Marathon Watching 1/14/26 Mick , your videos are just awesome! Thank you. ❤😊 An eye out for a trade. ❤😊
I’m sorry but this channel sucks! Of course they’re spit balling but do you really believe the front office would trade Nico to the Giants for WHO and WHAT???? Right there, it should have registered the second you read that thirst trap tweet like everybody else! It does not make sense financially! Nico is a fan favorite! His jersey cant stay stocked! Nico is getting paid next offseason by the cubs and that’s that! Strike or not! Stop click baiting us my guy! We’re watching everything just like you and I’m kind of shocked you would over due these vids like your fam base is full of idiots or something! Wow
If the Cubs trade Nico Hoerner to the Yankees, they should get rookie Carlos Lagrange, a pitcher who throws at 103 mph.
Love ya Mick! We are not trading Nico unless the deal includes at least two top 100 prospects….
Keep Nico!
Matt Shaw is a bum
Cubs aren't trading Nico that infield would be better
Mick your horrible as a cubs fan. Everyone is saying it will have to be a kings ransom. It doesn’t make sense money wise. I can’t believe you’re still on this. Unfollowing asap
Having Nico at QB and Shaw at UTL is extremely valuable. Not having a bench was a huge problem for the Cubs last year. Trade Nico and put Shaw at 2B means less rest days again. Depth is important. Additionally, just like Nico said about Team USA, sure its fun to have a masher at the plate with the same on the line but when you need Someone to actually put the bat on the ball you call a guy like Horner (paraphrasing)
Cubs are a worse team w/o Nico. Only hitter that consistently puts the ball in play.
Cubs are in it to win for once. Trading Nico leaves you worse off at 2nd, so it doesn’t make sense, UNLESS you get a 2B in return who is as good. D’Backs were trying to get rid of Marte for young pitching. Maybe package Nico with Wicks/Assad/Brown (any combination of those guys). Would either team do that?
PLEASE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Trading Nico is exactly what is wrong with baseball!
You cant even buy your favorite players jersey these days, because they will be gone with in 3 to 5 years…. because of money, not performance or value to his team.
I can't imagine how Nico must feel after all his leadership and performance.
Reporters are talking up Nico because it leads to clicks. Cubs are not trading Nico.
A big year from Happ would sure help!
If we lose Nico because we overpaid for an old aging Bregman I'm going to be pissed off how fkin stupid.
Cubs really want Matt Shaw at second. Cubs better get at least a young MLB player and two top prospects.
We gotta Keep Nico!!!
If the Cubs get rid/trade of Nico, it will be yet another blunder on their part. It doesn't make any sense period to get rid of him. If they do, they will NOT be ALL IN. Stupid Ricketts and Hoyer! Incompetent idiots!
Why can't cubs do a beli trade trade Swanson with money for someone that might be good sign Nico and move him to short put shaw at 2nd
Keep keep keep Nico!
Trading Nico is a terrible idea..Cubs need to sign Nico long-term.. They could have the best infield in MLB with Nico, Swanson and Bregman.
Keep Nico this year. Make a QO next year.
That would be a dumb move
Rather get something for Nico than a draft pick
NO TRADE FOR NICO!
I would not trade Horner unless they're getting a great deal
Trade Horner for Logan Webb or Birdsong and a really good bench player that can play the outfield.
Trading Nico makes no sense …
Belli is ok w me if he’s still unsigned
If the Cubs trade Nico they will piss off an entire fan base (other than goons).
It doesn't make much sense to trade Nico unless somebody really overpays, like the Tucker deal. Why break up the best infield in baseball by trading a .300 hitting Gold Glove 2B/SS?
If the Cubs trade Nico, they will suck all the momentum and goodwill they just built up out of the room.
We could have use that 175 million to extend his contract instead of getting a old 3rd baseman when we already have a gold glove finalists rookie in Matt Shaw.
What happens when Dansby goes down???? Nico to SS and Shaw to 2nd and you don’t loose a beat!!!!
Nico > Shaw
No… I don't agree that Tucker is "a better player" than Bellinger! Tucker is WAY overrated…that's why none of the MLB money teams are willing to pay him a long-term contract.
Yeah but who's playing right
If the Cubs trade Nico, I will become a White Sox fan.
I will be OK with the Cubs training, Nico, but then I’d have to go and sign Kyle Tucker
Wouldn’t be nice if the Cubs just said that hell are the luxury tax screw it and go out and keep Kyle Tucker
Keep him and Shaw we need a bench and what happens if a person gets hurt ?
So I guess if you wear a Cubs hat, and you speak into a douchey prop microphone, it makes you an expert on the Chicago Cubs?
