Taillon, Neris, Smyly, and Hendricks represent 51.5M in payroll. Brown (IL-necks are tricky), Wesneski (just hit IL), Kilian (rehab starts), and up-and-comers like Noland and Birdsell can fill up the rotation for the rest of the year. Hodge and Bigge have starter experience, so they could even piggyback. Neris, Smyly and Hendricks , Tauchman , Wisdon should all be moved , not going to get a whole lot back though other than salary relief but that's ok. Taillon should only be moved if he brings a players that's going to be part of the near future. I'm not against trading him , like others have mentioned he might be at a high sell point , but I don't want it to be to just save money and I don't want it to be for A ball prospects. It should be for somebody who can help no later than 2025 or else just keep him , you have a better chance of winning with him in the middle of your rotation the next two seasons with the way these guys get injured you don't want it to get to the point you need to rely on the younger arms.

There you have it… Jed said Cubs are sellers.. “barring a big win streak over the next week, anything the team does at the trade deadline will help the team in future years”.
Middle market president

Middle market president We will see who gets moved. I'm not sure anybody (maybe you ?) wanted them to be buyers to help in 2024? So making moves to help future years , I'm fine with that , if those future years are geared more towards 2025-26 than 2028------. Thats what I wanted them to do , sell off the spare parts that are not part of the future here and try to get some that are , but I'm not wanting A ball players , so if he goes that route , then I will revert back to being disgruntled.

I wanted them to be more aggressive in the offseason. They did nothing to improve on 2023.

Middle market president He said for future years 2025 and beyond and not going to make moves JUST to help in 2024 .......you can twist that if you want , but I think it means what most of us actually wanted now , no moves for rentals .

Too much time spent wasted on Ohtani when they had no chance , he was never leaving So Cal. They really didn't really need to make a lot more moves than they did , if guys were having even half way decent seasons they'd be right in the mix.

Excuses starting already… 2025, 2026, 2027. This fucking team won’t be good in 2025. It’s the same team lol
Juan Soto wouldn’t even pick this team if they offered the most money.

Yup, I settled on 85 after they brought back belly. Had them at 77. Looks like 77 with Belly was right. Should have stayed at 77

Stop with the excuses already. This franchise is just like Jerry’s Bulls. The owner got his ship(s). He’s done.

I literally copied and pasted what Jesse Rogers posted Then you need to stop listening to Jesse Rogers. Watch Hoyers video, he literally says exactly what I posted. Unless i watched an AI Hoyer , I'd take what I see coming out of his mouth on video over what Jesse posts, but hey I'm funny that way.
