One Cub fan you know guaranteed that we will love him. 😄 1 Quote

They have already announced Matt Boyd to be non-tendered so will they sign the rest or will there be more surprises? they could non-tender Reyes. And I'd be OK with that. There are five guys ahead of him going into next season, though he would be a nice safety net at Toledo. Quote

He just has to avoid his Rayburnitis of hitting like crap early and hitting like an all-star when the team's already out of the playoff picture. Quote

1984Echoes Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 I want McHugh. He can start or relieve, and we can probably get him for 2 years or less. Chas mentioned him above. Keeps runners off the bases... 1 Quote

If anyone is treading thin ice I think it's Short, who can be easily replaced by another no-bat, good glove SS that we can pick up off the scrap heap in ST. Maybe even get Short back in camp if he hasn't caught on anywhere... on a minor league deal.... Quote

My son lived in the Dallas area for a while. I remember the previous one. I believe at least one of the then CBS radio stations had studios and offices in the complex. Of course that was nearly 20 years ago. Still seems new compared to Comerica, and places like Milwaukee and Pittsburgh. Not to mention "New Comiskey" which I watched being built during our early days in Chicago Quote

You didn't know how hot it gets in Texas when you built it? Quote

Because it was too hot? You didn't know how hot it gets in Texas when you built it? The Palace is a different situation. That made a lot of sense. LCA was getting built no matter what. They didn't build LCA to replace The Palace. The Pistons had the opportunity to move into a brand new building and Oakland County can make better use of that land. It was a win-win. This stadium in Texas is fixing what should have been done 25 years ago. Quote
