Here we go... 2022 Season.

Jed would be smarter to trade Happ. He has 2 OF that might end up on the top 100 and Suzuki. He can sell from depth. Contreras in all reality Jed should resign. He will not be able to replace him during Wilsons next deal.

Trade Wilson with an offseason extension in place to bring him back. Best of both worlds

Happ an all star with Willy

Pitching sucks ass

Getting smacked tonight

Good thing about the Cubs being bad is it gives me time back.. Starting up Call of Duty

Score 9, they lose.

Allow 2 in 11 innings, they lose.

I'll give them this much. They're versatile.

Is anyone else stunned that Jed hasn’t dfa’d Norris weeks ago or that Ross continues to use him in the situations that he does?

 

[Chicagosports89]

Lets see:

Stroman starting on Sat.
Contreras should be back for this series.
Madrigal is at Iowa on a rehab.
Smyly pitched 4 innings on July 4th. Will do a bullpen and determine if he needs another rehab or start.
Hendricks expected back post ASG.

So they are getting healthy right now. The result on the field has a bit to do with this. As they start to get to 100% then a determination should be made. This could go down to the final week for Jed to decide. 34-49 right now. 18 games left to make a decision. At best they go 10-8. 44-57. It would be too late to make a add so subtract is the natural choice. They some how keep a 70% win rate up 48-53. That makes it a tough choice. But I still see Jed selling off but it could be a mistake at that point as the momentum is pushing the Cubs into the wild card chase.

So they would have to be running 70% win until Aug for Jed to even entertain the idea. It could happen with a full strength team that is performing to their career avg.

July:
Happ .300/.344/.433 Pretty much the hot item in a trade.
Hoerner .231/.286/.269
Wisdom .200/.355/.360.
Morel .190/.346/.571
Ortega .263/.417/.421
Velazuez .211/.250/.474
Gomes .111/.111/.111
Rivas .333/.400/.389
Contreras .133/.316/.133
Suzuki .385/.429/.923 Like I said. Boost come from him.
Higgins .273/.385/.455

About it. Seiya returning has put them into this convo but the odds are against them.

It's hard to believe you were talking about this team not selling less than 10 days ago and they now have the 2nd worst record in baseball I believe

Team's so bad I am watching the mlb draft for the first time in my life

 

[wonky73]

Texas throws away a pick (this comment guarantees this guy will be a star)
Means a guy could drop to us

 

[CSF77]

I was right on Rocker going high. He should be a coffee cup and on the mound.

Not shocking with the lack of impact top pick pitching.

 

[TL1961]

Cubs select college pitcher with #7.

Cade Horton of Oklahoma.

 

[CSF77]

Plays 3B also. So could end up doing either

 

[Chicagosports89]

He didn't get drafted as a 3bman

 

[wonky73]

Quick search showed this dude as the 24th and 27th best prospect so i assume this is one of those over slot things I don't understand.

You’re joking, right?

Don’t get too concerned because some Baseball Mel Kiper put a 24 on him.

Time will tell. But a college pitcher who could move quickly is OK by me.

 

[zack54attack]

Dont relly know much. But feels like everyone wanted Cam Collier. good pass or?

Fall back plan
