man, I wish I had the positive vibes you have on this channel. This team is so frustrating to be a fan when they are not All-In, why should I be All-In if they are not? Cubs may add one SP but that'll be it, they never make the corresponding moves due to their budget. Not replacing Tucker without another star means this offense is simply not good enough to get more than 83 wins again. If Reds get Schwarber then Cubs are a 3rd place team
Shota may still get Bellinger’d.
Jed will extend Shota with 38m for 2 years and 16m this year, with club option of 22m next year with a 7m buyout!
I'm happy about this. Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy
Give Schwarbs 300 million
Anyone else not want Dylan Cease?
The owner will not pay him he is to tight
