Oakland is a crime-ridden liberal cesspool. It's dangerous to even be out at night there. But that's what they continue to vote for, so I don't have any sympathy. I don't blame the owner for abandoning it.
He is 100% picking up the option after the season he had. No question ❓ he's not risking that much $$$. That shouldn't stop the Cubs from spending 💰 at all. If it does the Rickets needs to sell. Stop spending so much Cubs funds on politics
Michael Busch has shown that he's an All-Star caliber 1B. Jed needs to make a deal with Seattle for an SP. That's one of maybe 3 teams that Suzuki might waive his NMC to join. 🎶Go Cubs Go 🎶
Cody seems to get injured playing OF. Here's my idea. Play Cody full time at first and play Cassie in right. Trade Nico and Peredas. Then play Matt Shaw and Busch at second and third Just a thought
You guys are funny, one day complaining Cubs not aiming to win, and one day you want give young guys chances! You think the young guys will be better than Cody next year? And if young people struggle like PCA this season, then you will say they did not get big bats to win! Cody is the most close thing you got to superstar level. I am not saying keeping Cody, what I try to say is if you want them develop young guys then if the team is not winning, don’t criticize them. You can’t have all your ways !!
Bottom line is Jed Hoyer built a clunky roster, signed bad contracts and seems lost at the wheel. He’s also done some good to his credit like Imanaga (miracle). We’ll see if he can reel it in this offseason. Cubs are supposedly $900k over the luxury tax this year btw. Doh
Belli 100x better than Dansby Heyward's contract. What a terrible mistake Jed made with Dan. Pray that Jed gets fire now! I rather NOT have Dansby (auto-out at Bat) and eat up his contract. Get rid of Nico the weakling who cannot hit homer consistently. Get rid of Happ too. And yes, get rid of Wisdom who can hit a ball. He hit one homer a year! Keep Suzuki as DH. M. Busch is still a question mark. He hits when no one is at base but make outs when there are runners on bases.
The guy has an OPS of .800 the last 60 games. Maybe you should lay off him a little. He was playing injured most of the year and it affected him. Yeah, it wasn't smart to do that, but I salute his tenacity to tough it out and give the team whatever he had.
He’s going to opt in. He didn’t play as well as he did the previous year. And one thing is for sure with Cody Bellinger you’re guaranteed one to two trips on the injured list each season. I’m sure he knows this as well. That’s why I think he’s going to opt in.
I think he'll opt in for 2025, have a better season, then opt out for 2026. That works for the Cubs because by then, they'll need to let their young players sink or swim with the big league team. Either that, or trade them.
Man you guys are talking out of your asses… you guys were practically begging for Bellinger to come back and now you guys want to get rid of him. Makes no sense..
He's not the problem. Our owners are. He's done a good job of rebuilding the farm system but how can you compete with teams like Philly and LA when they have acquired multiple big money free agents and we haven't acquired a single one?
I said he's done a good job of rebuilding the farm system. As far as his acquisitions go he's handcuffed. No way the Ricketies would have given him the green light on Trea Turner or Ohtani so in turn he has to settle for Dansby Swanson. I get that their contracts are ridiculous but so are the prices at the wrigley concession stands. How is it the Phillies and Dodgers can afford all these players when the Cubs generate far more cash than either of them?
They never should've gotten him. Somebody else could've played 3rd until next year. Now that is another contract Jed is stuck with. He clearly doesn't know what he is doing. Other teams that wants to win made changes like the Tigers.
He'll be back, he's do for a great season. Let's hope he has one in '25. Quit talking about prospects that haven't played an inning in MLB, they're in the minors for a reason. Suzuki is a DH because his defense stinks.
These are the types of excuses I expect to hear from the Cubs. The real question is, does anyone think Jed will handle making any of these moves? Expect more of the same crap next year.
Ha! Soto is a pipe dream just like ohtani was last offseason. Haven't you noticed that the Ricketies are shopping exclusively from the bargain bin these days?
I'd say find a way to move Happ and Parades. I dunno maybe they pulled the plug too soon on Morel. At least it seemed to me he was more passionate about being a Cub. The Happ situation: why the Cubs would give a guy showing a career .248 batting average so much leverage is beyond me! Maybe it's the President of Baseball Operations who needs to go first. 🤔
Have u seen Morel's stats with Tampa? And you wanna get rid of the guy who leads the team in HR's and RBI and will probably win another Gold Glove? Lol
@@thehappyhermit01 Lol, yeah yeah yeah re. Morel I've seen 'em. By the same token; not like Parades is knocking the cover off the ball either. Re. Happ, like I said, Cubs gave him way too much leverage for a guy who epitomizes mediocrity.
@@ChuckDeCarlohis numbers, other than BA are about the best on the team. Better than Bellinger's this year. I think that Bellinger's contract is the bad one
Hate to be the "what if?" guy but what if PCA and Amaya both continue to mature into better players? PCA looks like he could be a true superstar and Amaya took steps this year to be really good. Then your line-up begins to look very good. And Bellinger could be a huge contributor.
Yea the "what if" stuff is why they're going to end the season with about the same record. Hoyer didn't have a back up plan and was banking on guys having the same or better years than last season.
Jed Hoyer has put the team in a corner where there's not much they can do. He built a great farm system and then blocked those guys from progressing with bad contracts for ok players He's stated how he doesn't want to spend the money for a superstar but has still built a team that's over the luxury tax. He needs to go. I have no confidence in his ability
@@joanshortall7333 you are right but I think he would get the most back in trade and we have Owen Cassie to fill his place. I didn’t mean he didn’t do Good so get rid of him just that Belli and Suzuki aren’t as good as trade bait due to contract and Tuchman Just isn’t as good as Happ. We need a catcher and another starter more than we need Happ. But I do like Happ he is an above average outfielder.

