In fact, lose the potato

Yeah it sounds like he may have been affected by early symptoms (depth perception issues, short term memory loss, decision making) during his time with the Cubs.

Fun (or maybe not) hypothetical....general idea borrowed from discussions in another topic, plus the FG article today about farm system value.

 

Cole Hamels + Cliff Lee + Enough money to pick up all of both contracts (just the buyout for Lee) for Kris Bryant.

 

Thoughts?

The Phillies could include double of what is left on their contracts and I still wouldn't do it. I only move Bryant if I am getting Harper and Strasberg back in some sort of mega trade.
