Nope. Article headline insinuates he was released directly because he won arbitration. That is not the case hth

taylor was on my short list for that turn, along with grillo, ghim and noren as well as Hairass English but good lord his track record here is so bad.

super smooth draft and supp, as always. Even faster than I remember. 8 days before opening games. great job

knew that one was coming 5.9 Doug Ghim 6.1 Alex Noren

I say misleading because the title makes it sound like the team released him directly because he beat them in arbitration and they were upset about it. If they don't sign those other big name free agents, he doesn't get released regardless. but yes, you are correct that it made it easy for them to do.

misleading headline. I would say his release had almost nothing to do with the team losing in arbitration and much more to do with the team signing Matt Chapman at third base and Jorge Soler as their DH. They didn't really need Davis and Wilmer Flores both on the bench.

it’s not the second and fifth I question

I think it screams of Joe and Brian knowing their seats are hot. Rebuilding teams don’t usually trade away picks for a player they have to give a big contract to. It’s generally the other way around. guess they are going all in with Jones. Better draft Odunze.

He is still absolutely a franchise QB, imo.

3.9 Tom Hoge 4.1 Keith Mitchell @Fumbleweed

28.04 - Freddy Peralta, P, MIL

absolutely. I had him typed in with Hideki at the top of round 2 and talked myself into Moweekawa

no offense but you're saying "lol not gonna argue this" but you're the one arguing it and it's a little odd because we are actually in 100% agreement and it seems like you are just confused about my post or like you just wanted someone else to argue with on that topic i'll explain just one more time and let it be. I agree with the premise that having a very good veteran QB behind a promising rookie is a good thing (for the bears or any team). I was pointing out to Seafoam that Justin Fields does not fit that description.

i'm not with the league being only 12 teams and the depth of talented, unowned players available I have felt for the past 2-3 seasons that it might actually be a detriment to have the most ping pong balls in the supplemental lottery. You can just as easily get a stud at the end of round 27 and have several still to choose from at the top of round 28. that said, Judge is already dinged up, plus I can't bring myself to pick a Yankee unless there is no other choice

Yes... a vet... that was my point. I literally said that Fields was NOT what seafoam was describing

went back another page or two and didn't see any other mention of Fields. Unlike you, don't have time to go back and read more pages of posts so if there was some sort of comment I missed that helps explain this nonsense, feel free to key me in. Otherwise it sounds like you know about as much football as you do politics

ok. "agreed" was just me agreeing that the bears, or any team for that matter, would love to have a very good veteran behind a promising rookie

what? when did i say williams should sit and learn behind fields? All i did was quote seafoam saying that the bears would love to have a good veteran backup and a star rookie QB and point out that Fields is not what anyone would consider a good veteran

i dont usually question what the packers do. one of those always well run organizations... but it is peculiar, imo, to get rid of a great dude in Aaron Jones who has always produced when healthy and sign Jacobs who predictably was not the same last season. 4 years 40 something versus 3 years 30 something for barkley

agreed. Only problem with your logic is viewing Fields as a very good veteran QB when in reality, any team interested in him is interested because he is still young and raw with possible upside. He doesn't fit the mold you're giving him

Nice

@bostonlager i created the sheet for the players

I was pretty sure you would pick Robert. I considered him but I think my team needs more raw power... not that Robert doesnt have plenty of power. maybe i'll regret not going with the guy who also gets steals. guess i went with the extra rbi and walks.

27.09 - Yordan Alvarez, OF, HOU

windy clark hadn't missed a cut until I drafted him at the genesis. Adam scott hadn't missed a cut until last week. I'm hoping that MC for Morikawa last week is a good thing
