2024 Cubs

[Butcher]

Thanks fellas!

LOL! I wish I could get Jed’s attention. He is much too busy doing ? …something? -not sure what important sports bosses do besides not listening to the fans.

I have a feeling that we will see some sort of action soon. I don’t think they can do nothing, but who knows?

I occasionally think back to the trade deadline 2017. Verlander only required money! Local media rumor was that he was waiting for the Cubs to swoop him, and the ‘stros grabbed him last minute. That particular inaction would have ripple effects for years. Instead Cubs traded Eloy (who thankfully by chance is made of glass) for Quintana. Verlander would be the Astros ace leading them to a trashcan WS win.

Yeah I try not to think about the missed opportunity of Verlander all that much. At that time getting cost-controlled starting pitching was the Next Big Thing and Quintana seemed to fit that bill nicely. Also, don't forget that Cease was part of that trade, as well. Bummer.
