Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic are great, and you should support them, but if you don’t have a NYT subscription you can just click “show reader” to bypass the paywall lol 😭

Matt Shaw on the move?
I like this potential fit, then we move Shaw with a couple prospects for a front of the rotation guy.
Please
I would like the Cubs to sign good players. You can disagree, that’s fine. Downvote button is not a disagree button.
Team is so unserious.
I would like this. But if you’re willing to go after Bregman then why not just go Bichette?
People disagree with me. But I still think it’s time to move on from Happ. Dodgers want an OF and I couldn’t think of a better fit for them and him. Which means you can move someone out to left. Such as maybe Busch. Then he can platoon Lefty/right matchups with Alcantara. While Bregman plays first
Please god no
Cubs fans will beg for good players and then look at half the 4+ WAR players on the market and say “ew not that one”.
But also, how many off-seasons of this FO playing things very close to the vest do we need before people stop freaking out about every single rumor?
That’s not Kyle Tucker!
Also maybe no more former Astros?
Ugh
We should be buying pitching and developing hitting. Remember last time we tried that?
At least there’s a pulse!
Bregman wouldn’t my ideal signing but he would 100% make us a better team next year.
Is his defense still good? That would be my only concern with him.
Blow my brains out.
No thanks. Ill keep Shaw
[removed]
lol no one believes they will sign shit
sign Bregman to move shaw to second to then trade hoerner to get a pitcher i guess?
but why not just sign a pitcher in the first place?
You can also listen to their podcast NorthSide Territory. Really great insights from them on there too.
Anyone but him please
This is BS. No chance this cheap ass FO on from Shaw.
And if this is real it means Nico is getting traded.
Why not spend the money on resigning Tucker?
He’s still pretty good I’d be happy not ecstatic to have him . I can’t believe some of you wouldn’t want to take him on .
Like all free agent signings, I hate it at one price and love it at another. Let’s see how this goes
Can we please stop with the Houston retreads, for the love of GOD can we just bring back Schwarber.
