If you live and breathe North Side Baseball, this is the place where you get the unvarnished truth about our team’s moves. Don’t be left out of the conversation. Join our community right now. Let’s get straight to the point. Northsiders, the hot stove is heating up and where there’s smoke, there’s usually our front office trying to make a calculated move. We’ve been hearing murmurss all off season linking right-handed pitcher Michael King, formerly of the Padres’s and Yankees to the Cubs. Both ESPN and MLB.com have identified Chicago as a logical landing spot. And my own sources indicate the interest is mutual and genuine. But the real news that dropped like a bombshell on Thursday wasn’t just the interest, but the potential price tag. ESPN’s Kylie McDaniel, one of the most respected analysts regarding market projections, dropped a number that honestly made me do a double take at my screen. A projected three-year contract totaling $57 million for King. Now I want you to process that number for a second in today’s pitching market where we just saw Dylan Cece an undeniable talent but one with his own inconsistencies secure a mammoth 7-year $210 million deal with the Blue Jays. The idea of landing an arm with Michael King’s upside for an average annual value AAV of $19 million seems frankly like a strategic steel. McDaniel hit the nail on the head when he noted that in the current MLB landscape, a reliable mid-rotation starter, a solid number three or four, is already costing between 15 and 20 million per season. If this $57 million projection is anywhere near the reality of what King’s agents are asking for, Jed Hoyer and his team need to act with surgical aggressiveness. We are talking about a financial commitment that doesn’t our future payroll, maintaining flexibility for other necessary bullpen or bat additions while bringing in a player who has shown flashes of absolute dominance. The markets is inflated and finding real value is the biggest challenge for any general manager. Landing a high ceiling starter for under $20 million annually is the type of move that separates pretenders from serious contenders. It’s not just about spending money. It’s about spending money smartly. And the data suggests this could be one of the smartest investments available in this transfer window, especially considering what competitors are paying for similar or even inferior arms. Drilling deeper into who Michael King is as a as a pitcher, we need to look beyond surface level numbers and understand the context of his career. King isn’t a conventional starter who has been eating innings for 5 years. He arrived in the big leagues with the Yankees primarily as a relief arm and a very effective one at that. However, he is part of this fascinating and growing trend in the modern league of pitchers successfully transitioning from the bullpen to the starting rotation, managing to maintain the quality of their stuff even with a higher pitch volume. The crux of Kylie McDaniel’s analysis, and one I fully agree with based on tape I’ve watched and background conversations, is the concept of untapped potential. McDaniel suggests King looked like a 9 figure free agent. We’re talking $100 million plus contracts before some injuries hindered his trajectory. Uh the key here is that those injuries seem to be die in the rear view mirror. If the Cubs medical staff gives the green light and considering his stuff and location remain consistent even during adjustment periods, we are looking at a highreward bet. Imagine adding a healthy, focused king to a rotation that already boasts Justin Steel and Shoto Imanaga. Suddenly, you aren’t just filling a spot, you are building one of the most formidable and dynamic rotations in the National League. The strategy here is clear. Identify talent whose market value is temporarily depressed due to past circumstances, but whose performance ceiling remains elite. If King can consistently deliver what he showed in his best moments as a starter, he will drastically outperform the value of that projected $57 million contract. It is the type of calculated wager winning teams make. Of course, the Cubs aren’t alone in this race. Other playoff contenders are sniffing around the same value, but the combination of our need for an impact arm, the allure of pitching at Wrigley Field, and the financial capacity to close this deal quickly puts us in a prime position. Bringing in King isn’t just about 2025. It’s about solidifying a pitching call for a 3 to four year championship window. It is a move that signals to us fans and the rest of the league that the front office isn’t just trying to be competitive, but is actively seeking the pieces necessary to bring another trophy to the north side of Chicago. To summarize northsiders, the possibility of signing Michael King for 3 years and $57 million is a market opportunity the Cubs simply cannot ignore, especially compared to the massive contracts being signed out there. It’s a calculated risk on an arm with elite potential that would fit perfectly into our rotation. Now, I want to hear from you. Considering the injury history versus the star potential, do you think $57 million for Michael King is the right move for our team, or would you prefer investing that money elsewhere?
