So you mentioned it, Dylan Cease possibly, back to the Cubs, this is the rumor, but they were
00:06
also asking about Michael King out there, right? So they're still sniffing around. Their level of
00:10
activity is what interests me right now, because they're not a complete team, and it sounds like
00:17
they know it at the very least. Do you think they have a shot at Cease? They do, they do,
00:21
because the number that I mentioned this morning on MLB Network, they've got seven of the top
00:26
hundred prospects in the industry right now speaks. That is a massive number and gives you
00:32
some ability to acquire talent, bring it in. You think about the relative disappointment that last
00:39
year was for the Cubs. I think they've already had a winning off season to date, and if they
00:45
bring in someone like a Dylan Cease on top of Tucker, on top of Presley, you've got to love
00:52
that, I think if you're a Cubs fan, especially when you still have plenty of currency left in
00:56
your farm system to either call guys up or make trades during the course of the season. I tend
01:02
to think that Shaw's going to get a chance to win a job on this team, and therefore he will not be
01:07
part of a theoretical Dylan Cease deal. But look at the outfield, and whether it's Owen Casey or
01:14
Alcantara, all of them can't play. At some point, you need to look at who you've got and say,
01:20
let's go for this, and I think show a little bit of urgency in year two with Craig Council
01:26
in what I would describe as a very winnable division. The big picture point here, guys,
01:31
is this. The same teams that we heard linked to Juan Soto at different points of that courtship
01:38
and then other high-profile free agents, Corbin Burns comes to mind, a lot of them are big market
01:45
teams who have control of their own TV networks and therefore are a little bit, a little bit,
01:51
I stress, immune to some of the more existential questions about revenues of the game. Dodgers,
01:58
Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, and yes, the Chicago Cubs. They are in that select group of a half
02:05
a dozen teams who know who they are. The Cubs know who they are, what they're supposed to be,
02:11
and getting Dylan Seas with even one year left on his deal would be a big market move
02:17
by a big market team.
