Made a huge thing about Rollins passing Schmidt. Congrats to him.

Would it be horribly bad to just release Jackson and eat remaining 2 yrs ?

Its like football. The call on field will always stand if it is extremely close. If he was called safe, the wouldn't have overturned it either.

I dont disagree but when they show a replay of his foot on base and glove still open, there no doubt there..

Long relief? It seems like sometimes he can piece together an inning or two of respectable work...

So why did they eat Sori's deal to save A $. Then in the same year give that turd 52 mil?

Sori was productive.

Jackson has always been league avg at bast and worse with the Cubs.

Again I am perplexed with the question. Does Theo even know what he is doing?

In Bost he had a owner pushing to win and a team Pres pushing it.

Here he has a owner not looking to win.

And he is bumbling with signings and putting up the stop signs on development to keep out of future payroll problems.

Back when he signed on I was thinking the future was looking up.

Now....I believe this team will never get better. And if a player gets pricy then he will get traded unless he signs a team friendly deal.

What a joke.

The was part is key there. Have you seen his production so far this year?

Yea, that about where he was last year when they traded him.. im sure come july/Aug he will get hot for a stretch but it looks as if soriano playing career coming to an end.. id be surprise if a team signs him this off season, if so it would probably be a low 1 yr deal to be a DH..

I was actually happy the franchise cornerstone has played better as of late.

Rizzo has played great this year. No one should complain about him. Castro with 2 out knock. 2-0 Cubs. Castro now swipes a bag.

Yeah I doubt he finishes this bad, but right now Soriano would be the third or fourth best OF on the Cubs given the way he has played in a pretty hitter friendly ball park. And that says something about the year he has had.