I give Mick credit for saying the truth about the city of Oakland. Most of the media will not.

You want to trade away the best hitter on an offensively-challenged team? Um, no. They can sign a free agent starting pitcher.
@@DionysusAlShaha. So you're good keeping things just the way they are and rolling it back again? Welcome to the chat, Jed. GTFO.🤡

Of course he’s lost at the wheel he doesn’t have Theo there to make the big boy decisions.
They took two from the Dodgers, they swept the Orioles. This team is in an enigma.
Bellinger is a nice problem to have.
He's a good player. You can never have too many good players.
Suzuki has been the best hitter on the team.
Have you ever been to Oakland its a garbage dump.

If Belli opts in you probably have to trade Busch for a reliever cause you won’t be able to afford any. I think Hoyer is over his head.
Jed has to go he's a complete detriment to this team
He's not the problem. Our owners are. He's done a good job of rebuilding the farm system but how can you compete with teams like Philly and LA when they have acquired multiple big money free agents and we haven't acquired a single one?
Jed and Ricketts both
@@JackFiore-b4tyou call $233 million and a luxury tax penalty to not make the post season for the 5th straight season a good job???

@@JackFiore-b4t How? With money that is. That is how other big teams do it. With money. If you are going to go big, do not spend small money
Keep Hoerner, move Paredes,
They never should've gotten him. Somebody else could've played 3rd until next year. Now that is another contract Jed is stuck with. He clearly doesn't know what he is doing. Other teams that wants to win made changes like the Tigers.

I am going to be different than everyone Belli will opt out of contract. One of these teams ( Toronto) will offer him 4 years 90-95 million. He gone
Good work boys.. my favorite cubs channel… go cubs!!!! And go IRISH!
These are the types of excuses I expect to hear from the Cubs.
The real question is, does anyone think Jed will handle making any of these moves?
Expect more of the same crap next year.
I went to a game on Oakland a dozen years ago. It was a rundown dump of a stadium back then. There was also no one there.
He isn't worth the trouble!
They are the Cubs with all that money they don't have to worry about anything just win baby
Do the Cubs have even one outfielder "worth" 20 mil? Who?
PCA
Need Alonso, Soto, or Burnes and trade for Mason Miller.
Ha! Soto is a pipe dream just like ohtani was last offseason. Haven't you noticed that the Ricketies are shopping exclusively from the bargain bin these days?
Soto is a Yankee for life.
I'd say find a way to move Happ and Parades. I dunno maybe they pulled the plug too soon on Morel. At least it seemed to me he was more passionate about being a Cub.

@@joanshortall7333 Well, okay. Obviously though, their best is not good enough. Unless people are happy with 80-win seasons.

@@Gnar_DoggEXACTLY
Of course he's going to opt in
Why not Ian Happ?
Jed Hoyer has put the team in a corner where there's not much they can do. He built a great farm system and then blocked those guys from progressing with bad contracts for ok players He's stated how he doesn't want to spend the money for a superstar but has still built a team that's over the luxury tax. He needs to go. I have no confidence in his ability
He’s been needing to go for 2 years now.
@@aronscott9698 I agree. The only success he's had has been from riding Theo Epstien's coattails
Who is a true superstar on the Padres?
Tatis
Belinger, meh. He's Still good but his attitude keeps him from being great. He will opt in. Nobody will pay him a bigger contract.
Marquee, make a Cubs sitcom. I need to bask in the irony of watching you make fun of your own situation. It may even remedy my ailing fandom.
Happ’s no trade is tougher than Bellinger staying.
I respectfully disagree. Happ gets no credit for the job he has done.
@@joanshortall7333 you are right but I think he would get the most back in trade and we have Owen Cassie to fill his place.
