I love this post. Bears won't fire Nagy in season. It's not their MO. And whether we care or not, head coaches around the league care about that. In addition, I think the Bears have a huge job ahead of them, it doesn't matter if you fire Nagy next year or not. They are going to suck hard. So from a purely financial decision, might as well as hold onto Nagy and not pay two coaches. Plus, there isn't anyone compelling out there this year IMO. Next GM should look to remediate the cap situation right away and start building an offensive line. No matter what, you will need a good line regardless of system. Sadly, I think the Bears will have to blow up their defense pennies on the dollar because Pagano has tanked the value of damn near everyone but Hicks and their CBs.

I don't think you lock up an Adam Eaton if your end game is George Springer. You want to save that money just in case it gets you over the hump. Then you sign an Eaton. I bet my left arm they don't end up with Springer.

I don't think he has. You can't leave out relevant information. No reason why the Sox should be penny pinching like they are.

And those would be the places ripping you off. But yet, that's where the Sox got their pizza puff and fries.

Hell, Sox fans better be hoping that resigning Colome is in the cards. I can easily see them Brandon Morrow at this point.

To add to that, even if the answer is not Joc because you want something cheaper - you're better off waiting it out between Joc, Schwarber and Rosario to see who would take your lowball offer. Joc fits in with Tim Anderson and the rest of the squad. White Sox have gone full stupid though. But here come the Sox picking the option that no one saw coming. Supporters will say it's thinking outside the box. Reality says, "Washed up vets that are ridiculously cheap".

Correct. But you don't pay $10.00 for a pizza puff and fries. You pay 3.00 and get your RC with it.

Wouldn't be surprised if the White Sox look to bring James Baldwin out of retirement because "if he can stay healthy, he can help us win ball games" and because he's "Chicago Tuff". SMH.

Last 4 years for Eaton: 23 95 151 41 Last 4 years for platoon player Joc 102 148 149 43 The platoon player plays much more than the "everyday" player.

Most accurate posted of the past 20 years. Fucking awful signing. He's always injured, is an asshole, and is not a plus in any area. Is he better than the other options? Hell no. Joc at least can at least be a dependable platoon player and is healthy. Goddamn this move is awful. The more I think of it, I hate it even more. This is like paying an extra $100 on knock off Jordans when you didn't need to. This is Ryan Pace trading up for Mitchell Trubisky when there were better options available and you didn't need to use up any assets.

Why not put Joc in the field and Eloy as DH?

In the end, I don't want it to get confused. The Bears biggest problem isn't even coaching, it's Pace. Asset management is the number one job of a GM and he's been at the league bottom whether it be draft capital, cap, or talent. He's hit on some mid tier picks, and that's it.

Hold on just a minute. I hear, read, listen to Bears fans all day long asking to play to the strengths. Mitch sucks on the deep ball, Mitch sucks in the pocket, the OLine is trash. Nagy finally has a gameplan that protects him and plays to his strength. The Bears score 30. And the loss is on him? WOW. Thank you. The cap, the resources, and the fact that they've already shown dominance when they had less talent under Fangio. And the problem is, the schemes suck. Bears fans should root for improvement everywhere. The defense is better than the offense. Well the bar is low. How is the defense relative to the talent on defense? How is it relative to the league? Are they meeting expectations, have they been meeting expectations, etc? Same goes for offense and special teams. If the goal is a championship, you look for a solution in all areas, not just one.

What I'm saying is this: If the Bears scored 45 points and loss, people would still be calling for Nagy's head after today's loss. Today is not on Nagy. Today is on Pagano. Call out what the actual problems are. Pagano, is a problem.

Carrying the water? I'm not even a Bears fan. And I do think Nagy has flaws. I do not think he should stay in Chicago. I also am smart enough to realize that Pagano has turned driven a Maserati like a Hyundai and Page does not know how to build a team. Those are two much bigger issues. I also know when to give credit. Nagy and the offensive staff had a good gameplan. Nagy and the offense do not deserve to get fired like many Bears fans are asking for, for today's loss. That's on Pagano.

Typically Chicago sports fan. "Nagy is my scapegoat and until he's gone, I don't care what anyone else does." Bears ran the shit out of the ball today. They moved Mitch out of the pocket. They did everything right on offense. Defense is why they lost the game. And yet, everyone continues to ignore the defense.

Amazing how Bear fans won't give credit for the offensive gameplan, which worked well and continue to ignore how shit of a coach Pagano is.

While true, disguising is a talent as a playcaller. But tonight, Pagano was rushing 3 guys.

I don't know, it's just something I see. Pagano runs a scheme (and has done this since he got to Chicago) as if he doesn't have much defensive talent and safeguards against the homerun plays. He's driving a Maserati as if he's in a Hyundai.

As a non-Bears fan, Mack isn't the problem. It's the schemes. If the Bears had an offense that was even league average, Pagano would rightfully be getting ripped. He sucked as a head coach and I'm afraid he was better at that than he is as a DC. Packers don't deal with the blitz well, so what does Pagano do? Run a bend, don't break defense which is what you do if you have bad defense, not an elite one (before he took over).

Vaughn is not a prospect you extend early. That's asking for a Sean Kingery situation. Vaughn is also not someone who you say "Oh, we can't block him". He's a good prospect, that's it at this point. With that stated, Joc in RF and SP is the way to go for me. I think it will give you the largest ROI for next season.

Why? Pagano is trash. And why are we blaming Nagy this week? This team has a talent deficit. I don't care if they were running the I-Form all game long, they would still lose. They don't have players on the offensive side of the ball. It begins with the line and it has been ignored or mis evaluated since Cutler was yelling at his OLineman. Gotta stop the Chicago mentality of trying to find a scapegoat. Pace has been terrible with asset management. That is at the top of the list for a GM.

You need someone to catch Giolito. Coop gone, McCann gone. That's going to be tough. I do think you should have a good backup. McCann was as solid as they came.

Joc or Yasiel on a 1 year deal please.

No. As someone who follows the Dodgers religiously, Roberts is the absolute wrong guy to bring in. He's awful and I was pissed they gave him an extension when they did. He cost them the World Series against the Red Sox by sitting his best bats in favor of analytics. The man would've sat Trout if he hit righties at a .290 clip as opposed to a .291 clip against lefties. He's awful. He doesn't deserve to manage. Bench coach at best. And that's stretching it.
