Going to be hard to replace his durability so they will try and sign him again. But being near the end age wise, he will be looking for as much $ as possible.
That's the way to compete for fans with an emerging Cubs organization-acknowledge that 10 plus under .500 is acceptable. After all. There has been so much improvement during the Ventura regime.

You pull this routine on every message board. A roster that is already a World Series contender? You mean the historically bad offense? The pitching is great sure. Offense horrible.
The only thing that has changed is that we appear less desperate and may get a little more in trades because of that
Key guy was Flowers. Soto knows NL pitchers a bit but Flowers in there. That last 3 of .211. 160. And the pitcher foretold no run would be scored. Why don't try a Squeeze? Can't believe I cared enuf to post

We look like the Blackhawks the first 58 minutes of the last 10 games
Every bit the ambassador for Chicago Baseball as anyone. I was there when he was activated to bat in an additional decade. A wonderful and cheerful great player I got to see in his prime

Belisario absolutely should be released after this outing. 4 out of his last 6 games, he's gotten destroyed.
This times 10

Who are the Top 3-5 prospects for next year's draft?
Any college bats who are reminiscent of Kris Bryant, minus the elevated K rate?
We would just take another starting pitcher to have saves blown for

I wonder if Konerko would be willing to take an "Organizational hitting coach" job next year. Not the team hitting coach but one overseeing the full system.
I have a feeling you know something.........
