This is the real question right? Forget about everything else. The real question that needs to be answered that will determine if the Cubs acquire Manny Machado or not, is Manny or Bryce?
I’m all in for getting Manny Machado… even if it’s just for a rental. I’ve wrote about this before. He’s an upgrade, period. If we’re not the favorites in the NL already, we become the favorites the minute he joins the team, period. Yeah, I know he’s working on his defense at SS since he just switched back over there, but he’ll get there. He was phenomenal at 3B… it’s only a matter of time. But his bat… wow his bat. This dude is a candidate for MVP every year. Addison Russell is not.
Don’t get me wrong… I love Addison… always will. But, will he ever be as good as Manny? OK, so who else do we have to include to get him? Not much I’m thinking. Montgomery? Make it happen. He wants to start anyways. Done deal, but…
But if the Cubs were to do this, they would most certainly want to extend Manny out. He’s going to want to get paid period. The Cubs can pay him, but… if the Cubs pay him, then we won’t be able to pay Harper. So if the Cubs do not acquire Machado, then that is a clear indication to me, that we are going all in on Bryce in the offseason. I’m OK with that.
But back to my whole rental is OK argument. Let’s have our cake and eat it too. Let’s get Machado and bank another title this year. Then, if we really want Bryce, let Manny walk, and sign Bryce for next year and beyond. Let’s do it.

But what about SS going forward? Um, we have one on the roster… his name is Baez. Put him there, and then mix up Zobrist and Happ at 2B. Done. Any questions?
OK, well what if Happ is part of the Machado deal? Then Zobrist and LaStella at 2B… or the next minor leaguer we have coming up. Fill in the blanks. Russell is going to want to get paid eventually… everybody can’t get paid. We do need some role players. We can’t have ALL superstars, can we? Haha…
Make it happen Theo. The answer to the question Manny or Bryce is… BOTH! We are the Cubs and we’re not F-ing around. It’s all about the Ws… wins and World Series titles. Anything less than a title is a failure, sorry it is. This is the world we live in now. How does it feel to be the Yankees?
Damn good I say. The Cubs should be in the discussion every single year. The Cubs should be a possible destination for every single free agent. We have the money to compete with anybody, anywhere, any time. There are no more excuses. There are no more loveable losers. It’s a whole new world folks.
I have plenty of room on my Cubs hat, the one with the 2016 World Series trophy, to add another… Go Cubs!
