Now that it’s the off-season...

Bullpen, Bullpen, Bullpen but honestly the bats have to wake up next year.
I would love for the Cubs to add Lindor, and maybe move Baez to second base? But I know that's likely not going to happen

I want the tigers to get veteran players they can shop at the deadline. Like they did this year with Schoop and Cron even though they never got traded
How about a manager? Anyone you like?
With how bad the team is Hinch or Cora wouldn’t be a bad option. Them cheating aside I think Detroit could be a good place for one of them to redeem themselves

Hinch could be good. He’s brought a 100 win team to the top before.

If anything, mookie Betts paves the way for Lindor and Cleveland. Some team might be willing to give up something good after watching what Mookie did. I think that would make 3/4 of the cubs infield in a contract year. They certainly would be motivated.
What is the cubs feeling about Lester? Do you think they’ll keep him? I think he’s a FA.
Bullpen arms: Treinen showed he’s got the stuff and I’m not sure the dodgers will want to pay him. I think Doolittle is a free agent and he is solid.

For Lester: I doubt we accept his option. I wouldn't pay the dude 20 mil/12 mil (Not sure which)
If we decline, and then we sign him as a FA, that might be nice, as a 4th starter? -
To be honest, I just hope that Theo does something this year. For the last two/three off-season's, he has said that they need change, but hasn't done a thing.
@samguenther1987 I would LOVE if we got Lindor, but I doubt we will. What we need: For our pitching to do good, MAYBE pick up Bauer?????? Get 1-2 SP, some bullpen, and then an offensive player or two. As Tom Ricketts said last year (2019) when asked if the Cubs could afford to resign their core: We have the money, it is up to Theo and Jed to decide.
Me: THEN DO IT YOU IDIOTS! I doubt we keep Rizzo. If we do, it will be because we resigned KB. I am not sure if we keep KB. This year for him helped out case, as he won't get as much money as he was going to. Javy: I would guess we resign him.
Contreras: Maybe? I mean, Caratini is a decent catcher. I would almost want to trade Wilson, get something back, and lose a little bit of skill that Caratini doesn't have.
Schwarber: I hope not. I like HIM, but not him as a player. He always swings for the fences, much like Bellinger. He doesn't know how to just get a SINGLE. I doubt he has heard the word before! If we keep him, something has to change. Are there any people that are leaving soon? I can keep going.
You know what? I will!
Kipnis: Get rid of him, he is a piece of TRASH. Absolute GARBAGE. Especially on defense. There were SO MANY plays that Hoerner, who I think deserves the starting role, could have made. Not just on defense. Hoerner is better in offense also!
Fun game: Name a player on the Cubs, and I will discuss them, answering any questions you want -
Honestly idk, I'd like Nelson Cruz if the DH does come back, but so far signs point to no. I wouldn't mind Michael Brantley, he is always good for a professional at-bat and would give Goldy at least some protection.

Who do you want your team to go get? For the sake of fun and sanity, we will assume that we have some form of a regular season next year.
Off the top of my head, here are some of the bigger free agents: Bauer, Didi, Realmuto, Semien, Springer, Cruz, I’m sure there are others.
You’ve also got about 5 prime shortstop entering the last year of their deal that might be on the block.
I’m a dodger fan and I’m only a little greedy. I just want to keep these guys I’ve followed for so long: Turner, kike, joc. But, you could argue that they are all expendable with the other pieces the dodgers have. How about rich hill? You can never have enough pitching.
Who do you want?
I hope the dodgers keep Turner He is a clubhouse leader. I like Kiki I hope he stays. I do not see them signing Joc. Would be nice if they kept all three of those guys. They could trade off Jansen.

Marcell Ozuna is going to get paid.

I think the Cardinals need hitters and low key need to resign Kolten Wong I like him as a player, but our outfielders need some help. I would say get rid of Dexter Fowler and idk Matt Carpenter
-
I would like to see the Royals call up Bobby Witt Jr. and figure out a way for him and Adalberto Mondesi to both start somewhere in the infield. I think an opening in LF vacated by Alex Gordon could be filled by a free agent or a defense-improved Jorge Soler. The young starters they called up this year offered some prospects showing what they can do, but I think at least one free agent veteran starting pitcher would be a good idea. Their bullpen made strides in 2020, which was good.

I want the Rockies to gut the FO, trade Nolan, Trevor, and Marquez for some quality prospects. Then wait 5 years.
