feasible to combine the two systems. Currently the qualifying offer is set as the average of the top 125 contracts (is it aav or current year?). What if the were two types/t...

By 2020, the Cubs will have hosted 1 ASG in the previous 58 years

30 teams. 1 every 30 years. Sounds about right.

Add make it rain after selling the domain to the to do list.

Should make them feel better about moving carrasco for Soler.

Well now it's been so long I'm questioning my own knowledge. Didn't they have a salary cap back in the 90's? I'm losing it.

Either way, point still stands.

it was the 80s and they called it collusion

Andre Dawson called it bullcrap.

JAVIER Baez sounds like a mighty champion of the people and he will be a monster of baseball this year.

Agree. Thread title change, mods?

If what Olney says is correct and Dex can't find 2/20 out there, at some point, it does become feasible to bring him back and trade Soler + for the best pitching you can get, right? Trade Coghlan, not Soler. Fowler is an upgrade and a much better roster fit than Coghlan, swapping Fowler for Soler d...

I'll pay you to change your sig to literally anything else.

Seconded

Very interesting. For all the talk of the Cubs tanking for high draft picks, there's surprisingly little from draft picks there. Although Cubs draftees were involved in some of those trades (cashner and samardszija) and some of the players recieved in trades wouldn't have been acquired by a team act...

Aha. Shows 4.05 for me.

This David as a robot thing has gone through the funny/not funny cycle multiple times and gets more funny and more not funny every time around.

The answer is obviously catcher hence the "C"

not agile enough. he runs like a left fielder.

Fowler would be a huge upgrade as a 4th OF with the current OF configuration the Cubs have. Right now, the Cubs OF has 3 main issues surrounding it. They are relatively weak against LHP. Heyward absolutely needs to stay healthy or the Cubs have to scramble either putting an IF into CF or putting a ...

The one stat that demonstrates he is a star: WAR.

Translator, of course.

Beautiful outline form.

my opinion on this will shift quickly if she is right

Backup shortstop who won't play because Russell doesn't need a backup. Baez traded for Cobb. Any better?
