Ok so here is my input. You really dont need a superstar player on your team if your team is well rounded. You do have to have a group or really good players though. When the Cubs were competitive with Sweet Lou. They had Aramis, D Lee, Soto, DeRosa, Soriano, Lilly, Zambrano, Dempster. The team was really really good. They didnt have an Ichiro, Vlad Sr., A Rod etc but that team was very well rounded and can compete. This Cubs team has a few pieces like Happ, Suzuki, Swanson, but everyone else is just not good enough. If you have a team like that then for sure you definitely do need that Sammy Sosa style of player. But i mean if Jed can get Castillo and Crochet and have a rotation of Steele, Imanaga, Crochet, Castillo, Taillon with Boyd as a back up and you trade Assad and Wicks. If you have that rotation you can compete with anyone.
Heck even the 2016 Cubs was a well rounded team. They had a lot of hitters but no Freddy Freeman no Francisco Lindor no Bryce Harper No Mike Trout but the key hit was made by a Ben Zobrist. But in order to have that well rounded team you have to make many moves to get to that team.
Cubs should of pulled out all the stops to keep theo Epstein he's a baseball genius he knows talent
what people dont realize is that they will make all that money back and than some in a few a few seasons
I am just as frustrated with the Cubs as any fan. But Soto wasn't realistic at that cost. I want a superstar on the cubs. I want a reason to buy that 170+ dollar jersey and be excited about the player. But we the fans pay for this team, not the owners. These 700 million dollar contracts are good for players, but they are very bad for fans. Complaining about beer prices at games, imagine what Mets beers will cost next season. Don't get me wrong, I really want one or more superstars on the cubs. But I also know that no human is worth 700+ million especially when me as the fan will pay for it.
