2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[Retroballer]

Billy Eppler has a plan.

2017-sign Ace
2018-sign Ace and Power hitter. Draft future HOFers.
2019-Sign Ace and best hitter in the marker. Draft more future HOFers.
2020-Sign Ace. Graduate some of those HOFers to the majors.

Now you have four Aces, and at least three future HOFers in the lineup. Easy.

It's just that easy!

Marwin Gonzalez has hit 26 career home runs. The first 25 were all solo shots. Tonight was his first homerun with a runner on.

2014 A's

I need a trigger warning for that. Makes me sad every time I think about it.

A rotation of Lester, Gray, Shark, Kaz, Hammel that only played one postseason game 

 

Adam Dunn not getting an at-bat in his only postseason game 

 

Also, Manfred said today that his top choices for expansion are Mexico City and Montreal.

I dont think they should expand to Mexico City...I don't think a bunch of MLB players would wanna live there imo lol.
