So is cueto wanting 25 a year for 6? $150? If he could do 30 starts a year like to see my Cubs get. Injuries with him concern me. Cueto or Hayward come on Cubs spend that extra money for filling the seats again

The Chicago Cubs organization is realistic toward the market for the current top tiered Free Agents this year. They’ve developed a strong core of young hitters that hit the majors with an unbelievable strong impact over the last two years!! This is a credit to their minor league scouts and coaches. Even though I’m a season ticket holder with the Cardinals, I’m so impressed with the Cubs Owners, and their top administrative individuals. The Cardinals, under the Mozelack era, are unrealistic about the current market. The Cubs organization has a vision to not just this year but for years to come, and don’t mind paying market price or better to achieve their goal. Since the departure of Jeff Ludouv (sp), the Cardinals minor leagues are sinking. All of Ludlouv’s Cardinals minor league prospects have moved to the parent club with no future big stars on the horizon. I hate it, but the Cardinals Front Office can’t see the big picture of the future. They won’t spend the money necessary to be not just a good team that can make the playoffs and get put out when they hit the strong teams and pitching, but a great team with 2 strong FA additions. Unfortunately, the Cardinals organization is gradually going down hill because of their conservative policy. Kudos to the Cubs organization for showing their fans that they are building a team that will dominate for a long time in the future!!!!

The cubs have no business locking up Cueto. Theyve got Arieta, Lester, and Lackey for the 1-3 role, with Hendricks and Hamels rounding it out. Thats a pretty good overall squad. Cubs need to get an extra contact hitter, or a true reliever and move Rondon to relief.

I’m a big Cueto fan, but I agree the Cubs shouldn’t be in on him. IF they were only in on Price to the tune of 7/$171, then Cueto at 6/$150 seems like a gross evaluation of the gap that exists between the two pitchers.

Dae-ho Lee much over $5m/year seems like a stretch. in his move to Japan and along with getting older his batting numbers are down.
As a Pirates fan about 5M over two or three could be acceptable though he doesn’t seem to be playing first as much any more?
