That makes zero sense. Out of the top 7 HR hitting teams in 2021....5 won't even make the playoffs. The White Sox are 25th....the Brewers 17th and they are pretty much locks for post season. It depends on team construction.
Little sense? Do you watch MLB?
Do you? Look at your own team....they're trading off all their HR hitters. The Cubs are one of the top 7 in HRs and one of the teams on the outside looking in at the playoffs. HR's don't mean shit anymore....try looking at runs scored. Of the Top 10 teams in runs scored....7 are probably in the playoffs and the other 3 are in contention. How many times have you watched the Cubs strand runners because they are swinging from the heels? How many times have you watched them K on a huge swing when a single was the only thing they needed...sometimes just contact is all that was needed. I'm not denying it was a trend at one time....that time is over. Teams are learning that they no longer can survive with an all or nothing attack.
He hit a bunch to left as well and quite a few warning track shots that would high off the monster. I hope he does well. Always liked him.
Not much comparatively to what the cubs have been getting, amirite?
...okay that's fine
It would be so crazy not to on the rental players if it gets a better return. They were planning on these guys being on payroll all year at the start so who cares if we pay the rest of the year
They can always bring him back in the offseason
