If they trade Nico for Turning Point Shaw, I’m all set on the cubs.

Hey dudes. Just an fyi that this is a recurring issue on your website “stories”. Doesn’t seem like the app that you’re using is the best. Just passing along

Tom Ricketts is the man we all know he is. Coward just like all his MAGA buddies. This better mean they are planning to sign Tucker this offseason, or it's a fantastic fumble on a one year rental. Super disappointing they didn't get a SP.

Icy icy Cubs team at the moment and Happ is in his yearly abysmal month. Metrics say a little bad luck, but woof. We need someone to get hot (kyle Tucker? Maybe square up a ball??!?)

All you have to do it look at the owners to know the reasons. You do know you can say things bluntly, right?

@bsky.app

@support.bsky.team ok friends. It would be REALLLLLY nice if I could open the app to look up Chicago Cubs information and not have it be filled with Cub and Bear content. Not saying it can’t be in here, to each their own, but may mayyyyyybe there’s a way to filter better

They will certainly need to start letting new voices and outreach tactics into the party. I fear they are too linked to cable media and polling data. Lots of ground to make up if they want to be a relevant solution to the terror this admin will bring. We need a strong party. Not more milquetoast

Ok I’m listening 👀

Why are we posting x screenshot on here. Completely counter to getting off that disease ridden platform

Disagree here. I think an extension is going to be planned. He’s a top ten player in the league. Shaw has been reported as a potential 3B and there are lots of players in the system who can play there. This is a desperately needed bat to
Complement Suzuki

It’s a bummer, but yeah. Personally I really like Bellinger on the team but I totally see the reasoning

Because he genuinely doesn’t fit the long term plan. He will have another opt out next year, we have an abundance of prospects, Busch is the 1B, and Suzuki will shift between RF/DH. Something has to give and we genuinely need a better bat than Bellinger.

Jon Heyman is a hack tbh

You don’t understand because it’s in likelihood not what is going to happen

I’ve officially bought into “Jed’s cooking” with all the Tucker smoke (and Bellinger).

I crave pain and sadness

You came out of the woods to say this? For sure joined Bkuesky less than a year ago. If you hate the cubs so much, why are you “billcubbieblue”

For the record, I hate the idea of trading Suzuki and think the front office is a dumpster fire. have some fun and get excited about the Tucker potential!!

Right. More saying he was a HOF caliber player.

I think we’re up against the teams who lost out on Soto, but I also think Jed is fine with burning prospects and cracking future potential because his ass is on the line

The dude was the definition of clutch and had a cannon. Such a stud

True. Still think Sosa is a HOF’er even if his defense wasn’t ideal.

I hesitated on Lee and Aramis, but don’t think either were a genuine superstar? Aram was my favorite player of that generation but I dunno if he would be a superstar. Neither are HOF and I think that’s kinda where I’m benchmarking (Sosa should be HOF)

You’re not wrong but I was kinda meaning more than three years. Like a career difference maker. I know they don’t come around often, but when you’re a top earning/valued team you kinda should be able to get the absolute top tier talent.

Been banging this drum for years. It’s better to accept shitiness than expect them to change. Honest question: when was the last time we had a bonafide offensive superstar for more than a year or two? Sosa? I’m talking top five and sustained success

Neither are proven and there is a lot of what ifs with prospects.

Same. My untouchables are Shaw and MoBall. That’s it. Love Caisse, Alcantara, Shaw, Horton, Wiggins, etc but this MLB is seriously lacking and we gotta get with the program. The central is going to get curb stomped by the East and west for awhile I think

It honestly just feels like Jed shouldn’t be in the position he is in. He’s obviously good understanding talent evaluations, but he seems over his head all the time

Now that Soto is off the board, winter meetings should be interesting. I could see Bellinger heading to New York to fill RF and 1B for them.

Hot Take? Perhaps San Diego…

No shot.
