As soon as I turn to the giants game bryant hits a 2 run hr :francis:
is the reason theo left because he knew they wouldnt drop $$ to keep guys or pay FAs moving forward? I was just thinking about that last week when reading about how they been in negotiations for a few years with Bryant, Rizzo, Javy

what happened to the cubs payroll situation. werent they setup to drop $$ after all the wrigleyville improvements they made?

theo left because he believes 10 years at one job is enough. The cubs offered bryant & Baez extensions( bryant 220-250)they both turned them down. Rizzo turned down his offer this year

the wrigleyville renovations were paid out of pocket by the owner & according to him went 100% over the budget & cost a billion which is why they stopped spending.the cubs were top 5 in payroll for 5 years they just underperformed so they cut back to recoup dough ,the pandemic season with no fans was another excuse to cut back.

now the cubs have like 40 mil on the payroll going into next season, revamped the farm & fans are irate so they’re gonna spend. Nobody gonna watch this aaaa squad get washed on marquee , I think Baez could be back nobody is giving him a crazy contract the cubs can spend 50-70 mil on payroll & still be no where near the cbt & with the cba expiring don’t know what the new cba will have as far as that cbt. Cubs will be back soon

dude gonna finesse the giants out 280-300 mil & will be 30 when the contract starts enjoy :salute:

:yeshrug: they probably will have to overpay but Giants aint paying nobody right now anyway. I think Longoria is literally the only person on the book past 2023 right now. (Crawford after extension) so really he wont be hampering or preventing them from making moves in the future.
