Rumor was that Cubs offered Kris an extension in excess of $200 million and he turned it down. Going to be a shite show with all the young talent needing to get paid.

That rumor was shot down by some other connected people. Although, Boras is going to do everything he can to get Bryant to free agency.

Wonder who they’ll get
I know it's a pipe dream, given he's a California man and has history with the Cards, but hiring Mark McGwire would be awesome, IMO.

Dave Magadan was a name dropped in a Tribune article yesterday. The DBacks didn't retain him and has worked under Theo before.

Iapoce, 45, is no stranger to the team after spending three years as the Special Assistant to the GM for the Cubs organization and overseeing the club's minor league hitting program from 2013-15.
He spent the last three seasons as the hitting coach for the Texas Rangers, where, during his time, they became the first team in big league history to see nine players reach 17 homers in the same season.

In my little time I've had to look into him, I'll take it.
Of course I'm just a guy with a Cubs pullover on, so I really don't know a whole lot.

Glad we are keeping Hamels.
Curious about the Smyly trade.

They picked up Q’s option as well

What's gonna be sad is when that salary is sitting on the bench while Harper is in his spot.

Smylys money is being used for Hamels, which it should be. Dude was money after the trade

I don't really understand the Hamels thing. He had a club option with a $6M buyout that the Rangers would have paid. Seems like it would have been smarter to decline his option, let the Rangers pay him $6M, then sign him to a contract after that. Unless there are rules I don't understand.
Also, some who know more about this than me are worrying that the Cubs are starting to pinch pennies being up against the luxury tax. If that's true, I'm going to get really pissed off. If Harper/Machado doesn't fit, fine; but it better not be because of money.
