That’s Boras’s MO all the time and it works out for him and his clients more often than it doesn’t. I tend to agree with Boog. I think the Cubs will get a deal done, but not until they wait out the market as long as Cody is comfortable.Not that he's an insider to Jed's thinking, but Boog was on the Score this afternoon, and he thinks Bellinger winds up taking a deal with player opt outs from the Cubs. I don't like Dan Bernstine very much, but the discussed "soft collusion", in baseball these days, and how the rise of all the analytics driven GMs are keeping the Boras clients on the shelf for now. The contracts he is demanding do not fit their profile for roster construction.
Boras is counting on that one desperate GM, or stupid owner to outbid themself.
I'm fine with the Cubs saying "**** you" to Boros and his clients, he can piss up a rope for all I care. At this point I am of the "it is what it is come hell or high water" type roster. Nothing splashy, probably can make the playoffs, maybe do some adds at the trade deadline.Not that he's an insider to Jed's thinking, but Boog was on the Score this afternoon, and he thinks Bellinger winds up taking a deal with player opt outs from the Cubs.

You should post that in the dynamic, long running Pirates thread.The Pirates signed Keller today to a 5 yr 77 M contract.
Saw a tweet this morning in response to the Keller deal - “Jed couldn’t have offered this??” Um, no, he couldn’t.You should post that in the dynamic, long running Pirates thread.![]()
They probably realized it’s see-through.Side note, WTF hasn't my new official licensed Cubs jacket arrived? I ordered it over the weekend, it was processed in some s***hole town called Frazeysburg, OH, (CSB, I have a buddy from there and he says it's a s***hole), It shipped from Grove City, OH, to Toledo, and is now on it's way to Kansas City. I am not some trucking genius, but why not stop along the way and pitch it out the window in Davenport at their giant hub? There wasn't an expedited option, and it might not get here before we go to Arizona. I really wanted to sport that new Cubbie blue jacket at Sloan Park next week.
I’ve seen a stupid amount of people freaking out about “bust” if PCA is comped to Kevin Kiermaier, who is a 10+ year MLB player who has never had less than 1.1 fWAR. It’s really, really hard to be a good MLB player for any length of time.JD asked Carter Hawkins during the game if Lenny Dykstra was a fair comp for PCA.
“Hopefully on the field only”, was Carter’s response.![]()
Sox 0
Cubs 6
Bottom 1st
should I order my world series ticket now?
Brennan Davis looked good today. How much of a bonus would it be if a guy who lost 2 seasons to injury and got leapfrogged by multiple players became a useful piece/trading chip?
He’s already better than Happ and Suzuki.Brennan Davis looked good today. How much of a bonus would it be if a guy who lost 2 seasons to injury and got leapfrogged by multiple players became a useful piece/trading chip?
Carlos Correa contract.So, not the 8 years and $200 million Boras was demanding?
