Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[Slaky]

Sounds like we will not be getting futureboners over Tanaka.

The Cubs plan to be in the Tanaka sweepstakes, according to sources familiar with the situation, but that pursuit has been framed as a "long shot," given the new mid-market reality at Clark and Addison.

Two industry sources with knowledge of the team's financial picture said there's no chance, predicting the Cubs will be out of the running.

Even if they could afford him why would he choose to play here?

It wouldn't make any damn sense.

For the money, for the fun and for the glory. Mostly for the money.

I can already hear the interpreter saying "I wanted to be a part of bringing the World Series championship to Chicago after 106 years"

On the positive side, they look like they may have a decent bullpen this year.

I noticed the distinct lack of Vizcaino in most projections. I realize he's not all the way back yet but he's by far the most interesting arm that has a shot at making the roster out of camp.

I think everyone has dialed back the enthusiasm until he steps onto the mound to face an actual hitter.

Last I read (albeit from a Jepstink presser) is he was throwing seeds in Arizona.

And from that link, the Cubs have signed Angel Guzman as a minor league pitching coach. Prepare the champagne for 2019.
