I'm not a big scapegoat the coaches kinda guy, but I would say
you have to dump Davis at this point. There's just no excuse
for this offense to be this dysfunctional with these players.

Yeah, the hitting coach has to go when a team underperforms this
much as a group.

Honestly, I think you have to look hard at changing everything.
Hitting coach and sign one of Harper or Machado for sure. But I
don't think there should be any sacred cows here, either when it
comes to the core players or the manager.

The biggest sacred cow will be the luxury tax. The Cubs are
right on the edge, and I don't think that management will go
over it. How do they sign a top free agent without going way
over. And how do you trade underachievers for someone that
won't also be an underachiever?

There’s zero chance the Cubs don’t go over next season. The
trick is going to avoid the repeater penalties.

Machado a rumored prima donna. Course, Harper's not exactly Mr.
Congeniality.

The thing you want to avoid is the highest level tax where you
get penalized in the draft. The repeated penalties only affect
the Ricketts bottom line.

Who cares? By all accounts, Heyward and Almora are great guys.
I'll take a prima donna who hits over them any day.
