@cmpjr56 1) I'm not sure Rizzo has interest in coming back here to be a bench bat 2) The Cubs need is for a RHH 1B

There's no 1-to-1 pivot because Bregman was by far the best player still available. But a really solid bench bat like Turner or Canha and then trying to add another arm through trade (Cease, Suarez) or FA (Robertson, Turnbull) would make a very good and very deep roster.

@danengel33 Can still hit

@ChiFanJustin He’s 40 and has played fewer than 100 innings combined at 3B the last two seasons. He’s not a 3B anymore.

@Keeegs2 @ChiFanJustin @maxoosta Probably $8M or so

@Keeegs2 @ChiFanJustin @maxoosta It’ll be for much more money than that

@MDJJJS33

@ChiFanJustin Turner isn’t a 3B

Yeah the Cubs were not going there, nor should they have

@ReinoosChris That’s actual payroll. Luxury tax hit is still $13.75M.

@JoshuaHowsam Cronenworth would be tough to move but they can obviously find a taker for Cease and probably for Suarez/Arraez

@Mitchwiers22 @RebelMan32 Okay?

@Mitchwiers22 @RebelMan32 There have been no indications that the Tigers have offered Bregman a long-term deal with a 1-year opt out

@Mitchwiers22 @RebelMan32 There are two main questions with that assumption... 1) Would the Tigers want to give Bregman a 1-year opt out? 2) Does Bregman want to go to the Tigers? I don't think we have a definitive yes on either

@TheBlogfines Like he's out here borderline violating the CBA

@DEvanAltman Yeah my one thing is if they DO trade Nico, just get absolute maximum value even if it’s prospects.
