Is there a solid explanation as to why Bellinger’s $17 MM one year deal is split over 2 years?
Cubs are no where close to luxury tax threshold. Yeah, I understand time value of money so it’s cheaper to the Cubs to pay over the longer period. Damn by appearances it seems like Cubs are cheap and / or finances just might not be as strong as Kenny and Tom are saying.
I’m still getting weekly calls and emails from STH and group ticket reps despite getting rid of all seasons over a year ago.
Still believe the Cubs print money but no clue what debt financing looks like or what other endeavors are backed by Cubs financial commitments. Again, no clue as to why team would say they’re planning to spend money then get shut out of Senga and Vázquez deals which appeared reasonable.
Grasping at rationales for how a major market team can lose their best hitter and staring at potential 100 loss roster and not be more active in free agency or trades. I’m not referring to Judges nor Correas premier free agents but solid defensive catcher and first baseman shouldn’t be too much for Tom to write a check for
