Under the current CBT threshold, the #Cubs are around $115m under. Kris Bryant $25per Carlos Correa $25per Rodon $23per Schwarber 15per That’s $88m and still leaves room for relief arms.

Hey #Cubs fans. It’s ok to say you love Kris Bryant, loved his contributions, enjoyed watching him - without qualifying it with: 1. But it was the right idea to trade… 2. He couldn’t stay healthy… 3. His production fell off… 4. Anything regarding his contract…

That it's optional for HP umpires to wear protective masks underneath their regular masks is presumably a simple case of oversight. It'd make no sense for players/staffers to adhere closely to safety/health protocol -- but then have HP umps breath freely into catchers, hitters.

The #Cubs have a $207m Luxury Tax no. now. Leaving them $30m to spend to reach the CBT. Early offseason reports said expect the Cubs to go over that number. Bellinger: $28mm AAV (7yrs? 8?) Chapman: $17.5mm AAV (6yrs) Montgomery: $18mm AAV (6yrs) Could they go to $269.5m?

@YourFriendKyle_ Rendón plays a position you need offensive production from and it’s been 3 yrs since we’ve seen that production. Javy you can get by with limited offense as long as he remains a staunch defender. Plus, you get occasional cool points with Baez. So, Baez.
