I can’t see this being a good signing considering Bregman is turning 32 before the season starts.  Obviously this means Tucker is gone.  Not so horrible of a contract to debilitate the Cubs but I would have looked elsewhere.  Regardless, I truly hope Getz is trying to trade for Matt Shaw right now.

Ew.

Whatever they can afford to give up.  The guy is just turning 24 in March and put up a 3.1 bWAR in his rookie season.

I think it’s more likely Cubs keep him in semi-regular bench role or trade Hoerner and open up 2B for him.

I’m not sure I buy that.  They love Hoerner and look how quickly they were to make Shaw a bench player.  Hoerner put up a 6.2 bWAR and they are never going to get back his worth in a trade.

Why would we want Matt Shaw?

Need a RIGHT fielder

Boston has to do something now right? Not a single MLB FA signed so far. If Philly nabs Bichette, then...?

Vargas had a higher wRC+ than him last year and nearly the same fWAR.  I get the prospect pedigree, but let’s not pretend this kid is some sure fire star because of his 2025 season.  Given the players that we currently have, acquiring a RH hitting infielder with baggage who won’t come cheap seems like the worst move we could possibly make.

Do not like this for the Cums at all. Too rich for my blood for Bregman.
