IGT: vs Reds.

Tank for 4-5 years to collect prospects.
No more half assing things.
Should have left Darvish if you wanted to contend.
Should have traded the whole team if you didn't want to contend.

I agree with everything but the 4-5 years thing. Teams with the budget the size of the cubs should never need 4-5 years to rebuild. Look at the Red Sox…they traded away Betts(arguably a top 5 player in all of baseball), then sucked ass for a year, and now look like one of the top 5 contenders in baseball…and that’s been without Chris sale, whomst they get back soon. If it takes 4-5 years for the cubs to get back to contending, then somebody fucked up and needs to lose their job(s)

I agree with most of what you said but does this team even have a Devers to build upon.
Davis maybe that piece but how many years away is he?

no, probably not. What they do have that the Red Sox don’t however, is a bunch of really good bullpen arms. Neither team has much starting pitching.
