My thoughts on this is that I don't understand why Cubs fans are so nonchalantly dismissive Archived Message

I even saw a tweet about Chapman being "low ceiling" Matt Chapman was worth 3.5 fWAR and 4.4 rWAR last season. Here are his fWAR since 2018 not including the covid season. 6.3 5.7 4.1 4.2 3.5 He's clearly an elite glove and he has some of the best statcast numbers offensively in baseball. He's projected for ~4 WAR this season. It wouldn't surprise me if Chapman is better than any Cubs position player this season let alone some combination of Morel/Madrigal/Wisdom/. This is an exceptionally reasonably deal for him as well. Now if someone wants to argue the resources are better used on Montgomery or maybe Martinez I wouldn't necessarily argue but if they aren't using resources elsewhere and just passing on Chapman because they somehow think that Morel is higher ceiling well I think that's a mistake.
