@Wells15Kevin If they added Kirby and moved Holmes to close out game for us would be even better lol

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@jacobzanolla If that move happens, id probably move Holmes to the pen and close out our games like he did for Yankees 2 seasons ago

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@jacobzanolla @JeffFletcherOCR This is a great trade especially if the Cubs see the same type of bat they believed MO to have in Ayers and has the raw skills, per BA(back in Nov 2025) and BN recent report of developing into a good defensive Catcher. I like this move even though ill miss Mo

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@SetupManKyle For a guy I have loved and hated for last couple years in terms of fantasy teams, its slightly better than good. Id personally love to see us get Kirby, maybe throw seiya out there and see if Trout is available lol

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@SetupManTy I haven't been on in a long while and need to change the name...I would love a Soriano and Kirby addition to this rotation. And a couple more years of control for this staff

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@DEvanAltman I think either Levine/Heyman mentioned the need for middle INF help too and we have a pretty decent group there....I wonder if Long (mostly cuz he is blocked) and Triantos and probably a Wicks or Brown

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

I hope what @MLBBruceLevine said on @670TheScore rings true about the Cubs whose reputation is not spending money but payroll may be around 240 to 250 mil by Spring Training is true! A big bat or 2 would put the Cubs in position to win thr division

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@jacobzanolla Does this mean K. Alcantara become that guy in RF? Or do they push for belli and Bichette?

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@jacobzanolla I get that, but outside of Castillo he is owed the most money, 1 yr of control after this season...for a club who wants to cut or not spend alot...just saying.

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@jacobzanolla Makes sense, maybe they would move Gilbert who is proj3cting to be owed 11.5 mil this yr and only 1 yr of control too...plus in my random proposal, they would moving off Castillo $$$

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@jacobzanolla @HotStoveCubbies Could there be a scenario where Cubs make a move for ketel and Bregman and Shaw or Nico could become a trade piece for a SP? Its a super long shot and that also probably means Wiggins is gone in that ketel trade as a center piece

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@SetupManKyle Just saying considering he went somewhere that doesn't have any Japanese players on the roster AND the teams that had the interest in him outside the Yanks and Phils...maybe it was a thing. Regardless, the Cubs could have been in on that kind of deal.

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@SamOlbur I wish the Cubs would get as creative like the LAD are...I was thinking about that scenario if the cubs offering a huge package with it being contingent on Tarik Skubal working out an extension with us since we have nothing but $ next yr. Could be a cornerstone for long term. Smh

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@MLBBruceLevine @georgeofman Steele said on the @LockedOnCubs podcast a few weeks ago he was also hoping/shooting for a 1st half as long as everything goes well and nothing gets out of whack with his recovery and ramp up

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@FullCountTommy Maybe the best way it could have been worded was, he may not be completely 100% himself until Aug/July....maybe

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@cody__cubs @Dempster46 asked what would we like to see at the winter meetings and I mentioned we sign Bregman and start with a Shaw focal point trade piece for Gore.

[shawn hendricksen @SetupManShawn]

@Dempster46 After the Cubs sign Bregman, they trade Matt Shaw and couple other pieces for Gore

@TheHoopHerald 5 seconds closely guarded...Nuff said.
