That actually ties the room together very nicely because we're talking about contract development.

What if we talked about quarterback development and we used the conversation that Caleb had with Max Crosby, who could be a bear, to discuss all of that stuff?

It's almost like we planned it.

I know, right?

We will do all of that next here on The Score.

Yeah, pitchers and catchers is very, very soon.

First Cubs game is the 20th, so that's two weeks from Friday.

But yeah, we're super duper close.

But there's always stuff, you know, Lawrence, there's always stuff.

Yeah, they'll bring in defensive replacements for a lot of games.

But anyway, Nico Horner going to get traded?

He has not.

And I don't think he will be.

I think we can close the book on the idea that Nico was going to get dealt because the last team that desperately needed a second baseman and an infielder really to try and sort it out was the Boston Red Sox.

The Boston Red Sox did call the Cubs about Nico Horner.

They ended up talking more about Matt Shaw than Nico Horner.

And then the Boston Red Sox traded with the Brewers for Caleb Durbin.

That fills their need.

They did not get what they wanted from the Cubs in terms of Nico and the Matt Shaw conversations apparently did not go well enough for both sides to consummate something there.

But I think we can sit in good thought that Nico Horner will be a member of these Chicago Cubs.
