Otani please.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Whatever makes Heyward an 18M/yr 4th outfielder. For the Cubs or someone else.

Re-sign Wade Davis. He's the best available option for closer.

In 2019, his contract goes from $28mm to $20mm.

Why are we bothering with this? The Cubs window has closed, Viva El Birdos and the Ringer said so. Shut it down, boys.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

I'd love for him to put up a 130 OPS+ next season and opt out.

And, as long as I'm asking, I'd also like the upcoming Powerball winning numbers.

It's true. The Cubs' failure to hit in five games is permanent. Kris Bryant will never be as good as Stephen Pisscotty and should retire immediately.

Sounds like Jim Hickey's hiring gets announced today or tomorrow.

He gets a pitching staff that needs to replace 40% of the rotation, and about half the bullpen.

Godspeed.

I'm hopeful that the Marlins do something dumb and it nets us Christian Yelich.

several people have suggested the Cubs might be able to trade Happ for Yelich if they also ate Wei-Yin Chen's contract. I'd probably be down with that.

I'd do that in a heartbeat. Then the Cubs can start shopping Almora in whatever bundle they are dangling to get a starting pitcher.

Butterfield should wear #56
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
