It’s honestly baffling that they thought the difference between Hamilton and Monasterio was Seigler and the 67th pick (and bonus pool money.). Even in you think Monasterio and Hamilton are about even you tell the Red Sox to piss off if they want that pick.
Cubs offense has like 8 players with an OPs at .740 and above and one starter with an OPS under .700. On any random day we have no less than 3 players with an OPS under .700 and usually 4. What the hell are you even talking about?
The Cubs offense is good because they hit for power and get on base. Not just because they’ve been good in August. It’s like you’re willfully ignoring things right in front of you to piss people off
Imagine spending this much time defending the offense only for them to average 3.3 runs the next 12 games. Sort of poetic in a Lord Byron/Charles Bukowski kind of way.
Said it when it happened, said it before the trade deadline and will continue to say it. Once the Dodgers got Skubal you stand pat or you put out offers to controllable bats and see if a team bites.
So dumb. How do they not do Gary the Grouch or Grover Sanchez? I never even watched Sesame Street because Guy Smiley terrified me but I spent two seconds on this and came up with two better names than what they gave him.
