This series is a very fitting continuation of the Dodgers pantsing the Cubs all off season. Beating you on all your FA pursuits then beating you with those FA’s

If America ever had any claim at being great, it was because of programs like these. For a minuscule savings to the federal budget, hundreds of thousands will suffer and die. My contempt for the people who did this knows no bounds, and the sooner we can get them out of power, the better.

I think the notion that they want to trade Seiya as part of this has gotten a little overblown but that’s on reporters, not calling you out in the slightest. I get the worry but it doesn’t feel like a Hoyer move to get this far down the road without confidence in an extension.
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
When you’re dealing with star power you don’t really worry about position. He immediately becomes the best player on the team so who cares where he plays

We are going to learn so much about the Cubs this season. We’ll see if Jed has any sauce at all driving trades this offseason and we’ll see if Tom cares at all about winning if Hoyer is employed after they miss the playoffs again.
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
Totally get the youth perspective and the prospect of that rotation as Painter comes on is scary for an opposing NL team. I feel as a fan I often don’t think down the line as far as necessary and focus my opinions on the current season
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
Are you higher on them or just from a value perspective prefer the younger guys? They’re all great but I feel like Gilbert/Kirby fit much better on a win now team like the Phillies.
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
Seattle would do well to really put some money behind sports science into the issues with their stadium. Hard to believe it’s systemic/coaching related. Marine layer definitely plays a role but smart people can probably get to the bottom of it

As a Cubs fan I was under the impression they were the more “gettable” pair and the rumors about a Hoerner trade for one of the two seemed about right to me. Bohm may not have quite the value of Nico but it’s no big valley by any means.
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
Do the Phillies not have a place for Woo or Miller? That feels like the appropriate return for Bohm and they’re shooting a little bit too high
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
Unless he pulls off some blockbuster trade this offseason for a star like Vladdy this simply cannot happen. Small fixes need to result in another year of missed playoffs and underperformance to get that last nail in Jed’s coffin

Giving up Caissie for one whatever prospect is a total no go. You might not even give him up if you were the team getting Crochet.

If you’d prefer to get rid of the better player be my guest, but all recent news points to the Cubs projecting Shaw at 3rd and I’d much rather have Nico around than Isaac
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
He certainly wasn’t very good and he’s currently blocking Shaw so it doesn’t seem like a great deal to me. If Jed can flip him for anything I’d gladly change my tune
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
Not that Morel was good for them but it feels like the Cubs have already been burned in the Parades deal. Just adds to the common wisdom of not trading with the Rays. If they’re willing to move a guy there are red flags others aren’t seeing and it’s not just cost
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
The Reds are going to finish quite a few games ahead of the Cubs this season.
Ryan Torbet (@sharkjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
And where they do spend turns into wasted, redundant money for diminishing returns. Examples like the huge Swanson contract when Nico is as good and blocking Shaw atm; Belli blocking tons of top prospects, etc.

Not cut and dry but it feels like good insurance to have these reliable soft-ish toasters in your pen due to the volatility and frequency of injury in big velo guys. Feel like the Cubs especially have dealt with lots of injuries to their hard throwers the last few seasons
