So what happens when you need to sign Bryant, Hendricks, Russell, Schwarber, Baez, etc.. when there's $100M between Lester, Heyward, Montero, Lackey, and Zobrist?


Kids don't realize by the time all these contracts come up, top players will be getting 45-50mil a year.

Everybody thinks their team stays together forever. New ownership built the club the right way etc etc

Lmfao. Montero won't be on the Cubs next year. Lackey and Zobrist will only have 1 year left on their contracts after this season ends. So nice try

Regardless, no cap in baseball. And The Cubs tv rights will be up in a couple years and will get a billion dollar + contact for the TV rights alone and there will be a Cubs channel on tv. They will have so much money that the toilet paper at wrigley will be $100 bills. They can do and buy who/whatever they want. And still have plenty of top prospects to replace people if needed.

Most of our players are under contract until 2020ish

Cubs get a new t.v. contract in 2019.

I don't think we'll be able to sign all of them but Rizzo/Baez are signed through 2020 and the rest are 2021. I also think they all may take a small discount to stay together if they can put together a nice little run.

Team will be dismantled after failing to win a WS.
Maybe not after this season, but they will get tired of never winning it eventually.
