wouldn't spring training be the best time for their on air personalities to be obtaining all the background information they need to make the in season broadcasting experience most enjoyable?

They built some billion dollar facility down there and are cheaping out in putting up their broadcasters at a motel 8 for a month?

Opt outs after the first two years. Its a good deal for both sides. Gives Pete Too Many Names time to develop more

Love this signing. They learned from the J.Hey deal to not give out long contracts when you have young players coming up though the farm system.

Boris takes the L on this one. Didn't think he would cave. Bellinger must have told him to get it done with the Cubs.

Ricketts/Hoyer win. Probably not much off their original offer. 30/30/20 w/2 player opt-outs puts all the pressure on Bellinger to produce and not live on the IL as much. No way he's here 3 years unless he's horrible. Far cry from the 10/300 that would of had a Heyward stench to it.

What a world we live in when a guy “only“ getting $90 million for three years worth of work is considered a win

The Cubs caved. Bored wins.

Edit: At best, Bellinger plays great and the Cubs win the WS or trade him at the deadline for great prospects. Outside of that, Bellinger has all of the upside. If he sucks, he has $100M in financial security. If he plays great, he opts out and someone gives him a bigger deal.

If a player wants an opt out, a team should have a buyout. If there's no buy out, Boras won.

The Cubs had all of the leverage too.

I don't know if you ever noticed, but Boras lies, like every day.

Once the Yankees and Giants moved on Boras had no leverage. Chapman, Snell and Montgomery are still out there. The Boras era is over

It is a huge win. The years is key. If Bell opts out, then you just play this same game again.

What's the upside for the Cubs beyond what I listed above. Hoyer got bent over.

He’s probably comfortable in that position.

The Cubs are playing for time for their prospects to be ready. This is a win win. There is no downside.

If he sucks or gets injured the Cubs are stuck with him. That's not a win.
