Pour yourself a bourbon and watch Billy Madison. Minimum 230milI think Javy has benefited quite a bit from the fact that pitchers continued to throw him strikes the last couple of seasons despite the mountain of evidence that says he can’t lay off sliders away and fastballs up most of the time. That is one of the 3 biggest contracts of all time. Albies basically outearns his entire contract in the first couple years. In contrast, the cvbs usually win when Javy has a multiple RBI game and conpletws a few no routine double plays. He’s a clutch performer.

That’s why. It just is. We actually agree so I can’t even begin to figure out your motives.Calm down dude, he wasn’t accusing you of copy/pasting anything.

Brewers aren’t really a threat to make a run at 1st place. Then tell me if it was “a copy/paste job.” I never plagiarize. One hashtag too many.This tells me that Bryant is gone…that $300 million offer from last year is not on the table any longer………..and if Baez becomes greedy…..he is also gone……Theo needs answers before the Winter Meetings !The Cubs offered Kris Bryant $300 mill and he turned it down? Javier was named the starting second baseman for the N.L. Try top 3I think we are in the middle of a process where, with the rare exception of an irreplaceable player like Trout, you will see very very few high level players staying with one team through their careers. The best defensive center fielder in baseball and capable of crushing over 50 homers a season before the juiced ball era. You say baez has an MVP caliber bat. In fact I’m a season ticket holder…… you have no statical evidence to show that Baez is better than Bryant where again, I do. So I guess Bridgette Sampras?Yes I was agreeing with you. However, Baez is going to be walking into a fringe market right if he chooses to look test free agency when it’s his time while the Cubs are deciding with either keeping him or Bryant as the guy to build around with Rizzo.Baez can play third base, short stop and second base as if it is nothing! And it’s possible the team will want to avoid taking a deal too deep into Baez’s thirties.

Now if TA has another year like last year and cuts down significantly on the errors, then there can be a conversation.TA is a strong team leader.

I think as he ages and his bat slows down he ll strike out constantly and the power will dry up like Chris Davis. They should’ve traded Schwarber when his value was highest like 3 years ago, never should’ve signed Heyward obviously, never should have traded Torres, Eloy Jimenez or Soler (they would’ve been 10-15 times cheaper & much better than Heyward). But 10/$400m is beyond ridiculous. This at least makes some sense! It’s not like buying out his first 4 years of his free agency is a steal. It’s swing out of your shoes every pitch and hope to make hard contact. Riley is less than a year removed from being a superstar prospect who, while struggling in the second half, has a massively high ceiling and tons of control.Great insight. Cubs would be better of dealing him sliding Báez to third and getting another SS. Javier Baez Makes History With Steal of Home in Game One. His value is higher to the Cubs because he’s a fan favorite. Because he got hurt last year? Why then did you accuse me of plagiarizing without even looking into it? But he sure as hell wasn’t significantly worse, especially considering he was playing hurt a decent portion of 2019. All Cubs fans need to do is look in their own outfield at Jason Heyward to figure that out. All-Star Team and enjoyed a breakout campaign in which he led the National League with 111 RBI and led the team with 40 doubles, nine triples and 34 homers ... Was the first Cub to be the N.L.

Pay Baez what he’s worth (8/$200MM+), and move him to 2nd base to keep him healthy and turning those amazing double plays.best thing to do is trade him while his value is still high.Baez value still up there but not like it was after the 2018 seasonLove Baez, but I think 20 to 25 million AAV would be tops on him, yeah?Cubs getting offers from Kimbrel now…..he has a restricted trade list of teams, but NO TRADE clause………..yes, NO ONE is safe !Why do you think they are getting offers for Kimbrel?top reliever in free agency just signed with the Braves..They will be unhappy with the return for kimbrall. That does not really make any sense?Must I spell it out for you? What scene did it happen in?Striking out 27.8% of the time is way too much. Kind of like the broader unregulated free market economy.Sorry that was an S4 satire. sit back and think about what 400 million dollars is, and how many players have gotten that. It is always about the adjustments so you never knowThey’ve been doing that and he’s not hitting 200. He’s one of the very most instinctive players in MLB and has been since arriving. I’d suggest reading fangraphs for a month and then come back here. She had Báez announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Irmarie Márquez via Twitter on April 11, 2018.Neveau, James. I doubt they will give up another for MadBumMarco Gonzalez or Matthew Boyd would be my top two trade targetsStatistics can’t be the only thing to look at. Baez is a great player, lead by example guy.
