God I hope they re-sign Fowler. Give him whatever he wants.

So I hope they let Chapman walk, and then back Brinks trucks up to Fowler and Jansen's houses so we can keep this fun going next year!

Friendly reminder to fellow Cubs posters that if you're buying WS items off MLB/Fanatics' sites, you can get a 25% off code from 20 oz Dr. Pepper bottles. You have to send in a photo of the UPC via text and it takes a few hours to get the code but a $1.79 bottle is well worth it. I saved about $70 off my order.

They're really burning through championship gear. They've almost completely sold out of those Under Armour parade jackets that just went up yesterday. I was going to get a Medium one this morning but it's gone...

I'm wondering if the Cubs Team shop at Sloan Park might end up having them. This is the part where it sucks not being local in/around Chicago, although Phoenix is almost New Chicago at this point.

Timby posted:That being said, though, Montero's always had a lovely arm and an average bat at best (and the Cubs signed him at a time when pitch framing was the new nebulous hotness), and no one expected Contreras to come up with the on-base skills and defensive abilities that he did. I'm sure it stings, Montero, but you kind of sucked for most of this year. Cubs didn't sign him, the Diamondbacks did. Cubs traded for him expecting he'd be a multi-year mentor to Contreras/Schwarber once called up, in addition to Ross.

TMMadman posted:How long did it take you to hear back from them? I texted yesterday and sent a picture at the same time, but I haven't heard back from them. So I texted again and sent a different picture of the same UPC after the automated response this morning, but I still haven't heard anything back from them. I think they might be getting slammed now, or some delay, as the one I sent this morning hasn't gotten a response yet to the picture itself yet. Did you get an initial response back after just texting "football" to it?

FYI Under Armour's Twitter shows a few different inquiries into the parade jacket, but the official twitter account said no additional production runs/shipments are currently planned. So congrats to the 100 people who got them.

Yeah I saw that one, but there was also this one: https://twitter.com/AskTeamUA/status/795015797974429697 So maybe different people responding? I'll have to find my Twitter login and send them a question about it to help drive demand for another run. I'm back in Phoenix now too so I'm going to go by the Team Shop at Sloan Park tomorrow to see if they have any.

It sounds like the Cubs aren't really pushing to re-sign Chapman (thank god) or really pursuing after Jensen, so I wonder if they'll go back to having Rondon as the closer next year, or will try out Edwards?

Niwrad posted:Sounds right, Theo has never been one to put a bunch of money into the bullpen. And $80m+ to Chapman is too risky considering once his fastball starts to go, so does he. Sydin posted:Yeah Rondon was arguably right up there with Jansen/Chapman/Britton in terms of dominance to start the year. He didn't walk a single batter in his first 14 appearances/13 IP, and around early May I remember a story about how he was pitching so well (across an admittedly small sample) that he broke the FIP formula such that he was posting a negative FIP. Then the injuries cropped up and he just never got back on the wagon. I don't think there's harm in giving him another shot, particularly if it saves the Cubs $80-100m the year before we're going to lose Lackey & Arrieta. Meanwhile make Edwards a permanent bullpen fixture and hand the 7/8/9 innings to Strop/Edwards/Rondon respectively, and if Rondon is still blowing chunks give Edwards a whirl. Even if Chapman could keep it up, I want him off the team. I was just hoping they'd look heavily at Jansen, but I'd be ok with Rondon getting another shot while Edwards is now a permanent member of the bullpen.
