Any thoughts on the Cubs signing Jorge Lopez?

Tbh I’d love Matt Mervis to go on and just mash. All the way to the All Star Game and then some. Because I feel they fucked that kid up. Sorry. Signing Hosmer/Mancini was just flat out stupid.

The Cubs are the guy who asks to eat a hamburger on Popeye and asks to pay next Tuesday. SMH

The Cubs needed another outfielder who can play multiple outfield spots besides Canario. With Tauchman now gone, someone else had to acquired.

Quentin Berry wasn’t a great or ever an average hitter, but when he was on base, he was one of the most dangerous base runners in MLB. The Cubs got another speedster in Brujan. Someone who can help, without needing a bat in his hands.

Looking at that roster chart, I got a little sick to my stomach. With the exception of Tucker, I'm not sure if any of the other teams are going to fear going up against the Cubs. At this point, it looks like Jed is counting on average players stepping up to be great. Certainly not a given that the Cubs will even make the playoffs let alone contend for a league title. Let's hope that the starting pitching stays healthy and is lights-out.

Another Jed moronic move. We go from virtually no one to play third to five or six guys vying for the job. Give it to Shaw and forget it. Does Jed know who he has on his roster? I think Ryan Poles and Jed have a lot in common, mind boggling moves.

Couple of weeks to see if Cubs are in the Roki sweepstake...we would not need another starter.

Cubs just can't not Development own the players

Jed sucks

Stop sweating starting pitching. Cubs won't sign anyone until Sasaki makes his choice. I like Killian as a reliever. He can hit 100 and only worry about 1 inning. Horton may be a reliever for the Cubs this year and also Brown. Those are some live arms.

If Triantos is in that IF, how much better are we?

5:34 😂😂😂 "Then they signed Eric Hosmer right?" 😂🤣🤣😭 That broke me right there.

Switch hitter coming in. Good player to have next to Shaw. Show him a top prospect doesn't always hit you gotta fight for it.

I been on Twitter 😂 pushing Matt Mervis 😅💯 You need a 1B, Why TF Not? Guy is gonna have a tough rookie year, grind through it, and then become good. We wouldn't play him. 🤷

Sam is once again, stoned to the bone. Grow up dude.

Wish Matt M. good luck, wish it could have worked out.

best episode ever and way to keep it together Matt! Sam hit the bong too much prior to starting… 😜🌿

Let's home Sam behaves himself at Cubs Con! :)

All of these prospects are/were blocked by players making $20 million dollars who are no better than they are.

Go lock on Cubs! In my opinion if Shaw has to play second then they need to acquire a quality 3rd baseman. If the Cubs don't do that,then they aren't serious about winning in 2025. Even with the signing of Kyle Tucker. Take care, Happy New Year!

I wish the best for Mervis, for the rest of his career, in every game that he plays that isn't' against the Cubs.

Sam is all of us looking at that roster chart.

This is a nothing burger trading one under performer for another. Another example of Hoyer not knowing what he is doing. Just another mediocre team trying to compete with other teams who are actually trying to compete

Is this guy supposed to be a mastro upgrade / backup 1b and backup 3b? This is like the recent Thaius (sp) trade--just in case other arrangements fall through. Didn't know he didn't have minor league options that's awkward

Way to save your job Jed

It's a good move. Mervis was not doing anything for the Cubs and maybe he can help in FL. At least the new dude has the ability to play other positions and has more skills than Mervis, whose only skill was swing hard and sometimes connect for a dinger. He was not a gold glover and not a speed demon and good luck in FL I say. He had no path even with Busch getting hurt.

I agree, Sam, the Mervin deal is not interesting. I was disappointed we didn’t make a play for Burnes. We play the Dodgers 7 times in March/April-that’s exciting.

Paul Dejong on the bench sounds so good

Cubs are praying Busch doesn’t regress. Hundreds of guys best season were their first.

Cubs are only trying to win the division, not the World Series. They are the biggest joke in the division. The other teams in the division have serious payroll constraints and the Cubs still can’t win the division.

Sam looks blitzed, nice

Cubs 0-9 in first 9 please Matt 5-4

I agree about the infield group. The Cubs need a utility infielder who can be solid enough that he isn't an embarrassment when he steps on the field. Get that and at least one more bullpen arm and I would be okay with where this team is. Other than if Suzuki throws a fit about being a DH and demands a trade. Because then we need a DH. I think the outfield might be set well. The starting infield, if Shaw is as legit as we believe he can be, should be really good. What worries me is having that utility guy for the infield and bullpen pitching. If they can add something significant to each place, even if they don't land Sasaki, I think they at least on paper, should be the best team in the division. If we don't address those needs, I can see another 83-79 season.

All I got to say is this is the most dumbest organization run by a bunch of morons pitiful .They never gave Mervos much of a chance ,like all of these rookies we have ,we needed a back up first baseball so disqusted with this organization.

We traded future dfa matt mervis for future dfa.....what ever his name is

Arizona's lux tax payroll is 217mil now even w Jordan Montgomery's 22mil

Go cubbies

Mervis, did not have enough playing time. He was blocked by Mancini & Hosmer. Thankful for Buschhhhhh🍺

back to the bottom of the standings in 2025

I wish Mervis well and hope he finds success elsewhere. Obviously wasn’t happening here, so they basically did him a solid and took back what they could get. We definitely need a couple more dudes at least to be a serious contender next year. Hope that is the plan and that it gets done.

This “he’s played 7 different positions” argument is hilarious. Doesn’t mean anything if he’s a negative WAR player. Any of us could accumulate negative WAR. But Cubs had to move Mervis before they kept trying to make it work

They wasn't in on Burnes yet because it would've cost them two drafts plus a million dollars in international pool money. Jed isn't touching that international pool money because he's hoping to get Sasaki. He wants to offer Sasaki all of the international pool money he can. I'm really hoping this is the last off-season of dealing with Jed Hoyer. The other big market teams are signing generational talents and Jed is signing backup catchers and utility players.

Traded for a switch hitting Miles Mastrobuoni with no minor league options. He will be DFA'd before the season even starts.

That opening day roster is meh. ST should be a comp. Cream rises guys that have no options is just that. It gives them no edge it just means that the Cubs have to DFA and Jed has done that in the past. You can cut the bottom half of the pen at this point. Thompson has been given more opportunities than he deserves. Steele took the step with it. Thompson is just another arm. I would take the pen as Hodge and insert name after at this point.

Literally a tanner scott and a kyle gibson away from 90 wins

Why not keep Mastro for utility He made some unbeilvable plays at 3rd

You guys crack me up

Oh another shit player for shit player trade.
