No Busch finally is confident playing first base and doing well and will get better this year. Bellinger needs to get traded, he's over paid and his opt outs every year are ridiculous 😵💫 we have to sit and wait, is he staying is he opting out blah blah blah ??? Be done with him please.
So who would it be that’s traded Triantos? and then maybe Alcantara sounds like a win win for the cubs being able to keep Cassie I’m high on Triantos tho but you gotta give up something to get something🤷♂️
All I know is they cannot trade Caissie in a deal for Luzardo. I even cringe at Triantos. I’m just not impressed with a guy that has a 4.29 lifetime ERA and can’t stay healthy. Trade another top 100 guy if you have to, but please, at least make sure it’s an upgrade.
Step back one year. If we traded Morel, Wesneski, and gave up at the time, an unknown draft pick, for one year of a star, everyone would have been ecstatic.
OF Depth without Bellinger: PCA, Happ, Seiya, Tucker, Cassie (We don't need Bellinger) INF Depth: Shaw, Swanson, Nico, Busch, (Gage Workman 3B/2B lefty stick Rule 5 draft), Benjamin Cowles, Luis Vasquez, Matt Mervis, James Triantos I want to see our prospects rotate in and out and figure out the future, while competing for the division which is at it's weakest point in years
Bellinger needs to go finally so everyone can move on and focus, he's really not that good in my opinion, 83 win team since he's been here? Not a difference maker , only an overpaid distraction!
Happ and Swanson are streaky hitters. As I recall last year, the Cubs had trouble scoring runs. I think they should keep Bellinger in the lineup. What if he has a year like he did in 2023 gotta keep him .!
Kyle tucker in the last 4 years has Avg 547 at bats (2 seasons of 600+ at bats).. taking his 12.1 AB per Homerun rate that would net 45HR on a season with 547 at bats.. 49 HR if he has 600 AB's 😮
I mean if we’re gonna go all out for a starting pitcher I would really like to see us get Castillo if that’s still a possibility he’s always been one of my favorite pitchers
Not a fan of adding Luzardo. He's had one good year and the others are injured. I'd almost picture a 4 team trade where the Cubs send Nico to Seattle, Bellinger and 8M to NY, and Wicks and Brett Bateman to Philly. Seattle sends Castillo to CHI and Arroyo to Philly. Yankees send a low level prospect, outside their top 15, to Philly. Philly sends the Cubs Bohm. The money is just about even for the Cubs and it addresses a need for every team involved. Almost makes me wish BTV would let you do a 4 team trade. And a lefty can play 3B and even SS. I've done it. It's not that awkward. The only place they can't play is 2B because they can't turn a 6-4-3.
While the idea of getting Castillo and Bohm sounds great...it will cost the Cubs more than Nico and Belly(and cash). Regarding a lefty fielder playing 3B or SS: sorry my man, it's not happening at the major league level(or minors). The crucial tenths of seconds it would take even the most adept athlete at 3B to shift their feet towards 1B or 2B(for DP) doesn't work. Backhanding everything to their left also limits very important body momentum to make the throw well/hard from 3B to 1B. And as for SS, they absolutely must be right handed as well...playing backhands whole running full speed towards 2B or deep in the hole or a high chopper to 1B is insanity with fast runners in MLB.
@@TheLearningCatalystCoach The Cubs would also be trading the results of the Belli trade and the extra from the Nico trade plus Wicks to Philly. But I wouldn't be opposed to taking Wicks out and trading them Brown. As for the lefties. It's easier for a lefty to throw while moving to their left than it is for a right handed person. The foot work is literally inconsequential as it's just the opposite of what a right handed person has to be taught for back handed plays. What is lacking is coaches who are willing to put in the work to teach kids.
I'm a huge yes on Bauer! He should be a really cheap contract that you could almost set up the contract with a very low base salary that's all about incentives.
I wouldn't give up anybody in the top 10 prospect wise for Luzardo. Too injury prone and he's another lefty starter. Not to mention, he's really only had one good full season in the majors.
Keep Belli if they are truly going for it in '25 otherwise lineup is missing that 2nd bopper like last year. Big no to Bauer, clubhouse headache, rather have Luzardo but dont trade Caissie, need his power bat for this year if Belli goes and following years once Tucker goes. 0% they sign Tucker
Please don't hop on the Bauer train. Guys an unrepentant serial abuser and i don't want to be told that I should be harassing the many accusers instead. Lance's reaction when you brought it up was the right one. Can we just move on from him, he sucks and I'd be so disappointed if he was a cub
Trevor Bauer is one of those guys who drags your team down-he'd be a disaster in the clubhouse and with the media. Not worth whatever he could bring to the mound. He's a major jerk.

