Remember when all we could talk about was how the Cubs weren’t pursuing even mid-level free agents in what appeared to be an attempt to duck below the salary and reset their competitive balance tax penalties? Those sure were the days. Now we’re stuck watching Ian Happ play MLB The Show online and scouring social media for pictures of Kris Bryant‘s new baby boy. Actually, those are probably more fruitful pursuits in the end.
With baseball’s immediate future already bleak and growing more so with each passing day, I figured it was high time to go ahead and piss in this winter’s Cheerios as well.
