2015 Cubs Offseason: Building a Winner Around David Ross

[Canadouche]

Zobrist a Cub?

$14 million per for four years is much more palatable than what was being reported. Not crazy about the fourth year, though. And if this takes them out of the running for Heyward, I'll be reaching for the keys to the firebarn.

If they trade Castro to the Yankees, as rumored, I'd hope that this wouldn't have an impact on a Heyward signing.

Zobrist a Cub?

And Starlin a Yankee...Pending a physical.

I can't believe what the Braves just got for Shelby fucking Miller.  Talk about trade rape...

So according to the dudes on MLB Network, signing Zobrist comes with the added bonus of fucking the Mets.

This is your first cogent post.

Adam Warren looks pretty freaking solid.  Here's a really good 2015 highlight package/breakdown.  They can definitely use a guy like this.  And I'm pretty sure I'd already rather see him start Game 3 than Jason Hammel.

40 man is full.

So if the Cubs go all-in on Heyward, the Cogswood combo will still get launched.

Unless they DFA Andury Acevedo, Dallas Beeler, Eric Jokisch, Yoervis Medina, or Edward James Olmos, aka guys with no actual major league value, unlike Wood or Coghlan.

Interesting, since Theo doesn't usually say things just to say them:

Theo on syncing up another trade and FA: "There is still the potential for that again." Internet go nuts in 3-2-1.

Trade Hammel to clear salary, sign Heyward. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I think they really, really want Heyward. That doesn't mean it'll work out, but Theo is clearly swinging for the fences.

I'm just hoping if they swing and miss there that they end up with Fowler. I'm hoping the "Cubs in on Gerardo Parra" rumor is their fallback if the fallback fails.

Imagine this lineup opening day next year:

Zobrist 2B
Heyward or Fowler CF
Rizzo 1B
Bryant 3B
Schwarber LF
Soler RF
Russell SS
Arrieta P
Montero C