Let me know your thoughts on Michael Busch at 3B and/or the package that you would be okay with for Jesus Luzardo
maybe to start the year until Nico
is 100% ready and the rookie covers 2B…
Busch at 3rd is idiotic
Can Nico play 3rd I know his arm strength isn't the best but just a thought
For Luzardo, Wicks/Assad and maybe someone like Canerio or Kilian. Canerio has no options so if they want him then he’s a good throw in
No Busch finally is confident playing first base and doing well and will get better this year. Bellinger needs to get traded, he's over paid and his opt outs every year are ridiculous 😵💫 we have to sit and wait, is he staying is he opting out blah blah blah ??? Be done with him please.
It is reported Owen Caissie is not part of the Luzardo deal.. which is a relief.
Thank goodness.
So who would it be that’s traded Triantos? and then maybe Alcantara sounds like a win win for the cubs being able to keep Cassie I’m high on Triantos tho but you gotta give up something to get something🤷♂️
@@jhazen1125I totally agree…I’m cool with trading Triantos and Alcántara!! I do NOT wanna trade our top 4 prospects before we see them play for us!!
If the Cubs have to eat 10 millions out of Bellingers contract then the return has to be greater than what the Yankees are offering..
All I know is they cannot trade Caissie in a deal for Luzardo. I even cringe at Triantos. I’m just not impressed with a guy that has a 4.29 lifetime ERA and can’t stay healthy. Trade another top 100 guy if you have to, but please, at least make sure it’s an upgrade.
Step back one year. If we traded Morel, Wesneski, and gave up at the time, an unknown draft pick, for one year of a star, everyone would have been ecstatic.
What about trade Bellinger and Mervis to the Yankees to fill their 2 needs and get a fringe prospect back
How about Miles Mastrobuoni and Ed Howard for Jesus Luzardo ?
We would be fleecing ourselves 😂😂
Say pass on Jesus. Don’t need another lefty
OF Depth without Bellinger: PCA, Happ, Seiya, Tucker, Cassie (We don't need Bellinger)
INF Depth: Shaw, Swanson, Nico, Busch, (Gage Workman 3B/2B lefty stick Rule 5 draft), Benjamin Cowles, Luis Vasquez, Matt Mervis, James Triantos

U r right (as a former 1b) at beginning of last yr Busch was not good. By end of the year, his mechanics were much better
Trevor Bauer was cleared of charges. Get him cheap and let him prove himself.
Happ and Swanson are streaky hitters. As I recall last year, the Cubs had trouble scoring runs. I think they should keep Bellinger in the lineup. What if he has a year like he did in 2023 gotta keep him .!

Couldn’t agree with you more on your assessment of trading away Cam.

And a lefty can play 3B and even SS. I've done it. It's not that awkward. The only place they can't play is 2B because they can't turn a 6-4-3.

Why not keep Beli
5% chance for an extension but what do you think about their chance of signing him long-term in free agency?
Why would SOME MLB at least invite him to Spring Training. I would LOVE to see Bauer in a Cubbie uniform.
I wouldn't give up anybody in the top 10 prospect wise for Luzardo. Too injury prone and he's another lefty starter. Not to mention, he's really only had one good full season in the majors.

WWIII could break out also
Trade Bellingees to whomever they need to
luzardo has stuff, but hes inconsistent and oft injured.
Cam Smith is a Prospect who cares
I hope jed is shopping belli to every al east team! Tell the yanks to keep fokin around ;)

Get Roki
Sign Bauer!
I would prefer a trade for Luis Castillo and keeping Cody. I've come around.
Trevor Bauer is one of those guys who drags your team down-he'd be a disaster in the clubhouse and with the media. Not worth whatever he could bring to the mound. He's a major jerk.
Just stop with the Bauer stuff please
Move Busch to 3rd and let Belli play 1st
