Again not defending them but moving bellinger had nothing to do with roki. He’ll get like less than 10M a year. They don’t seem to be spending that money regardless (the Colin Rea signing is less than inspiring), but it wasn’t about Roki
how I envy fans of teams that aren’t run as though it’s some private equity investment to maximize profits above all us
Also this, only team to sign two top fifteen international prospects. https://www.cubsinsider.com/2025/01...p-15-international-free-agents-in-2025-class/
Probably a good move by tuckers side knowing the cubs would want to settle before cubs con starts tomorrow. If I recall correctly he was projected around 15.5M this year so he got himself an extra mil.
Do we know how much they have left? Seems like they were trying to position themselves to be able to trade money to the dodgers or padres for a prospect
Probably not much. Cabada and De La Cruz combined for $3.8 million, Juan Tomas got another $1.1 million. That’s $4.9 of our $6.26 we had available and then we’ve signed four others too but those amounts haven’t been announced yet.
