The team will be much better when both are replaced. Even if you take the most optimistic view possible of this front office, they are awful at improving the roster around the margins. I have zero confidence they could find 2 players that are better. although with Sheets in particular, yeah, it would be difficult to do worse.

RG23SoxFan Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Can we play the Cubs 50 times? Thankfully their offense looks even worse than ours. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 This feels like a Spring Training 'B' game, and the Cubs have most of their good players in the 'A' game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
