  1. Just a couple of issues. Othani has an accountant and business manger I assume. Maybe not. Why not have them move the money however you see fit. Especially if you are going to help a brother out. Sounds like Othani transferred the money directly....not a good idea. If this was done in the US there are several issues involving the IRS among others. If this part of a federal probe, it may not end as nicely as MLB would hope. There is a money laundering aspect to this as well. The Dodgers may be out of another long term deal.
  2. I don't think he throws over 170 any time soon so I was thinking 80 then 150.
  3. Getz seems to have a plan. Let him throw 80 or so innings by the end of July / mid-August and shut him down. Piggy back his starts with Kopech in behind him for the same thing and see if there could still be value. Hopefully the pitch count sits around 85 per start and we call it season.
  4. I think when teams evaluated Fields in depth his stock fell. I think it proved what was seen in college.
  5. I would think he has to have some value in the clubhouse and would be a good flyer to eat innings. I think if he was total douche he wouldn't be in consideration. If Crochet is on the MLB club a 3/3 inning split with these he and Kopech makes sense. Kopech seems to have never recovered from the TJ/COVID time off.
  6. The philosophy of this organization to me stems from Kenny Williams thinking as much as JR. He was just better at getting the Ellis Burks of the world then Hahn.
  7. I'm just catching up on this thread but think the ability to consistently throw strikes is what makes Thorpe a prospect. He sounds like Giolito to me with less fastball speed but more consistency on throwing the change where he wants.
  8. I wonder if teams wanted to see Cease throw this spring as to possibly avoid what happened to Gio. Cease looks good, Let's roll!
  9. I am starting to think there is a sector of Bears fans that are dumber than cub fans. What exactly was Poles going to do with Fields? People want to blame Getsy (I did). He got another job. So now we look at Fields. It appears that potentially nobody wants him. If that is the case, the Bears should not want him either. tht is wht is happening. That is not Poles fault. In actuality it worked out perfectly. They get a better QB than what was out there last year. Yes Stroud appears to be better than thought but they were not taking him at #1. Maybe Poles turned down a 3rd round or even a 2, we don't know. What appears to have happened is that all of football sees that Fields is a great athlete but maybe not an NFL QB and not one they are investing heavily in.
  10. Their minor league system needs players as well. You'd think he was signed and named opening day starter. These are the guys that pitch in AAA and come up to start when needed. These are the moves that Hahn did not make when he should have for organizational depth.
  11. Great deal but needs to stay healthy....although you can say that about everyone in the NFL. He seemed to always have an injury going back to why they got him in the draft when they did.
  12. Hoping Patrick was a guy Getsy hung is hat on. If not, the evaluating of interior linemen by this team is not good. Jenkins and a little bit of Davis worked but the rest wen off the rails quickly.
