Would like to see Cubs extend Happ this off-season. Of course,
as we all know, Cubs dont have much of a track record of being
able to extend key contributors. But, Happ is coming off a 4 WAR
season.
Of course, for the right deal, most anyone is expendable. But,
with only one year of control left, Cubs not going to get all
that much. So, do an extension.

Is AAA stats with the Braves are interesting. Traded a small bit
of power for a lot more contact.

Bellinger is a non-tender.

While I'm all for adding as many ex-Savannah Bananas as
possible, this is another kind of weird move.

You need to add lefty bats, not trade one for another.
Especially a relative sure thing for a complete LIAB.

deeg, I imagine Bannon is one of those deals where they claim a
guy, with no expectation of keeping him on the 40-man. After
they start signing the big-league free agents, they'll waive
him, with hopes that he'll end up at Iowa. Nothing lost in
doing so.

Most likely, a sense of why bother to it but I suppose there's a
non-zero chance you could sneak him through waivers and stash
him at AAA (which is what the three teams that non-tendered him
were hoping to do).
It's looking increasingly like the Cubs will have to outbid
better teams to sign Senga, which means that's unlikely to
happen. What's the backup plan for the rotation, then?
Realistically there's no way they're signing Verlander, deGrom
or Rodon.

It's certainly possible - probably even likely - that the Cubs
won't sign Senga, but they did outbid a number of better teams
last year to sign Suzuki.

Cubs non-tender Ortega, Marquez, and Vizcaino.
Sampson and Wick sign one-year deals to avoid arbitration.
Happ, Heuer, Hoerner, and Madrigal tendered.
