Chicago Cubs fans - Rebuilding Year 2023

Well, it looks like it might be between David Ross and Joe Espada.

I want Espada but my guess is they will hire Ross and Theo is just trying to milk as much info out of Espada as possible, hence the 2nd interview.

David Ross had his second interview this week. Joe Girardi is pretty much the shoe-in for the Phillies job.

I heard this morning it was Rossy. I think that’s a big mistake. He has zero experience.

 

[Deb & Bill]

It's been announced publicly. It's David Ross.

I have a bad feeling about this. I think this is so Theo can have even more say in the team and Rossy will be a front office puppet. I hope I'm wrong.

I mean Aaron Boone hasn't been awful for the Yankees. This is basically the same hire.

It certainly is inspirational. I hear St. Louis Cardinal fans are totally inspired by this Cubs hire.

Rizzo won his third Gold Glove. And the Cubs picked up his option for next year.

He certainly deserves it.

Kris and Jessica Bryant are having a baby. It's due in April. It's a boy.

I just popped in to report that too. Oh happy day! No more leaving his name off my scorecard and actively booing him when he came up to bat. I hated that he was a Cub. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I heard they might be looking at Marcel Ozuna for the outfield since he is a free agent. Why? Also Keuchel for a starter.

Astros are interested In Contreras. Braves signed Hamels.

Who isn’t interested in Willy? I hope he stays and I’ll miss Hamels .

Schwarber and his long time girlfriend, Paige Hartman, got married on Saturday.

Based on their budget, it looks like the Cubs may pass on Castellanos because their payroll is too high right now.

Cubs are resigning Morrow to a $1M minor league contract. Morrow wants to do it to thank the Cubs for believing in him last year (and the year before) when he didn't do anything. Otherwise, he has nothing.

At least it's a cheap minor league contract. Maybe he'll do better next year. (*fingers crossed*)
