If it was the Cardinals yes but they are a young team too. I thought the same thing over the past week on some of the celebrations against us but it didn’t happen

PCA may have more value to this team long term than Tucker. I know they have him under control for awhile but why not offer him a 10 year deal now that will not only give him some financial security but also save the Cubs some money in the long run.
If he keeps it up he will get one of the largest contracts of all time no doubt
Not so sure. If all goes well my best guess he makes 1 2 5 10 20 over the next five years. I never saw how many years the previous offer was but it wouldn’t be a bad move to build a little security in just in case the unthinkable happens. Something like adding 100 mil and 2 years onto his best case scenario through arbitration still puts him in his prime next contract but gives the Cub a guaranteed seven years
PCA will need to stand the test of time (or even a full season), but Ken Griffey Jr. would be my comp. Speed, fielding, hits for power, hits for average.
I was wondering how long Cubs would give Merryweather after yesterday's outing. Feel like Cubs gave him a long leash because they were hoping he could regain his 2023 form.
Just couldn't get the big hit today.....still had a great time at The Great American Ballpark. Win the series tomorrow.
