Not hot stove related but I saw this earlier today:

2019 was the first season an MLB player did not strikeout 190+ times since 2006.

@Regular_P this article explains the reasoning :mjcry:





y’all don’t have nothing Tucker and ped abuser whitley ain’t gonna cut it sorry

I get the logic but catchers who can thump, control the running game and handle a staff don't grow on trees. Some :snoop: contracts on Theo's books: Hayward, Kimbrel, Chatwood, Darvish (though I know you're high on him after his second half).

They're for sure re-signing Castellanos, right? Their OF talent is pretty thin besides him unless Happ breaks out.

I'm surprised there aren't any AL teams in on Schwarber.

There's mutual interest with castellonas but there's other teams interested too.I think he'll end up on the white sox or angels if the cubs don't re-sign him

for some weird reason theo epstein thinks schwarber is better than he is so I have no idea what will happen with him.I would be surprised if he got traded.I think baez,rizzo and schwarber are the 3 players who won't get moved(heyward only cuz of his contract) everybody else up for grabs for the right deal.

Smh

I would non tender Russell, trade Schwarber, Happ, Quintana, and Almora

Russell is getting non tendered,almora sucks/has no trade value,happ I don't know,quintana :camby: and I would trade schwarber too but I don't think theo will :why:

if contreras gets traded rays,padres,A's and white sox are the teams who need catchers , the cubs could get a nice haul from any of these teams
