Excuse me… WHAT?
L
Cubs stole your date
L
You lost out on your bench guy.
M
The idea of the Dodgers signing a guy for $175mil to be a bench bat is really amusing. Like I’m imaging headlines about Bregman ‘hoping to play his way into a platoon role, just excited to contribute any way he can.’
S
Especially Bregman lmao. Might as well go get Correa, too. Hire Beltran as a bench coach while they’re at it.
L
Ya’ll let Devers take a hike for nothing
B
The mookie—devers—bregman saga, a tale of three fumbles
P
Don’t forget Xander
R
Trust me, I haven’t forgotten.
A
At least that one seems like a great decision.
D
Yeah , I’m a Sox fan, Red Sox Reddit is ablaze right now. Alienated Devers for (checks notes) 114 games of Bregman, who, btw sucked after he returned too early from his quad injury, rushing back to boost his FA value, but ops’d . 724 after he came back in mid July to the end of the season. Devers for Harrison, Tibbits(I think),who they traded for Dustin May, and the still twitching corpse of Jordan Hicks. But oh, the 250 million they saved on his contract will give us payroll flexibility. Unless they sign Bichette it doesn’t seem like they have any long term plan besides hoping Anthony and Mayer turn into superstars. What was it Andrew Friedman said? ” If you’re rational about every free agent, you’ll never sign anyone” or something to that effect. Henry is so fucking risk averse now it drives me crazy. 4th highest revenue in baseball and acting like a mid market team. 500+ million in revenue I believe. I keep waiting for them to go back to 2018 spending now that the contention window is open and it’s becoming clear there’s a fundamental shift in philosophy. Seems like the team has stopped trying to be East Coast Dodgers and the goal is to be a mid market team like the Tigers, Astros, though I believe the Astros have spent more the last few years. Incredibly frustrating.
N
I guess Marcelo Mayer it is.
T
As a Cubs fan, I’m probably more shocked than you are. Ricketts actually opened up the checkbook?
E
How do you feel right now?
U
The same way you’ll feel when Bellinger signs somewhere else.
B
letting bellinger go is nowhere near as bad as the red sox giving up bregman, after what they pulled with devers last year.
T
Happy to not be paying him 37 million dollars?
M
Breslow just woke up from hibernation feeling like he forgot to do something and then promptly fell back asleep
A
lol, bear joke
P
Werner: “Did I turn off the coffee?” Breslow: “No…I did.” “Did you lock up?” “…Yeah.” “Did you close the garage?” “That’s it. I forgot to close the garage. That’s it.” “No, that’s not it…” “What else could we be forgetting?” “… BREGMAN!!!”
Z
Was not expecting that one.
W
As much as I obligatorily despise the Cubs, I’m actually happy to see Ricketts not be a stingy owner for once.
A
He seems to have some kind of affinity for Bregman specifically. He was also the only guy he was willing to let Jed go above budget for last off season.
B
What does Boston do now?
S
crash out, or at least that’s what I’m doing atm
G
Can Cedanne Rafaela also play 3B
E
He does have the range to cover CF-3B, yes.
J
Talk about being “in” on Tucker and Bichette, then sign neither.
S
L
Yeah can’t wait for 15 vague tweets and then nothing happens. This lineup ain’t it
T
“We made offers we felt were competitive” and it was 4/80m
R
Rumor is Bichette is looking for $300M
L
Unfortunately Eugenio Suarez
G
That’d involve signing someone
C
We have a third basemen available. And we like to trade with Boston.
7
Arenado isn’t Breslow’s type. They have to be young and cheap.
P
When did Boston turn into a poverty franchise wtf
B
It became official with the Betts trade.
Y
Really solidified it when it became clear the Devers trade was for dumping salary.
P
> Didn’t want to pay Mookie > Probably dodged a bullet with Xander > **Did** pay Raffy but got buyer’s remorse God bless
X
When John Henry stopped giving a fuck. We traded Betts and then five months later he bought the Pittsburgh Penguins. Now, obviously those things aren’t *directly* related, but it was pretty symbolic of the fact the Red Sox were now just another asset in a ledger.
C
Like 36 yo Sonny Gray and 33 yo Wilson Contreras?
T
After announcing that 31 year old Pete Alonso was too old
P
call up St. Louis again and get Arenado?
O
Suarez
T
Marcelo Meyer
A
Cubs saving Chicago from the misery of the Bears game. EDIT: ALEX BREGMAN HAS SAVED THE BEARS SEASON
M
BREAKING: The Chicago Cubs have loaned 3B/WR Alex Bregman to the Chicago Bears in an attempt to score a touchdown in the red zone
L
It worked! Give him another extension.
