WE WERE HIS TOP CHOICE? | Cubs Baseball Channel

One guy that they didn’t get is Devin Williams. And according to reports, Devin Williams, who was with the Yankees last year, really wanted to be a Cub. Like, it was his top choice. You remember him from Milwaukee. He was great in Milwaukee. Um, but the Cubs couldn’t match the offer, which was $51 million that Williams got in a deal. um you know and and so okay um that’s what the Mets gave him. The Mets had to have a closer because the Dodgers took Edwin Diaz. So you know what I mean I don’t know that’s a bad split, right? I mean you save a little cash, you get a good closer. Um but you know how close were the Cubs to paying that and and is he you know is it worth it? I don’t know.

  4. This will continue to be the theme for cheap arse Ricketts and Jed – “We tried! That counts for something, right?”

    Same sickening story. Tom cries about “breaking even”, while raking in dough. Sad. He doesn’t care about actually fielding a World Series caliber roster. Never has.

  5. well gee, cant possibly pay a reliever more than 10m per year, right? They are balking at bringing back Brad Keller, let alone any sort of real closer.
