Theo has literally cemented his position as the greatest GM in the history of the sport, it doesn't matter what he does from now on. I'd imagine he keeps cashing those chicago checks for a bunch of years and then fucks off to make the Rockies or the Padres relevant or something.

I think branch rickey might beat him, but he's definitely top 5 and likely top 2

If this is true and it really is a straight swap as is currently rumored, the Nationals are completely incompetent. They should be able to put together a better offer than just Soler.

In any event looks like it'll be a morning headline if it happens:

Just Soler seems less like a good offer and more like the equivalent of the Royals giving the Cubs a jeep in exchange for a tricycle.

In other pitcher news, I'm super excited to see the NCAA-schools-on-steroids wooing that teams will be doing to Ohtani next year.

Also apparently the Athletics, Astros, Braves, Cardinals, Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, Nationals, Padres, Reds, and Royals will all still be under a $300k cap for IFAs so :byewhore:

The cubs have a jake arrieta sized issue to spend a fuckload of money on instead

I hope he joins the yankees because I'd like to watch him in person but not have the cubs actually face him ever

Fowler was a hired gun who didn't even re-sign with the team until Spring Training was underway this year.

Yeah but he helped win the world series so he's a cub for life*

They're both offensive. Because women are 50% of the populace it's easy for MLB to sell getting rid of demeaning costumes to the teams as a simple way to potentially expand in that demographic.

Unfortunately native Americans have next to no voice or purchasing power in our society at all, and so it's much easier for them to just keep saying "we'll fix it eventually". Please don't do the whole song and dance where one offensive thing going away was never actually offensive because this other offensive thing you care more about didn't go away yet. It's stupid.
