I think the big thing that you just mentioned is his postseason experience is another huge thing in Bregman's favor.

What is Bichette like 29?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Alex Bregman is a Chicago Cub! Plus, The Bears Keep Rolling and the Cubs Make a Splash on the Trade Market | The Compound

28, I believe.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

28.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So, yeah, I would obviously rather have the young.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I think skill set wise, like they're comparable to.

I also have to imagine Bichette's contract would have to have come with more years and more money.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

We'll see when he gets a deal.

When he gets a deal, we'll be able to compare.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

If he gets eight for 240 or whatever, I'd be like, well, I don't know if the Cubs are going to give him that.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

But I will say, just strictly off the player, I probably would have picked Bichette, but it's very comparable.

Ian, Edward Cabrera?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Well, that's what I was going to say, too.

Like, when Steele comes back, another good problem to have is, oh, no, we have six starters.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Like, that's a good problem to have.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Because, you know, like...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

In a 162-game season, knock on wood, hopefully no one gets hurt, but it's very unlikely all five starters make 30-plus starts.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

It's just not the way the world works, unfortunately, in baseball.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So it's one of those where I don't know what Steele's timeline is, but I'm guessing it's probably close to midseason.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
