Got 5 years to figure it out.
They must really think Herrera is dog ###

2-3 years I could live with for him (not that he would sign for that), but this is just classic Mo...just long enough that when he craps out by the all star break, you get to realize the pain will continue for another 4 1/2 years.

He just keeps getting burned by the same dumb deal for B tier players on the back side of their careers.

How can you have Fowler, Leake, Cecil and Miller on your resume over the last 5 years and think this is a good idea?

He probably thought he could get Murphy for DeJong and Noot and then reality sunk in... and when he said catcher was a priority, panicked and took what he thought was a face saver.

Your right, Fowler is the perfect comp.

Definitely going to get more production out of catcher than you've had in the majority of the last 9 seasons, but it might come at the cost of your entire pitching staff doing worse.

When you consider automated strike zone may come during Contreras' contract, it goes back to maybe his defense won't hamstring us as much as previous years.

As soon as the two-pickoff rule was implemented, guys with quicker pop times like Contreras saw their interest rise.

If his bat stays viable, he’s worth it. If it doesn’t, he’s a zero sum player.

His interest rose so much the team that has had him in their system since 2009 had literally 0 interest in extending him beyond his controlled years. Even Dusty Baker didn't want him on the Astros at the deadline when they had ****ing Martin Maldonado starting, and Baker doesn't give a **** about pitchers.

It's a business decision for the Cubs. They don't want to put dollars into a 30-year-old catcher when they have no foundational players and not even a prospect outside of Cristian Hernandez that they can really hang their hat on.

Even though I think Contreras is overrated, I think he can make the deal worthwhile. He did lead the NL in catcher OPS according to the Bill James Handbook. You're going to pay for that. He's been a subpar defensive catcher, but the catching tools were always there. He's a good athlete. I just feel like the Cardinals see an opportunity with him to smooth out some of his edges with rule changes coming.

Cristian Hernandez as their lone prospect...

I actually loved their system pre-2022 because they had a lot of high-ceiling, high-risk lower level guys.

I just feel like many of their most promising guys like Kevin Alcantara, Reginald Preciado, James Triantos didn't take that big step forward this past season and solidify themselves.

Alexander Canario was nice to see. I still don't know if he's a first-division player.

I totally forgot about Pete Crow-Armstrong, too. He's actually a high floor prospect that I should be raving about.

Totally understandable. Easy to forget about their #1 prospect rated by every publication and say that the 18 year old who struggled in rookie ball is the only one in the system.

The reports are glowing on Hernandez.

He has a 50 future value for an 18-year-old on Fangraphs. He's ranked 57th overall on Fangraphs.

How many players does Fangraphs rate above the only prospect in the Cubs system?

My whole point being is that the Cubs lack foundational pieces and Cristian Hernandez is someone I saw as a foundational piece in a farm system that doesn't have the surefire foundational pieces, albeit talented depth.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is more likely Kevin Kiermaier, Harrison Bader to me, but he's still young and building his resume.
