  1. A huge subset of #Cubs fans is furious the Cubs didn't spend more this offseason, but I'm not one of them.

    They tried for Ohtani, but he was dead-set on the Dodgers. They were in on Yamamoto but a) same issue & b) wowza contract.

    After that, who would they break the bank for? #Bellinger ? His swing data wasn't great even in his comeback year. I can't see giving him $200MM+ when they have so much talent coming up in CF and 1B.

    Snell? No #MLB team wants to give #BlakeSnell the money he's asking for either. Same for #JordanMontgomery. The risk/reward of their asks is not good. #MattChapman maybe? With #MattShaw nearly ready?

    I'd rather the Cubs roll with what they have and save the bullets for #JuanSoto or #AlexBregman or #CorbinBurnes . Save the money for a clear upgrade, not a marginal one.

    Two of the most consistent postseason teams in #baseball are the #Astros and the #Atlanta team. Each rarely signs top FAs but makes up for it with their farm. I'm OK if they're the model.
