Also like, not to swerve into kinkshaming or anything but even if Bauer is telling the truth and everything he did with every girl was 100% consensual all around, that in order to get off Bauer needs to beat the poo poo out of his partner says all you need to know about him and what kind of person he is, I think.

I can believe Bauer uses whatever website/app to find something for his kink, but there's clearly been a violation of consent. That's a big difference, and reason enough to toss the guy into a volcano regardless of whatever he does in bed.

If there are really any legs to this it's kinda odd because you'd probably need to give up actual guys for Alonso, but he's only got a year of control left and has been on record that he's expecting a ridiculously expensive extension through like his age 40 season or whatever.

I'm pretty convinced at this point Cody is gone. Both Jed and Ricketts fielded questions about re-signing him in very neutral terms, pretty much "yeah he was really good for us but we'll see what happens in FA." Compare to Hendricks, who both not only showered praise on but all but said at a minimum they'd pick his option up but would preferably try to work out a longer extension.

I don't think any of this is unreasonable, Kyle is a decision that is ours alone to make if we want it and Cody is not.

Why keep Pete Alonso who only plays one position when you could have Christopher Morel who plays many positions?

Here's the thing, though: There was more than one woman involved, and each had similar claims of extreme/visible injury and trauma. There are photos of bruising, and so on.

So. Are we being asked to believe that each case involved a woman who asked Bauer to have violent sex with them, then changed their story and tried to squeeze him for money?

And crucially, none of this matters to the individual TRO being requested by that particular woman.

If she did not have enough evidence to convince the judge there was anything there, they would have been unlikely to grant the TRO. (That's a broad generalization, please note.)

Edit: okay I'll leave this up but nobody respond

Yeah they won't trade for Alonso or re-sign Belli, lol

BUT!

If they did, I'd assume PCA is bound for Iowa. Otherwise then Belli could move to LF and Happ DH.

In a dream scenario where the Cubs got Alonso and brought back Bellinger, you can push somebody to DH. Probably either Alonso or one of Suzuki/Happ with Cody sliding over to corner OF.

Hoyer talked specifically about wanting to find a specific, long term defensive position for Morel and the only one really open for him right now is 3B, so I think they're really going to try hard to make him work there next year.

No, actually, I really loving appreciate it because my friends are talking about it and I could find no loving information anywhere that wasnt just the tweet in question. So I ask about it on other venues and im immediately called a rapist-enabler. Thank you for taking all the knives in the back from people trying to score internet points so I could get the skinny on it.

I don't think they'd want Alonso long term. He's just a one year filler since they'll be losing Bellinger. If they're bad, they can trade him at the deadline and get back some of what they gave up.

Morel is incapable of fielding a ball and throwing it in a direction that doesn't land in Schaumburg or Naperville. He is an absolute defensive butcher.
