I think the other 2 will also be out of their pay range.

At any level or just in Majors?

Still need another TOR arm and some relievers.

Oops

It doesn’t seem like that is the case in the Ishbia deal.

Yeah. Wild ride

They should

They won’t

Yeah, that one hospital is in Harvey.

Not when he declined the Player Option though. It was only 1 year/$15M. So the QO now gives him a possible 1 year/$22M

This. Cubs declined the 3 year option turning into 1 year player option for Imanaga. He can take 1 year QO.

You’re understanding incorrect. Cubs declined the 3 year option which gave Imanaga a $15M player option for 2026. He didn’t opt out of 3/57M. The Cubs did.

The QO is $7M more. Also wasn’t good the second half.

Unfortunately, doesn’t sound like they will spend like that.

With no track record though, I don’t think he gets it. I can see him gambling on 1 year/$22M and having no draft pick attached in a year.

Imanaga, Torres and Grisham I can see taking it.

I never said he was.

Someone will still sign Mullins as a bounce back candidate and to be their primary CF.

Michael Taylor and Mullins shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence. Like what.

I’d only do it if it means they brought in an every day 1B. As of right now, there’s still at bats available since Vargas and Sosa can play 1B. Kinda think they might as well give Sosa an OF glove though. Feels like the odd man out.

2 guys I would buy low on since Jerry is going to be cheap anyway: Casas and Detmers

Feel like it was done in good faith and an extension is being discussed/announced soon.

Shane Bieber picking up his player option is wild. He’ll now earn $16M rather than go to free agency with a $4M buyout.

Based on history, it wouldn’t be surprising at all.

Eventually, this gamble will work!
