As a Cubs fan, I’m pretty disappointed. Somehow they only managed to add 3 average (at best) bullpen arms and a utility infielder. Meanwhile, other teams went out and made some real upgrades.

Well maybe they want to save some $$ to try to resign Kyle Tucker which it seems they might not be able to do.
The teams that really went all in were the Mets & Phillies ...so yeah, any team compared to their haul seems weak

@SlapHappy I have a sneaking suspicion that they’re going to let Tucker walk. They know they’re going to have to pay PCA in a couple of years and may not have the appetite to pay Tucker $500M a year before a likely lockout that could end with a salary cap. If that’s their logic, I can see not wanting a $500M contract as an immovable object if MLB does indeed adopt a cap.

@SlapHappy Plus the Astros, Padres, Rangers, Mariners, and Yankees. Maybe you just didn’t notice.

Naw. Braves had a few pieces to move but couldn’t.

@JustEd I found it interesting that they picked up Carrasco. I’m assuming they just want him to eat innings.

JustEd · 41-45, M

@BamPow yeah. Everyone’s hurt. Great rotation on the il so just need arms at this point.

RedBaron · M

The Mets did plenty, especially in the bullpen.

BamPow · 51-55, M

@RedBaron Yeah. Your team did pretty well.

As usual the Pirates were sellers. If only Nutting would sell the team.

@SageWanderer I’m not a Pirates fan, but I absolutely hate what’s happened to that team. They play in a beautiful ballpark and have a great legacy. You fans definitely deserve better than what you’re getting from that owner.

Cubs did more than most teams unless you think they should just try & buy a championship like the Dodgers.

BamPow · 51-55, M

@SlapHappy I really wanted to see them snare one of the top end starters that were being floated.

RedBaron · M

@SlapHappy Not more than the Padres, Phillies, Mets, Yankees, Rangers, Mariners, Astros, and Tigers.

That’s only eight teams. 🤣
