Not sure I'd say "I like the Hayward signing," but it was definitely less bad, thus the comment ("worse than the Hayward signing by a mile").

The Bregman signing (and to a lesser degree Hayward) are proof of the folly of demanding aggressive actions and free agent signings by the owners for the sake of showing that they "want to win." Bregman is and has always been a fraud. He was probably the 6th best player on those Astros teams, and all of them benefited immensely from and padded their stats using that trash bin spy camera system. I would have rather the Cubs spent that money on a contact hitter (they already had tons of streaky "power hitters" who tended to fade and slump for extended periods of times) and/or a couple of arms.

We can't say that until Bregman has been consistently bad for 5 or 6 years. I felt like he was the face of the cheating. He seemed to revel in it.

He just signed a contract extension less than 11 months ago.

Still, if they miss the playoffs, 1 appearance in 6 years is less than impressive.

as long as they are drawing 37,000 per game and winning 1/2 their games , Hoyer isn’t going anywhere .

It’s clear Ricketts enjoys the deal as it is now . Winning 94 games is not a priority.

it is what it is
