True, but, there is a emotional/mental health angle. I try to not over value sports, but, having your team in your city would mean a lot to people.
Call me a homer on the IFAs, especially given the fact the kid is 16 years old but the Cubs have done pretty well in this past with these signings so always nice to read these.
About 17 WAR awfully similar to Adam Dunn minus the walks but probably better defensive value. To make it about even.
I'm all for the DH but I'd disagree on Schwarbs....he has gotten better but he's still slow as hell and first step reaction just isn't great. Doesn't matter though, the front office loves him so he'll probably stay in left. Hopefully the players just approve the plan so there's a season.....MLB has a huge opportunity here which is why I think they will blow it. Manfred is a joke
Sure, but never underestimate the punch ability of AJ’s face. I watched that one live.
Yeah, I think this DH will be great for the Cubs. This will allow them to keep Schwarber in the lineup and give Souza more playing time to see if he can regain any form from when he was a pretty good player/prosepect. Also will give Almora more ABs than I was thinking he would get (I am hopefull and assuming Happ gets the majority of ABs except maybe for a defensive substitution). Although it is entirely possible the Happ/Almora rotation will be based on the opposing pitcher.
