yeah, it would be a team changing move so of course it’s not going to happen. They need to offer $25-$50 million more than any other team. Make him say it’s you not the money. [Reply]

Just sign Donaldson without giving up prospects if your going the overpay for an aging player route.
Are you still holding the opinion that this front office is good? If so, stop. [Reply]
This may be a critical offseason for the Cards. No playoffs the last few years and the fanbase is getting restless and craves a superstar. The team has the money and the need. If Mo does his usual airball instead of a slam dunk, it may start getting interesting in the next year or two. [Reply]

If it's taken up until this offseason for you to get on that bandwagon I guess, ride it out. [Reply]

Maybe spend more time watching breaking balls in the dirt from righties.
Strength isn't his issue and it reminds me of what grichuk used to do and/or that year Winning was going to be a HR hitter. Work smarter, not harder. I just don't see how that kind of exercise can benefit him.
Besides, isn't that just a reality inefficient hang clean? [Reply]

It's a winnable division if you do it right, and the Cubs just announced today they're putting Kris Bryant on the market. [Reply]

doesnt he have 3 years left before FA? Why trade him now? I know it was a down year for him but if his shoulder is permantly damaged, what can you get for him? Seems like a case of the player being more valuable to you than other teams. [Reply]

Buster Olney takes a general statement from Theo saying that they will listen to all trade offers and turns it into the Cubs are shopping Bryant and idiots take it to the bank. [Reply]
