[Zack Pearson] Chicago Cubs should be able to afford reunion with Kyle Schwarber

15 comments

1. We have plenty of in house DH options from Bally to an outfield rotation, I don’t see the Cubs doing that

2. I’d love this for Chicago as a city.

3. We can afford Schwarbomb and Tucker but these cheap bastards won’t do that

4. The Cubs can afford any player they want. Affording isn’t the issue.

5. They *should* be able to afford literally anyone in this FA class

6. Yea but the owners dont spend

7. They would never utilize him appropriately. He’s so protected and protects so much in that PHI lineup. Cubs wouldn’t have the threats around him.

8. Cubs are cheap with a low payroll compared to revenue. Cub fans need to hold the Ricketts accountable and put pressure on them to spend. Cheap f()CKs! GET SCHWARBER…..Bye Tucker.

9. Best we can do is help drive up the price for a team that actually does spend money.

10. They absolutely can afford it, but will they make him a reasonable offer? Wouldn’t count on it. Can’t be cutting into Ricketts’ profits now.

11. Cubs need a power hitter. Bring Schwarber back and look for pitching. I’d be happy with that.

12. We can afford. We just have this one dude who refuses to change his ways meanwhile all the other chicago sports owners despite them there teams are building up for the future or they have young talent to compete later on

13. i love schwarber but signing him only makes sense if they make some big trades or something. DH is just not a position it makes sense to add at this point. 

14. I don’t think their making any major signings this off-season. With the lockout after 2026 almost guaranteed, they are going to be the frst a loudest about being broke and needed to save money somewhere.

15. Schwarber would be nice, but there are larger holes to fill than DH, especially if Tucker doesn’t resign.

    Seiya is a liability in the field and Caissie isn’t exactly there yet.
