2024 Game 81: Minnesota Twins at Arizona Diamondbacks

David Festa vs Jordan Montgomery Afternoon game alert! Top pitching prospect debut alert! True first half of the season ends today and David Festa makes his long awaited debut. Festa should make two or three more starts until Paddack comes off the IL so I'm really curious how these few games will go.
A huge subset of #Cubs fans is furious the Cubs didn't spend more this offseason, but I'm not one of them.
They tried for Ohtani, but he was dead-set on the Dodgers. They were in on Yamamoto but a) same issue & b) wowza contract.
After that, who would they break the bank for? #Bellinger ? His swing data wasn't great even in his comeback year. I can't see giving him $200MM+ when they have so much talent coming up in CF and 1B.
Snell? No #MLB team wants to give #BlakeSnell the money he's asking for either. Same for #JordanMontgomery. The risk/reward of their asks is not good. #MattChapman maybe? With #MattShaw nearly ready?
I'd rather the Cubs roll with what they have and save the bullets for #JuanSoto or #AlexBregman or #CorbinBurnes . Save the money for a clear upgrade, not a marginal one.
Two of the most consistent postseason teams in #baseball are the #Astros and the #Atlanta team. Each rarely signs top FAs but makes up for it with their farm. I'm OK if they're the model.
