@TheBlogfines Little surprised that Holmes is going for significantly more than Gausman tho

[xbЯndanx @beef209]

@OutOfTheVines I do think if Brody/Kohl actually get back to smth resembling their previous form, you’d probably be more OK letting a McGwire or Caple go in a trade

[xbЯndanx @beef209]

@OutOfTheVines What do you make of the lack of LHP in the system currently? Rn we only really have Coppola maybe Santy as impact LHP in the sys. They also didn't really target LHP in the draft either. Do you think this is just coincidence or a real strategy for the org?

@TheBlogfines Ultimately if the Cubs fall out of it, we’ll prob see a ton of Shaw, Ramirez, Alcantara in Sept, just to get an answer on them for 2027+

[xbЯndanx @beef209]

@TheBlogfines I mean, a lot of this lineup stuff is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, ultimately the veterans need to produce, it’s just frustrating to watch expensive players underperform when you could watch younger players hopefully develop like Ramirez, Shaw etc

[xbЯndanx @beef209]

@TheBlogfines Ultimately the one thing I can pin on Jed is the lack of SP depth in the upper minors. The Cubs run prevention should have allowed them to tread water thru offensive slumps, but they don’t have the pool of SP depth that MIL
has and they’ve had to stretch guys like Rea too far

[xbЯndanx @beef209]

@OutOfTheVines @brendan_cubs Ultimately, the Cubs biggest issue is the gap b/w them and MIL, What do you think the Cubs need to do differently process wise to actually bridge the gap? To me, the biggest advantage MIL has
is that they have tons of SP depth stashed in the upper minors, smth the Cubs don’t have

[xbЯndanx @beef209]

@OutOfTheVines @brendan_cubs Are you worried that locking into an IF of Nico/Dansby/Bregman long term is stunting the Cubs’ ceiling especially w/ Rojas/Shaw/Pedro offering potential offensive upside?

[xbЯndanx @beef209]

@aaronsnearly @TheBlogfines Yeah, but the pens getting healthier w/ Thielbar/Palencia coming back and guys like Rolison stepping up, they got no one even somewhat trustworthy after Assad in the rotation for at least the next couple of months

[xbЯndanx @beef209]

@TheBlogfines My guess at a minimum is that they send Brown back to AAA to get stretched out

@TheBlogfines At the very least, it happened now and not late in the season when the team can’t pivot to other options, also it means he’ll be ready early next season especially if there’s a work stoppage

@TheBlogfines Not having to give up Wiggins is a huge win in any SP trade imo

[xbЯndanx @beef209]

@TheBlogfines You prob had to either give Caissie significant playing time this year or trade him, couldn’t have him repeating AAA again and there wasn’t a spot in the majors w/o injuries, also you have Ethan Conrad as a contingency so the loss stings less
