Two opt outs!!!! There are TWO opt outs in the contract!!! This changes everything. The value of the opt outs probably puts the "theoretical" value of the contact well up over $200M.

Promising new prospecting website: http://2080baseball.com/ Run by Joe Hamrahi (former BP president) Scouting staff includes a lot of familiar names: Tucker Blair, Mauricio Rubio, Chris Rodriguez, Jeff Moore, John Arguello, Nick Faleris (others I think). IMO this place SHOULD instantly shoot to the top of all public sector prospecting outlets. There are a lot of smart people involved there.

Jesus Christ. That's not even fair.
-
Of course it's not. Rosenthal wouldn't say "in the offing".
-
Ha, I was just about to say that the only things that make sense would be big trades for legit Aces like Carrasco or Fernandez. I wonder if they would be willing to dangle Schwarber. They could probably get Marcell Ozuna thrown in too, which would be a coup since he might be better than Soler.
-
If they bring in an established SP without moving any, Cahill will probably want to void his contract for misrepresentation, since they told him he would be competing for a spot. Arguably the Cubs have the best pitching staff in baseball already...
-
This is kind of bizarre. They already have a strong top 5 + Warren and Cahill. I suppose they could option Hendricks, but that seems like a waste after his sublime 260 career innings to date. Maybe they include him in any trade.
-
Soler in RF, Heyward in CF. Coghlan will platoon with Soler, replace Schwarber defensively, backup all 3 spots.
-
What do you mean?
-
I'll just assume this is Awards Season related jealous vitriol, since I'm getting so many votes.
-
Normal people? A) do we seem like normal people normal people use and keep up to date with modern acronyms, man. Using and creating three letter acronyms is basically a sport in itself, within the sport of baseball. Also, even if you wrote "three true outcomes" instead of TTO or "times through the order penalty" instead of TTOP, the casuals would still be just as clueless.

I would like to know how you post something factually incorrect and garner four thanks. mods?
-
That's cool. You are objectively wrong though.
-
TTO = three true outcomes get your acronyms straight, brother. It's awards season.
-
Funny, it seems to work for a lot of teams.

close1 klōs/ adjective 1. a short distance away or apart in space or time. im·mi·nent ˈimənənt/Submit adjective 1. about to happen. I guess we can grant Atkins the subtle difference there. Good use of words, Ross Atkins. Good use of words.
-
Yeah he should be able to at least get the O'Day type deal if he repeats. He's been a top ~20 reliever of better over the last 3 years, probably.

Look like we plucked the next Chris Heston from the Giants. Pop the champagne! -

Jungmann should be a cut and Shoemaker could reasonably be cut. He needs to get some power. Severely lacking.
-
Interesting. Is there a recent article on this or something, or are these your own patented thoughts?
-
read the article, lol
-
Makes no sense. Hutch has options so he still has a lot of value even if he's the #6 and in Buffalo at the start. I guess they could trade him for other pitching, in which case it might make sense. Still an awful time to sell.

North WTF is happening in baseball right now? Kimbrel trade is retarded Giles trade is retarded Greinke contract is retarded Jose Fernandez asks are retarded Miller trade was SUPER retarded I've never seen so much stupid in such a flurry
