Theo's press conference should be starting up any minute. The Cubs are showing it on YouTube.

A very long press conference. I listened to most of it. Would like to have been able to take notes. Seemed pretty clear there .will be substantial changes. At one point, discussing players nearing end of control, said if longer deal cannot be reached that would be a factor in openess to trades. Said he cared more about what they would receive in trade than what they would give up. Emphasized the need for players adept at contact, also the importance of how they would benefit the team long term, not just short term.
