    We aren’t a serious contender with that outfield.

    I mostly like Dana..at least more than most around here but yeah..can't ever believe a single word that guy says. This tells me the same offer has been on the table and it's all up to Bregman if he wants to take it. I don't think any more negotiations are taking place. Crane is a take it or leave it type of owner.

    You can't put an outfield of McCormick and Meyers out there.

    Gonna be a joke of an offense.

    Really glad they ripped the band-aid off. This team is feeling the effects of losing Cole, Springer, Correa, and possibly Bregman with nothing in return. Might as well get something.

    Not going to do a deep dive on Jacque Jones. I just thought your comment was odd considering that all of the most revered athletes in Chicago history are black. Jordan, Payton, Banks, Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins, Frank Thomas to a lesser degree.

    Is Parades that much slower than Bregs?

    I was thinking Parades over Tuck since Breggy is still up in the air. Regardless we're still losing speed if we lose him too and sign another OF like Santander or Teoscar.

    Chas and Jake at the same time? Ugg. Aww...hell nah! Nah!

    This could be the least productive outfield in baseball history as far as combined offense goes. ;)

    Not a Santander fan. Seems like a sign of desperation to me. Replacing Bregs and Tucker with Parades and Santander isn't good.

    Gotta add another bat Walker would make me happy or trading for Robert.

    Santander would be nice. 44 HRs 102 RBI.

    Walker and Santander would add some thump.
