Bellinger has exercised his option to stay with the Cubs.

Cody Bellinger opts in for 2025 season with Cubs

Kind of mixed on Bellinger. I think the dollars could have been used elsewhere, however he does bring a good skill set overall and was a good clubhouse guy. Just likely not a ~30M kind of guy obviously. I am not really sure what the path forward is this offseason. Seems like the roster and farm system is ripe for a big trade or two.

Completely agree

Prayers for Ryno.

F cancer

Amen

If anybody can beat it, he can.

This Tucker trade has me confused on what the Cubs are doing.

It's felt like they're in a rebuilding mode. They've got some young guys but I didn't feel like they were just one big bopper away.

So are they playing to win now and will Tuck be more than a 1 year rental? Or did they go get him specifically so they could maximize trade value coming in at the deadline when they dump him to a contender?

It is a bit confusing to me also. However Jed has one more year on his contract and seems to me he is really trying to push some chips in for 2025.

Lots of rumors connecting the Cubs to Castillo of the Mariners and Luzardo of the Marlins. Looking for that top half of the rotation guy.

Seems like they are definitely open to spending the prospect capital this off-season.

They do seem to be all over the place at the end of the day.

Bellinger to Yankees for basically salary dump

Well, that I guess they won't be dumping Tuck to the Yanks at the deadline

If the Cubs are in that position, they need to burn the whole thing to the ground.

Looks like the Cubs and Sammy are finally moving forward

Good. No need to apologize. He was one of the 90% who were doing it.

I always thought that was what the entire spat was about between the club and him.....they would bring him back into the fold if he apologized
