LittleHurt05 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 30, 2017 -> 01:09 AM) Cubs a lock to reach WS; ditto Cleveland. It's destined to be a rematch and Cleveland fans shouldn't assume revenge is complete. Cubs will be loose if they get that far and win it again. Then we'll be looking at a possible threepeat? My gawd. Bartman would finally come out of hibernation if Cubs win their second in a row. Who the hell would do anything but hug him then?

greg775 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 My take: Cubs ran into the real Dodger team, not the one that lost 11 in a row. Cubs were lifeless, almost as if they'd run out of gas (if you want to take the cliche avenue for why they lost; not just crediting Dodger pitching and the redbearded star hitter). Zobrist is suddenly over the hill; no magic this series. My take: Cub pitching coach unfortunate scapegoat, but since I don't even know his name, who cares? At any rate, Cubs looked like a dead team; could be it was the Dodger pitching making them look that way. It does appear they are another 85 Bears though. Cubs one and done; just like the Sox. Only one WS for Cubbies. Now it's Sox turn again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told not to even think twice. So why should we take your prediction of Cubs “one and done” seriously? Well, even the best gamblers only win 60 percent of the time. Who would have known the Cubs would hit the brick wall after the big elimination game win over the Nats? If all the Cubs were as consistent as Rizzo the last three years (almost identical stats) they'd have won it all, though he also blew chunks in the Dodger series. Cubs magic is gone. Now they are just another team. I thought they'd have a Blackhawks type run with 3 titles in six years minimum and maybe 2 straight and 3 of 4 right off the bat.

Maddon may lose the clubhouse over this if he did it for personal reasons and if players liked the old pitching coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 That is a very interesting trade rumor. As a Sox fan, I wouldn't want to see it happen so the cubs remain stuck like pigs with Heyward's contract. As a baseball fan, it's makes sense for both teams.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Heyward is owed: $140 million over next 6 years- $28.2 (2018), $22.5 (2019), $23.5 (2020), $23.5 (2021), $24.5 (2022), $24.5 (2023). Samardzija: $19.8 in 2018, 2019, 2020 for a total of $59.4 million Melancon:$13 million (2018), $17 million (2019), $17 million (2020) Do the Giants need the $$ to take on Giancarlo Stanton's deal? Heyman has them as the frontrunners. This deal would save Giants: $5 million in 2018, $14 million in 2019, and $13 million in 2020. Jesse Rogers apparently brought up the same trade discussions on ESPN1000 today as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) I don't see how this deal makes sense for the Giants. All three contracts are bad but the Giants contracts you could eat some salary and move both guys for $0.50 on the dollar. The Heyward deal is an albatross. The Giants in total also take on about $30M in extra salary. This assumes nobody opts out and the cubs don't send money the Giants way.

BlackSox13 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Since the Giants are looking to free up some money, I'd do a James Shields for Hunter Pence/Heliot Ramos swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 28, 2017 -> 06:53 AM) Cubs have a worse time with the truth than they do with their bullpen http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/rosen...1027-story.html Bosio's firing was interesting, as we saw Maddon relying on him all postseason in regards to when to go get a guy. And yet, the hiring of Jim Hickey clearly shows the Cubs gave Maddon wide latitude in regards to who was to replace Bosio. Also makes you wonder how much Arrieta's imminent departure, and whatever hand Bosio may have had in turning him around played into the decision. Rosenbloom seizing on the transparency issue though is pretty laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
