  1. Possible trade ideas, since we have nothing else to talk about now

    Just kicking around a few ideas for trades that could possible happen before the season starts. Trade 1) Cubs send Patrick Wisdom to Boston for Kenley Jansen and Yordanny Monegro. Boston is looking for a right handed power bat and looking to unload Jansen. Cubs have been looking for a pen arm...
  2. Playoff schedule idea

    Many complained about the top seeds going down so quickly this post season. Quirky idea to address that 5 and 6 seeds travel to 4 seed's place for a one game playoff after a 1 day gap after regular season for possible needed tie breaker games. Winner plays 4 seed the next night in a 1 game set...
  3. Insane trade idea

    The Padres could well be into sell off mode going into 2024 if they don't think they can be a WS contender. Their biggest trade piece is of course Juan Soto. They are currently estimated to be about 25M over the CBT. Soto's estimated arbitration number is 32M. So let's let the fantasy crazy...
  4. So about Ohtani

    With the injury to his elbow ligament and a possible 2nd Tommy John on the horizon, what do you think that does to his FA market, if anything? IMO, it probably puts him in either a 2 year prove it deal or a deal that let's him get out after 2 years and it might bring his AAV down in that time if...
  5. 2023 off season just got tighter.

    Looks like Machado is off the market for 2023 off season. First Devers and now Machado have signed extensions so the market for 3B is very light. Scarcity may bump Chapman up to a 25M AAV contract or more. At this point, the Cubs should be boning up on Stroman opting out to get a bigger deal and...
  6. A CRAZY idea to "improve" baseball

    One of the complaints you hear about baseball is how few times the best players in a line up can get an actual chance to affect the game, especially later in the game. This is due to the fact that you have 9 players on the field and you have to go through the line up to get back to the top. What...
  7. What pick do you think the Cubs wind up with in the next June Draft?

    With a dozen or so games to go for each team, the Cubs currently sit in the #8 slot. With the records of the teams worse than the Cubs, they could possibly get to #6 unless the Nats go on an insane run. I think the Cubs win 3-5 more games this season. They probably end the season with the #7...
  8. Well, the "Indians" will never win another World Series

    Just saw the breaking news on ESPN that Cleveland will no longer go by the mascot of the Indians. No word yet what they will call themselves for the 2021 season or when a new mascot will be announced. https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=1-30515645
  9. Let the crazy ideas begin here.

    Just read an article on ESPN about Boston wanting to get under the threshold next season. So the crazy idea is Bryant and Quintana for Betts and Sale. The Cubs would get the upgrade in players and Boston would get the salary relief they want. Let the flames hit.
