this won't help the flubs, especially when they trade nico. he'll like turn out to be a big waste of $, just like turner. he'll get hurt and there goes $175mil, out the window.
Getting rid of Nico now is like when Ryno retired because Andy McPhail was considering trading him to the Dodgers in '97.
Best Cubs off season signing since Lester. ABSOLUTELY! Like 2015 however, they still need a lock down closer imho.
To compete with LA we still need to sign Tucker… All we are now is a stronger eventual NLCS loser
Tauchmann would be perfect
If they trade Nico, I will become a White Sox fan!
Don't sleep on The Jaguar. He's 23, can play good defense in CF, right handed and a near top 100 prospect.
Would throw Skubal on there for players who I would have zero injury concerns about.
110/6 for a Nico extension and it kicks in next year, would hate to see him leave in free agency.
They got Bregman now go after Bellinger and a middle tier pitcher . They got the funds for it , and keep Hoerner .
Love your channel….😎
$70M deferred? Are we paying him $20M per year?

Bregman can teach the Cubs how to cheat now!!
18 HR common. Shaw can do that. Ridiculous.
Sam Olbur and Matt Cozzi ditch their full time jobs and host Locked on Bears
Spending like a big boy club with 70 million deferred. Do it now Before the lockout and you can’t anymore. I love this move and our infield is scary.
Busch, Nico, Dansby, Bregman…
Bregman (always seems a team leader/guy, Tucker was always by himself) Bregman is consistent and Tucker is Freezing or Boiling it seems
SP: Cabrera, Horton, Taillon, Boyd, Imanaga,, Steele
And revamped bullpen.
I’m a fan of the off season so far
He mentioned the L to the Brewers so I have to say it. Counsell starting Boyd on short rest blew the NLDS and his $8 million dollar salary. I will move on when the new season starts😊
Shaw? Naw.
The problem with the Cubs is that they always will be a top 5 team moneymaker that will never stay as a top 5 money spender for the foreseeable future. The luxury tax excuse is the most embarrassing thing to keep on hearing from this organization. Paying top dollar for past performances is not really great with Bregman. He isn't gonna be the 2017- 2022 All Star player. He is gonna depreciate on the last three years of the contract I think badly . Lol .. I want them to do good but it will take a lot more than this to compete with the big dogs .
You guys are hungry? What about Seattle fans like me!!!??? We were 8 out away from our first World Series ever!!! Then again we missed it. You guys won in 2016. We have never even been there. So who is more hungry!!??

We can't trade nico, you need both bats and they with dansby make the best d infield in baseball
4 for 100m to nico and deal done. Let's go Tom you can do it
