@CubsInWisconsin @DOM_Frederic I’d be happy if they sign him, I root for the cubs regardless but there are many other positions that need to be upgraded in order to build a championship caliber team.
@CubsInWisconsin @DOM_Frederic I’m not saying add no pieces. This argument started with the idea of spending 300M on a player when your team is not in a position to win. That is a move you make when you’re a few big pieces away from being a contender. They are not close to that. They are bottom 10.
@CubsInWisconsin @DOM_Frederic An anomaly? Sure, it’s tough to do and doesn’t always work out but that’s what you build toward. What about the Astros? Braves? Dodgers? Nationals? Why are the cardinals competing every year? Spending a ton of money when you aren’t good enough to contend is a terrible plan.
@CubsInWisconsin @DOM_Frederic This would allow you the most possible cash with the best roster based on how the young guys pan out, and they might. In 2 ish years you should be getting a look at Mervis (this year), Davis, PCA, Alcantra , wicks.
@CubsInWisconsin @DOM_Frederic Peña shows you how a good prospect can replace a guy that you claim is franchise changing. I would rather spend money efficiently (because clearly they aren’t comfortable playing the Cohen game) than give a bunch of 35+ players 2-3 year deals. Those still aren’t cheap.
@Destroy_You77 @DOM_Frederic I’m referring to the Anthony Rendon deal. Adding a big name to a roster not ready to compete. They also have Ohtani and trout and still suck. You can’t just add a few guys and expect to be good. I’m not knighting for them but you have to see how these prospects he got work out.
