Niwrad posted:Is Madrigal good? He never strikes out, he's fast, and he hits for contact, plus he's team controlled through 2026, so he's definitely a good pickup. I'm happy with the Chafin/Kimbrel/Tepera return and I could give a poo poo less about them, relievers are rarely around long enough to get attached.

I'm glad I've spent the last few years getting more interested in baseball as a whole and watching other teams, because if this was 5 years ago I'd just stop following the sport for a decade. Absolutely loving brutal. The return from a pure baseball perspective is fine, but I don't see myself going to more than one token game a year for a while. Time to buy a sox hat I guess.

beejay posted:I think everyone knew this kind of day would come for a while when they saw that all their contracts were up around the same time. I just didn't think it would happen all at once, and I figured they'd keep Rizzo a Cub until he retired. Once they traded Rizzo I figured they'd at least keep Baez. Unless you're one of the Cubs fans who is serious about the crosstown "rivalry", watch the White Sox. They've got one of the best broadcast crews, they're on regular TV a lot (and basic cable the rest of the time) and they're very good and very fun. The ballpark is whatever and TLR sucks, but the food is good.

Just realized that since my dad fell asleep during game 7, if I'm being totally honest, he'll probably never see the Cubs win a World Series.

I think the moment it became clear the club wasn't going to do everything they could to improve was when the Marlins sold off like 15 WAR from the previous season for nothing, and 2/3 of it went to the central. Like, Yelich could have been playing at Wrigley.

Atomizer posted:Yeah, I don't like making GBS threads on Heyward (or athletes in general, they're humans too and they're trying their best - except there are some outliers like Bauer that deserve all the hate they get) but that contract definitely hurts the team, and I wouldn't blame any front office for shying away from similar deals in the immediate aftermath of getting burned by one like that. And there are plenty of other examples (e.g. Chris Davis) of guys having a monster season or two and then cashing in only to fall off a cliff for the rest of their careers. Yeah, I don't understand what the issue with "buying championships" is. I'd rather have the billionaire owners of my favorite team pay very good players what their services are worth and field a contending team all the time. What I don't like about the Yankees doesn't have anything to do with them spending money. I don't know what the Dodger's secret sauce is, but player development has a lot to do with it, along with a willingness to spend on good players in the free agent market.
