Team friendly deal or let him walk imoWhat's the deal-e-oh with Arrieta now?
Offseason is here Cubs fans. Keys for the Cubs, 2 Starting Pitchers, Bullpen helps, a full time Leadoff hitter (Maybe Almora can turn into that), and in my mind, a new pitching coach.

Im fine with Bosio staying, but Lester Strode needs to go. The Bullpen actually did pretty good this season, but their confidence has gone down fast in both the last two postseasons, and that on the bullpen coach, IMO. I'd actually be ok keeping our current Bullpen, with a new coach. I'd also be good with John Mallee going to.Offseason is here Cubs fans.

I just hope he doesn't go to the Brewers or Cardinals.Arrieta is gone. No major analysts think he'll be back from what I've seen, which is fine. He's still great but has slowly been declining and will demand money for 2015 Arrieta. That being said, he deserves to get paid I just don't think it'll be by the Cubs
They just can't (shouldn't) pay him what he will be asking for. That money can be better spent elsewhere.What's the deal-e-oh with Arrieta now?
He'll be on the team that just beat us last night.I just hope he doesn't go to the Brewers or Cardinals.
I wondered that too as I was typing that out. Do they have a bunch of money coming off the books? Eithier was being paid big money this year.He'll be on the team that just beat us last night.
I'm not sure what the they have coming off, but they've shown for years they will take on multiple big contracts and not blink. It will be between Jake and Darvish for the Dodgers, and I think they will want Jake and give him exactly what he asks for.I wondered that too as I was typing that out.

Would like to see Almora become an everyday guy and be the leadoff. Jay was fine this year but was not as good when he was consistently starting. He is better as a spot start or a bench guy. I'd like to bring back Davis and find a couple other solid relievers. Uehara was not the answer so go and try to find a different setup man. Also, they could take it light this year in spending in hopes of going after Harper next year.
