2022 Team - 1060Ivy - 11-30-2021
Will be very sad to see Wilco go but think about that all that payroll flexibility
2022 Team - Butcher - 11-30-2021
So...we aren't trying to be competitive in 2022.

I forgot that Yan Gomes was still in MLB. Seems like money well spent....
2022 Team - funkster - 11-30-2021
I for one am glad we signed the scuzziest looking player in MLB since Justin Turner.
2022 Team - 1060Ivy - 11-30-2021
Gomes signing fixes an issue which may have cost last years team 2-3 wins. Now, improve this squad by another 25 - 30 wins and the 2022 squad could be competitive.

Matt Spiegel just tweeted he hears the Cubs are in deep talks with Stroman.
2022 Team - Butcher - 12-01-2021
I would be really pleased with that acquisition.
Stroman-Hendricks-Miley is actually a damned respectable 1-2-3. Not a World Series rotation, but it would definitely make the team more competitive.
2022 Team - 1060Ivy - 12-01-2021
Would welcome the addition of Stroman. Still concerned with 3 contact oriented pitchers, 4 if you assume Mills in rotation - coupled no longer having a plus defensive infield. Stroman is one of the best free agent arms remaining and should be able to pitch competitively for at least 3 seasons
2022 Team - Auz - 12-01-2021
Stroman has been hitting the like button a lot on a lot of Cubs-Stro tweets. Either this is confirming his signature or he is a master troller

My Lord.
2022 Team - rok - 12-01-2021
I love Stroman. Makes me wonder now if some other big things are in the works post-lockout? Good job Jed.

Also, I'd be shocked if Mills makes the rotation now. I'd prefer a Hendricks/Stroman/Miley/Alzolay/Steele rotation until Killian is ready (and displaces one of Alzolay or Steele).
2022 Team - MrSheps - 12-01-2021
Very happy to see this. Obviously curious to see the contract details, but he was one of my favorite targets for sure.
2022 Team - 1060Ivy - 12-01-2021
Well done on Stroman. Cubs need this signing - even if they aren’t competitive this season
