#2 free agent Bellinger - 3 years 26.7 mil AAV (Est. 12 yr. 265 mil)
#10 free agent Imanaga - 4 years @ 53 mil AAV (Est. 5 yr. 85 mil)
Now THAT’S intelligent spending even with Boras involved..
In the immortal words of Toby Keith Jed says “How do you like me now?”

Frustrating as hell to sit through and wait out as a fan.
But borderline fucking genius to get those guys on that type of deal.

I wasn’t against Cody getting paid his worth, it’s just that we have top prospects ready to pop & see if they pan out. |

add Neris too.
I'll admit that I was frustrated as hell. especially after Ricketts said need more revenue. watching other Cubs targets come off the board. all and all Hawkins Hoyer did a good job

I was getting nervous too though. I think the signing of the two lefty bats last week was a more of a chess game move than a we are trying to add depth move , and they made them to to try to show Boras we can go on without him now. But when they happened I thought that every so slightly , but then I feared it really meant they were giving up on a Belly return. I no longer see room for either on the roster. I imagine Bellinger got pissed and just told Boras get be back to the Cubs |
