[Passan] Catcher Carson Kelly’s deal with the Chicago Cubs Is for two years and $11.5 million, sources tell ESPN. On a big day with the addition of Kyle Tucker, the Cubs also add to their catching depth.

we already knew this like a week ago but it’s finally done after the rule 5 draft
Another one!
Not a bad salary either. I like it
Must signing
Biggest news of the day!!
Was expecting 1 year but this works!
I think Jed is just really looking forward to the last day of the 2026 season, where he can see $120M come off the books like some kind of post-nut clarity.
Also includes a mutual option for 2027. Can make 500K in incentives each year. [Per Rogers](https://fxtwitter.com/JesseRogersESPN/status/1867719813252231246).
Rather have Jansen for $2.25M more
Good signing and allows the Cuba to work with either Amaya or Baillesteros.
Now just need to get a trade for Castillo finalized and signed more relief pitchers.
Kelly and Miguel Amaya is a great combo. If Mo Balla keeps raking he can be the third catcher/DH/etc. I think if someone gets hurt Ballesteros will come up and rake
Non-Cubs fan looming but Jordan Wicks fan
Question for yall…What’s the situation with Jordan Wicks? It appears that they do not want him to be starter for without saying it.
What do yall think is the plan with him?
Edit: spelling
Very good. Nice day for our team. They got a lot better today.
Our catching was so bad last year that Kelly, who is just average, is a pretty significant upgrade.
NGL, feels like a huge overpay
Anytime now with a closer. Sure the offense wasn’t the best, but the blown saves sank this team last year.
