Heard a rumor a couple weeks ago and it kinda intrigues me. It all just depends on the Stanton situation. I can't imagine the Giants would be willing to deal their #3 starter if Stanton is acquired, as they would clearly be hoping to contend. Or maybe their money situation would be so tight with Stanton that they would be looking to dump Shark's salary to make room. Either way, I could get on board with that acquisition.

pwny Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 I’d assume we’re on the outside looking in, but we’re one of the 7 final teams for Ohtani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as long as he doesn’t choose the Dodgers (or Giants if they also trade for Stanton, which looks likely), he wouldn’t hurt the Cubs if he did indeed go elsewhere. Not getting my hopes up, but man that would be awesome. It’s akin to hitting the $200 million lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears019 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I’m excited be a finalist, but trying not to get too excited. I’m sure Theo and Jed are doing something awesome in their presentation, i just don’t know if we offer what he wants. Regardless id love to see what their presentation to him is. All reports I’ve read said the Cubs one is extremely creative. But I’d expect no less from our management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Didn't see the Chatwood signing coming, but it's not a bad one. All the signs pointed to Cobb, but he must be pricing himself out of the Cubs' plans. Looks like the other rotation spot will be Ohtani (unlikely) or come via trade (likely). Prepare to lose a big leaguer. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazer026 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Really like the Chatwood signing. If he's healthy I think it could be quite the steal, that's a big question though. Wonder if we still try to sign Cobb now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 So with Stanton going to the Yankees, that basically (unless things change) locks Bryce to us as the unquestioned favorite, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. That deal is gonna be huge, but then again so is Harper’s talent. Phillies will have tons of money available, but a bad team. Harper/Bryant/Rizz/Contreras/Meatball Good luck.

Blazer026 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Apparently were still pursing Cobb, and were interested in Colome and Archer. Have no clue how we would be able to land Colome and Archer. Highly doubt that happens. I still would like Cobb though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he requires too much to sign and he’s another SP with a lengthy injury history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
