  2. I like Shota, but he’s 32, missed almost 2 months of the season, and got absolutely shelled over the 2nd half. It sucks, but I understand why they didn’t want to lock in 3 more years.

  3. It’s going to be interesting considering Wrigley was pitcher-friendly, and he gave up a decent amount of homers.

    While yes it sucks Shota was 32 injury bugged and got rocked for a majorty of the second half

  4. Literally yesterday at bowling “oh man, the Cubs are the 3rd team to eclipse 100 mill in Ad revenue for a season. Maybe we’ll spend like a big boy team now” and we let a guy with a 3.08 ERA over a two year stretch walk over 15 million.

  5. Fickle. I enjoyed his time here.

    You want more international signings? Post less memes.

  6. Don’t worry everyone, they’ll put that money towards acquiring another top of the rotation arm… Right? Right!?

  7. The recency bias I see on this post is crazyyyyy. I remember Hendricks would have rough starts and suddenly he was fixed. Why? Because he was with us for so long, hottovy could spot it and correct it. Also, I don’t think his injury gets talked about enough in how it affected his performance in the second half. You guys are acting like 3 years for 57 million is like 3 years for 157 million. All this talk about wanting to open up the Japanese market to then salary dump darvish and cut ties with imanaga as soon as they were able to.
