Bob Sacamano

Yes. Last year he played the second most games of his career in 4 full seasons and it was 100 games.

It looks like it is. Edit: gotta be the Chuckster right?

Who? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/12/white-sox-to-sign-bryse-wilson.html

Don't think he was being serious. Took the opportunity to take a jab at the pathetic Soxfest player attendance.

Same

Under easily

I think the argument he’s making is that the team’s pitching dropped off farther than other teams, but I feel like that is tough to say since the talent has also been lacking the last couple of years.

Yeah I think so too. Both made it to AAA and you want both to be getting regular time behind the plate. Tough to do when they’re both there. Unless you are literally alternating between C/DH every day.

Good bye Chuckie (probably)

Agreed and from memory, he’s below average at 3B and has seen a little 2B. Not sure he’s really an option. Would also free them up to use Nico as a trade piece.

Yeah I don’t actually trust that account.

All. The. Catchers.

But the Cubs mostly fill their stadium every game. They should be spending more being the top team in one of the biggest markets.

They definitely wanted him to opt out, that's for sure.

Agreed. I feel like there was room at 1B with him Busch at DH. But then you'd have to move either Happ or Suzuki, who I think both have full no-trade clauses.

Isn’t that 11 year deal for KC, Witt’s?

68, 98, 145, 100. The number of games Luis Robert has played in each of the last 4 seasons. Odds are he misses a good chunk of time in 2025.

Yeah I can't fully put the blame on "no protection" when it's more approach.

Not really mocking them for trying. They absolutely should be trying. I think the mocking is more about their chances.

I’m assuming Texas

Especially when it is said there is a plan for it. $740k is a decent amount too.

Yeah it probably is a bit of an overpay right now. It's their #3, #14, and the pitcher could even be outside of their top 30 for all I care. Or no 4th piece needed if you get those first 3.

Arroya Sirota (don't know much about him, just have seen his name tossed around here) Lesser pitcher Competitive Balance Pick Would people take this deal right now for Robert?

Don't really like them as a trade partner but can't hurt to have them in the mix I guess.

I'm guessing Padres or Mariners.
