Johnson & Maholm traded to Braves for RHP Vizcaino & Chapman

[Little Slide Rooter]

Any chance that Maholm, Dempster, and Garza are traded? Good God, our rotation would Shark/Wood/Germano/Raley/Volstad.

By the way, Graham and Spruill would be a very solid return.

 

Agree.

#Cubs are getting two minor league pitchers in Maholm-Johnson deal, source says. Not in the Minor-Delgado-Teheran-Gilmartin group.

 

Really? They couldn't even get Gilmartin?

 

This is Maholm and Johnson we're talking about.

 

I demand Gilmartin AND Teheran!

[Shilzzz]

i'd take kris medlen.

not that that'd happen, either.

And Samardzija is on an innings limit.

 

We still wouldn't catch the Astros :(

You know, Johnson, the guy that caused mass panic around here when Theo signed him for a million bucks this offseason.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Maybe this trade happened like WSR said it would.

 

"What's that, you don't want Dempster? It's cool, how about Maholm and Johnson?"

 

If it did, WSR would be [expletive] insufferable.

 

I'm not much for told-ya-sos. But thanks for changing that avatar to one that doesn't induce seizures.

That was a ridiculous day.

Too many things going on. Was Baker giving the hugs too? Thought I saw that somewhere, but no one's mentioning it on Twitter.

Rogers says THREE pitching prospects.

I have to go make dinner for the fam but I can't tear myself away from the computer right now...

will the Cubs have enough players to field a roster?

We'll have to call up the I-Cubs.

 

Should be a fun second half of the season.

[neely crenshaw]

The panic was a bit over the top but with this team, you can easily say just about any signing was unnecessary. If we didn't sign Johnson, we would have been where?

He had a really solid year, and now gets to play with a contender to perhaps finish his career. Good for him.

If he doesn't retire, he might be back here next year.

Ugh. Quantity over quality?

We were thinking it was just them messing around.

 

 

Baker is still in right.

Graham. He'd possibly be top 10 in our system. Spruill probably top 15ish. Graham's had the better season. Cody Martin is an interesting guy too for them, although he's really old for his level. But he's been listed as a breakout type.

My Twitter feed just petered out. Theo and Jed getting lazy.

I got it from twitter,

but now they just showed Dempster chewing seeds on the bench. Nearly turned my stomach...

i bet we get kris medlen, who goes directly into cubs' rotation.

[davell]

Another guy is Luis Merejo. Only 17, lefty, pinpoint control out of Dominican, twaring up GCL(or whatever league they have a team in)
