I'm disappointed that the Cubs didn't offer Contreras more than what the Cardinals did, but I don't mind the Bellinger and Taillon signings at all. The Cubs aren't going to be competing for a title until the bulk of their minor league stars are in the majors anyway.

There is no excuse for a major market team to rebuild for 5+ years to field a remotely competitive team. Especially in a league where half the teams arent even trying. They are bad because Jed Hoyer sucks and their owner is a cheap gently caress.

I genuinely believe that he would be a perfect signing for the Cubs. One year deal to full time DH on a retirement tour? gently caress yes

presumably LF where they've already experimented with him

though I'm not sure why you'd take a player with plus-defense upside at a premium position and move him to one of lowest skill defensive positions but hey, Preller works in mysterious ways
