Of the $5 million the Cubs are sending to the Yankees in the Cody Bellinger trade, $2.5 million will cover his 2025 salary, per source. The remaining $2.5 million will either cover the buyout if he doesn't exercise his player option for 2026 or Bellinger's 2026 salary if he does. - ThreadSky

Is it possible to arrest the 4 owners of Chicago’s major franchises for gross malpractice

spideymac.bsky.social•75 days ago

As a lifelong and TrueBlue Dodger, I'll always wish Cody the best.

Never figured this would happen…a clean cut Belli again

So can anyone tell me why the cubs traded for tucker but then turned around and traded bellinger? What's the play here?

michaeljordan99.bsky.social•74 days ago

As a Cubs fan, what do I have here?

Another $22M under the tax to spend

$22M back in the Rickett’s pockets.

Understand your skepticism but they wouldn’t get Tuck for a year and not load up around him. There’s another deal or two coming.

michaeljordan99.bsky.social•74 days ago

This yearly rental strategy is not a formula for success. The Cubs need to commit to long term core pieces and spend money. Look at the Dodgers’s run over the last 10 years.

magmystour.bsky.social•74 days ago

Agreed, but they ain’t the Dodgers and Tuck said he is testing FA. But spending to build around him with a solid group of prospects coming up could make it a great place to play for anyone. They didn’t give up too much ultimately so it won’t sting so much if he leaves.

Every dollar counts here. Good move.

Jeff, just read your article on pitching injuries. Here's a suggestion:

Starting next year in the minor league, lineup cards will be submitted to the umpires before a game with a list of FOUR pitchers who can be used during that game.

In 2027, bring it to the MLB.

Wonderful patience shown by Cashman who was holding all the leverage.

Now go get Walker, Bregman and #28

They wanted $10 and only got $5

geeel91.bsky.social•75 days ago

So are the Cubs excited to call up someone to replace him?
PCA, Suzuki, and another young outfielder. . . . . .okay. . . . .

Jeff what the hell is a Cody Poteet

buccstone.bsky.social•74 days ago

Bellinger to his dad's old team? Wow!!

cascadiacoug.bsky.social•75 days ago

Jeff are the Mariners gonna do anything, or are they just revamping their garlic fries recipe?

deeceebee72.bsky.social•75 days ago

genuine question Jeff. as a fan overseas (where we don't get much coverage of the sport) - is this just another attempt at tanking by the Cubs as well as making the yankees even more unlikeable?

bubblerman.bsky.social•75 days ago

How does this affect Seth Smith’s legacy?
