None of our guys are coming back. I've made peace with it. I'm not thrilled with the current state of the team, but that's a different issue.

But the endless pining for Schwarber, Baez, Rizzo, and KB got borderline creepy.

At least we can watch Javy periodically beat on the White Sox

It's weird.

I don't get it either. They were all going to leave eventually. Anyway, it's going to be one excruciatingly long and dull lock-out on the North Side. And I highly doubt that Jed is simply waiting for the new CBA to start spending non-Yan Gomes money on big FAs. Can't believe that is a popular narrative out there.

Because it would have been nice to have ONE of them stick around and be an Ernie Banks type legacy player.
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy

Compartmentalize all you want but it does suck that some of these guys are in different uniforms

The Giants managed to keep a few of their core guys around as they rebuilt, wish the Cubs could have done that. Contrerasis is still there I suppose, but not quite the same.

The way the Giants handled Posey was ideal. He stuck around, had a few more nice seasons, and got to retire a Giant. You'd think the Cubs could've found *one* guy from the historic team that finally won a fucking World Series to keep around and retire a Cub.

I'm more stuck on the general idea that it's fucking weird that we're the only team that doesn't seem to extend our young talent. |
