Yes on one guy. No on the other. Jack has had a couple good years, lots of injuries and is not worth 22 Million. He will ask for at LEAST that much, as Walker Buehler got 21 Million for 9 starts last year. If Cody Bellinger, who plays at least 130 games a year the last two years, is NOT worth 27 Million, why is Jack worth 22 or 23 Million? You are betting on the come and if you are willing to do that, then Cody AND Tucker would be Cubs. Yes, Cody had 18 HRs last year. He also played with the wind always blowing in. He had broken ribs. You ever try to swing a bat after your ribs are healed, or barely healed? Never mind squeeze a bat with fractured fingers and heavily taped? The year before he had a hyper extended knee and missed 30 games but having a sore knee is different than ribs and fractured fingers. So, NO on Jack. Yes on Trevor Bauer. He will cost you ten bucks and a large pizza. He's playing for league minimum. His words. Cubs lack the courage to sign him. If you are all in, AND trying to save your job? You better take a risk while trying to stay under the cap as they could not do last year. Use that 22 Million that Jack wants and give it to Yates. We need a starter and a closer, not a starter who MIGHT start 15 games this year.
Happy Monday
It's a great day 2025 will be nothing but positive this year LFG
