14.5 mil for multiple years for a guy that’s made 38 starts total over the past 4 seasons. Terrible.
Neither is stellar, Poles has made a few good moves, whereas Jed has made a few good moves too, very few.
So if we want to compete this year, we sign Boyd? If you want seats at Wrigley right now it’s not working. It’s mid player after mid player. This is just going to be another season we’re going to sign no star player and miss the playoffs again because we are cheap and there is no great pitching.
The offseason pessimism is at its highest…even before the winter meetings!!!😂😂 And you wonder why the fans are so pessimistic!!! Life is way more enjoyable when your glass is half full!!!😁
Luke, if the guardians are that good of a pitching organization (they are), you dont find security in the fact that they started him in the postseason?
Its clear they dont think he sucks
Ryan got a bit defensive when Cody correctly pointed out that Ryan is too much of a company man, incessantly defending moves the front office makes for the sake of being objective. Amd then straight tells Cody he is wrong after he tries to explain. No Ryan, Cody is correct, you come across quite soft on the critiques of this team
I trust anyone as long as they work for the same owners.
If recent history matters, like from Aug on and then into the playoffs? And you don't want to spend 200 Million? This is a great sign, given the potential and the depth of the cubs. It adds depth to the rotation and they still have 3 or 4 guys who can start anyway. They have about 40 or 50 million AAV and still need maybe a starter, and definitely a closer. Hit a little better and don't blow 26 saves like last year. The team is not far off and surely Cody and Dansby will play better. The 3rd baseman hit 30 dingers two years ago and Cody hit 26. It's a solid squad with tons of young talent on the roster next year, at least 3 of them will be on the team in Feb.
