Is he worse than Schwarber in the OF?

I know hes not a great defender but Castellanos is only 27. Do you expect him to be a DH before hes 30?

I get why you think that but they are. Targeting and signing are a different story though.

Not that hes the greatest source. Also Cubs' 2020 luxury tax payroll to be $219.8 million — quite a bit over the $208 million luxury tax. And that's not even taking into account any offseason moves via trade or free agency.

Thought the Cubs had no money to sign any free agents? They are right against the cap.

No problem. Theres just alot of speculation/bad sources out there. This Ozuna stuff is nuts.

Where does RaBBit or other insiders say that Cease and or Kopech are on the trading block?

Cease isn't going anywhere, neither is Kopech. Waste of time to even speculate. Both have Ace potential.

There should probably be a Dallas thread started.

Whats the opposite of eyeballs on this?? Bad sauces??

Better get a huge return if trading Moncada or TA. Jimenez is untouchable. Giolito would be a great sell high guy but we desperately need pitching.

But just because Yoan was bad at second doesn't mean he can't improve. He has the tools to be an average to above average 2nd baseman. I'd rather have Madrigal there. So no one is talking about moving Madrigal to ss and TA to RF??

Realistically Rendon will probably get a contract closer to $250 mil range right?

I agree this is a far fetched idea. And this only works if Moncada or TA are on board moving to RF. I really don't want to trade Madrigal as that gives the Sox the financial flexibility to offer the large deal. Currently Dream Status

Rendon is as consistent of a hitter as there is. For a $200 + mil contract he is pretty low risk compared to others when you look at his #s. He might be a bargain compared to the next set of stars coming to FA. Betts, Bryant & Judge in the next 3 years will probably all be close or over $300 mil contracts.

Would love McNeil but that would probably involve us picking up a bad contract like Cano or Cespedes.

I'm with you on this one. Not likely but the most likely of the top 3.

You are probably right. Not a good chance of signing a top tier free agent. Hahn has been lecturing us about breaking the norm though.

Stone has been wrong alot. Including on Wheeler

Ahhhh Chuck you know Zach Wheeler isn't married right?

Lets sign Bumgarner and Puig and just brawl

Alot of Hard Passing here today

Boras gives 2 for 1 deals right?

Always a bridesmaid
