I'm not a Cubs fan, I'm a White Sox fan, so I don't care one way or the other, but he's WAY overrated for the money he's looking for. I live in Houston and I've seen his entire career, and what he is is an outstanding second or third bat in a great lineup. It's a lot easier to put up those big numbers he's had when he's been in a lineup with Jose Altuve, Jeremy Pena, Alex Bregman, and hitting directly in front of Yordan Alvarez who when healthy frightens pitching staffs, leaving Kyle with plenty of good pitches to feast on. But it's a lot harder to put up those numbers when all the lights are on you. When you're expected to be The Guy, the bell cow, the lead dog, the centerpiece of the lineup.

If he can be had for $375-400 million, he'd be great to keep. But If he's insisting on $500 million or more, the Cubs would be a lot better off letting him go and using that money on getting a couple of top-of-the line starters, or getting a stud starter and a reliable closer. With Justin Steele coming back plus a major upgrade to your pitching staff, the Cubs can be truly lethal next year. Just my opinion as a non Cubs-hating Sox fan.

Cubs have a lot of young talent at the moment, Tucker, PCA, Swanson, maybe Ballesteros will be ready next year. Pitching situaion will likely be dictated around what they so with Imanaga and Horton. I would love to see them go after Cease or Valdez but i feel thay highly unlikely, as well as a top tier closer. As much as I would like to see Tucker stay, preferably on something ahort term, may 3-4 years at a discounted rate to make another run, I feel thats also unlikely. Hoyer got his work cut out for him, the Cubs are legit now and fans will expect them back in thr playoffs next year.

Yeah, at least he won't command a salary like Juan Soto but he's a gonna be expensive regardless looking to get close to $500 million.

I heard the Phillies was the 2nd team on his list that he wanted to go to .

My fault, it's a reporter with a prediction named my phillies as the top 2 landing spot for him..

I believe the cubs is #1 if they can keep him..

OH ok well I think hes gone from the Cubs; Cubs run their organization like the Marlins and its ridiculous; I hope he leaves; I hate organizations who act broke when they are the complete opposite...
