I thought Paredes + Cam was already more than enough … really needed to throw in Wesneski too?

graemephillips.bsky.social•83 days ago

Tucker is a top ten bat. This is a steal

pinkston.bsky.social•82 days ago

Wesneski is a throw-in

nico-02.bsky.social•82 days ago

I’m fine with this - and you should be too. Remembering wesneski coming in late in the season & everybody screaming at him 🤣

Belli will be next. Will Hoerner and Suzuki get dealt?
Let's get another bat while we're at it....

thekbexperience.bsky.social•83 days ago

Traffic jam in the OF now with Bellinger, Happ, Suzuki, and PCA in the mix.

fucktrump4ever.bsky.social•82 days ago

I think Bellie will split time at first and PCA will be the main center fielder. Perhaps Suzuki can DH and Bellie can shore up right field.

thekbexperience.bsky.social•82 days ago

Bellie-Busch split at 1B? It's possible.

paysonaztim.bsky.social•82 days ago

Belli is almost certainly getting dealt

thekbexperience.bsky.social•82 days ago

Sure seems like it. Hope we get a decent return.

aztecdeathwhistl3.bsky.social•82 days ago

Depends on how much money the Cubs are willing to eat. Less money = lesser prospect.

thekbexperience.bsky.social•83 days ago

So now our starting third baseman today is... Miles Mastrobuoni? Great. 🙄

nico-02.bsky.social•82 days ago

No, it’s obviously Shaw.

thekbexperience.bsky.social•82 days ago

Maybe, I'm not sure he's ready for MLB pitching yet. But he will be under a microscope this spring for sure. Prove it time.

nico-02.bsky.social•82 days ago

So true.

metschief.bsky.social•82 days ago

So obviously

matgermain.bsky.social•83 days ago

Note: Wesneski is from Houston, so a homecoming for him.

mikoxford.bsky.social•82 days ago

and…

Third base???

I’ll need to look at Tucker’s numbers, but this doesn’t feel strategic. Maybe this is one of those salary management deals?

Oh, well. It’s only the Cubs.

imaqui.bsky.social•83 days ago

That poor guy.

ccwolf101.bsky.social•82 days ago

Cam Smith, I predict will be a great player in the near future

edgerkem.bsky.social•82 days ago

Love it👏

4seasonstl.bsky.social•83 days ago

Are the Cubs actually going to try to win again?
