I can't believe they just decided to let him walk rather than just pay him market value.

A $17.5 AAS for a top 5 catcher is not a bank breaking deal by any means.

Don't get me wrong, having bad teams in our division makes it easier for my team to thrive, but watching a really talented squad get blown up - Over Money - irks me.

With the Cubs TV contract, merch sales and attendence at Wriggly they should be on NY LA or Boston's level
