Chicago Cubs baseball!!!

There'd be 29 teams interested in Bryant.  He's one of the best players in baseball.  His K rate has gone way down.  199 Ks his rookie year, 154 last year and down to 128 this year.  I'm not even a Cubs fan...I love watching this guy play.  He's a guy like Jeter that you never let get away and should be a Cub for life.

Yeah, you don't trade Bryant.  That is insanity.

I don't foresee Rondon in a Cubs uniform next season.

Considering they were barely a .500 team at the break, I was shocked they got as far as they did.
The Cubs were the least talented of the 4 remaining teams and it played out that way.
They need to fill some holes but there is no reason to think they shouldn't make a legit run next year.  In the mean time....go Blackhawks!

I LIke this Cubs fan.....

Rondon, Lackey and Arrietta will all most certainly be gone next season. 

Washington just dumped Dusty, so they've already become tougher next season.

Need some good work from Theo and Jed.

After Rondon gave up the grand slam last night my immediate thought was "Well, it's officially hockey season now."  Let's Go Hawks!

Looks like Arietta shaved his beard.  When you lose you realize the beards just look stupid.

Trade Bryant?? Jeez..

Bryant, Rizz (for now), Contrearas, and Russell are locked in..cant trade these guys. Accepting offers for everyone else.

He does that after every season.

Ah.  He should spare us all from that filthy rat's nest next year.

Nationals have reached out to Dave Martinez for managerial position.

They have already gotten better by getting rid of Dusty. They will be super good next year, then Harper will be a Cub! Muahhahahaha

John Williamson has some impressive stuff down in Single A. I’d like to see him work his way up. Cueto type lefty.

HesCalledDyer

And yes I know Cueto is a righty, but this guy looks like him as a lefty. Has the same deceptive timing moves.

darwinstheory

As long as he's not like 2017 Cueto. 

HesCalledDyer

True dat. From what I’ve seen he looks like 15-16 Cueto. Hope he moves up thru the ranks quickly next season and continues to bring his stuff to each level.
