The president of the Cubs about holding back Baez, Bryant and Rizzo: “It is not realistic to keep all the players”

Chicago. Jed Hoyer plans to talk to Kris Bryant about his future during the first training session. También en agenda para el chief execivé de béisbol de los Cubs de Chicago: similar discussions with Javier Báez and Anthony Rizzo.

The three teenagers have contracts that expire after this time, when they can convert to free agents. The most permanent time in Chicago has been for its great interrogators, as the Cubs open up training courses in Arizona.

“I love to keep this continuity with these many in the future”, says Hoyer on March. “Financially, it is impossible for any team to continue with this group”.

The Chicago Habitat tax denomination has been valued at $ 216 million since last year, while the full term is still valid, as is the case with the second-year tax code.

Bryant, Báez and Rizzo will travel to Chicago to win the 2016 World Cup, featuring a series of 1908 championships. The Cubs will finish first in the Central Division of the National League in time to play and reach the playoffs for the fifth time in six years. Pero solo lograron un carrera en dos juegos en una barrida de comodines ante Miami.

Chicago has not advanced in the post-season since being relegated to the National League Series in 2017. It has an image change on its truck. And it’s not clear how long it will take for three of his majors to shine with the team.

El nombre de Bryant, in particular, has an operation and rumors about the intercambio. Hoyer says that the Cubs have not established conversations with other clubs at all.

“Estuvimos envueltos en muchos rumors is este año. Some are completely inaccurate. And it would be nice if some of them were simply exaggerated: the series of their discussions “, Verklaar Hoyer.

But it is also known that there are more changes that Bryant, Rizzo and Báez are likely to retain. Bryant had a salary of $ 19.5 million, Rizzo $ 16.5 million and Báez $ 11.65 million.

‘“We love it all the time, very clearly, that our tastes are maintained by some of our players,” Hoyer recalled. ‘So serious. But it is not realistic to mention to all the players that an important part of 2016 will take place. This is only a reality ”.

Chicago has some important moves in the past.

Theo Epstein graduated and Hoyer was promoted to president of baseball operations.

Los Cauba exchanged money with Yu Darvish for $ 3 million in San Diego, raising $ 56 million from 2021-23, and he lost to Jon Lester, who signed a $ 5 million contract with another Washington and the agency. Kyle Schwarber, who signed a $ 10 million contract with the Nationals, refused to sign a contract, and Joc Pederson agreed to a $ 7 million agreement to replace him.

The Cubs are reuniting with a familiar car after Jake Arrieta agreed last week to a $ 6 million deal that required a physical exam. The winner of the Cy Young Award from the 2015 National League has essentially occupied Lester’s place after Hoyer received additional financial flexibility during the last weeks.

“It’s more of a question of time than anything else,” said Hoyer. ‘Jon Lester did not have a constant and my carrera. Ek encanta tenerlo. He is a team-mate A-plus and obviously a competitor A-plus “.

Hoyer indicates that the Cubs are looking to add a relevance, claiming that “probably” will announce a move soon. He also said that Rowan Wick would return to the camp committee to attend a lesierg lesion in the area of ​​the costiles, and Kyle Ryan would return to the COVID-19 protocol.

When the trader moves, the Cubs appear to be listed. This work belongs to Craig Kimbrel now.

Mánager David Ross dijo que espera comience la temporada en su rol familiar después de lanzar mejor en la rectta finale del año pasado. The All-Star has two problems with the principles of 2020 and the loss of its work. But in addition to appearances in September, Kimbrel did not allow a car and poncho to 13 without a base for balls in 7 1/3 entries. Jeremy Jeffress, who has an efficiency of 1.54 and also salvaged in 10 opportunities, is a free agent.

“Step by step”, says Ross. “Work to get it done differently. Hablando with el, if very well this time is bad. The work, the videos I sent, are very popular. … While Craig sees who we know can be, our neighbor will be “.
