Jose Abreu

I believe Kelce had some racist tweets but not sure about the other ones

no

Here's a thread of Ken Rosenthal delivering the Cubs endless praise for the situation...?

And despite all that, he's still probably a top 3 all around catcher in baseball. I also wouldn't call him a "liability" vs LHP (just based on numbers); he's certainly worse but not to the point where he would need to be platooned

They're pretty clearly going to make multiple signings

Good. No real reason for him to get consistent ABs. He was a black hole post-April

You don't remember correctly. I don't know why you need to make a dozen posts spreading misinformation when plenty of posters keep correcting you. It's not that hard to click on a link. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/colomal01.shtml

Reds non-tendered Billy Hamilton. If we're really gonna give Engel another 400+ PAs, I'd rather give them to Hamilton.

His career HR/9 is 0.8

I hope Ricky learns how to use this guy

Is Zavala not MLB ready? Trading Smith AND Narvaez tells me that the FO thinks he is.

This is just flat out untrue but this is coming from the guy who thinks the 8-3 Bears are gonna miss the playoffs

I liked Narvaez. 4 years of him for 2 years of Colome means we're trying to win now.

Doubt this has anything to do with Grandal. Castillo/Zavala are the likely catchers for 2019

Take that, Eaton

That's quite surprising to me given how outspoken he has been about pitching in our ballpark

You could argue he is "blocking" Palka/Delmonico from DH at bats

I wonder why he deleted the tweet

Didn't even know that was his nickname, but it's hilarious

Let's get a first round bye

Going after Yelich last year means we're without Eloy++ right now, *maybe* Robert instead if we gave up better complementary pieces. I know Lewis Brinson has been awful, but in terms of prospect value, he was arguably in/near the Eloy tier last offseason. If you would've been okay with that, then that's fine, but don't think we could've gotten him for much less

I think people are being way too dismissive of this, and it reminds me of the week leading up to the Dolphins game that we lost. Winning on the road is never a given.

His elite speed is already in play at 2B, where he was near the top of the league in range stats
