***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

Sorry, but this is an extremely errant statement. We aren't talking about being the "best team", rather being a team GOOD ENOUGH to win. EVERY World Series winner, as well as opponent, has been 14 games or more above .500 for nearly 2 decades. The last team that wasn't? You guessed it, the luckiest team in baseball history, the 2006 StL Cardinals. But even that team had something going for it this team doesn't; a team that had been very good/successful for the previous 6 or so seasons, and a generational talent in Pujols. Lucky for them they were in the worst division in baseball and in the lesser of the two leagues.

This team might not be good enough to make the playoffs, let alone win it. While you're right, anyone can 'win it' if they're in it's highly unlikely that a team of this caliber actually does.

If the Cubs make the playoffs would you bet 1000 on them winning the Series? Didn't think so.

NL participant in the World Series has won less then 95 games ever since 2017 when the Dodgers surpassed 100. If you get in you have a chance.

One of the nice things about Candy is he may solve our 3B issue for cheap(er) next year if he and our system work well together. I’ll work on his analytics when I get home tonight for his career

Hopefully Nellie gets a shot in KC

This photo is the first thing I know about Cuas, but adding to the bullpen for a guy that's holding PCAs spot on the 40 isn't a bad thing. Tauchman is going to hold that last OF spot so you might as well deal Velasquez.

Nico with a double, great start.

Wisdom likely next???

Can only hope. He's the odd man out now and likely headed to Iowa to make room for Candelario. Gotta make another roster move for this reliever too, guessing it's Kay. Getting a lefty reliever would be nice but probably not gonna happen

I could see it but wouldn’t like it. Don’t we have control for awhile and he’s cheap cheap?

He's a non-tender candidate at end of the season IMO. Does he really have a future here at this point? He has some hot streaks once in awhile but otherwise is a strikeout machine when he's cold.

I like him as a lefty platoon at 1B/3B personally, but I’m in zero way attached to the guy and would live if he left
