So, if Belli opts into that last year, Hoerner/Happ/Belli/Suzuki all enter free agency in 2027. there is a good pod possibility that other than maybe Nico we may not need any of them by then. With PCA, Cassie, Canario, Alcantera, and hopefully Davis back in the mix I believe at least a couple outfield spots will be replaced in house. Who knows what could develop for the infield by then. I know it’s putting a lot of hope in prospect development but I’ve been the eternal optimist since 1950’s so I ain’t changing now Hopefully Shaw fits in, in the infield for Nico. Maybe Vazquez too.

Hoyer continues to ace the offseason. Re-sign Hoyer now Ricketts, and Aces get 7.

This is a really really good deal for the Cubs You got that right. I’m a bit amazed that it’s only 3 years even with the opt outs but it’s also a type of deal where the Cubs could offer an extension if they like what they see & Cody could end up with what he wanted all along. Outstanding! Now let’s take the division.. Go Cubs!!

Maybe Vazquez too. that’s kind of what I was thinking, if Morel clicks at third or Vazquez and Shaw turns out to be what we think he will we could have a team loaded with homegrown talent. Of course that’s an optimistic outlook assuming a lot of success for as yet unproven prospects, but one can hope

It's easier to assume success with high draft picks, top prospects. I hope

Jed is a genius . Good deal for Bellinger but this is a great deal for the Cubs. If Busch, PCA and or Caissie prove to be the real deal then if Bellinger opts out its not a big deal.

I'm almost speechless. So happy and in one move this turned into an excellent off season. I thought for sure when they signed the two lefty bats last week it meant they had given up on Bellinger. This also takes a lot of pressure off Busch which I like. Wow . Just holyfuckinshit Wow. Getting Bellinger on essentially another 1 year deal, dream come true. And worst case if he doesn't live up to what they expect he's only here for 3 . Bellinger did well but sorry Boras Jed wins the Boras is Jed battle.

No way he gets anything close to that now.

It probably took Bellinger watching the first two games and probably telling Boras just get something done to get me back there.
