Source made a mistake. The #Athletics Alcantara, NOT the #Cubs one. SP Raul Alcantara is involved in the talks, not Arismendy.

 

HAHAHAHAHHAA

His "source" being Twitter and having heard of Arismendy, but not Raul.

[Shilzzz]

someone here mentioned it not being Raul Alcantara in this deal because he is on the dl after having tjs in may

arodys vizcaino is a good water mark regarding that angle

[Schwarber Fan]

LOL if both Alcantaras end up on the same team.

Hell yes. RT @MstrClean: @ProfessorParks If Cubs get Russell, is it one of best collections of hitting talent in a farm in a long time?

 

I mean...it's obvious. But it's fun.

[RammyFanny]

I'm going to call that some sort of Carmelo news breaks tonight and Twitter dies.

[Shilzzz]

Tommy Milone is not that impressive.

[Guest]

I know about Russell...does anyone know much about McKinney/\?

DEAL IS DONE: #Cubs send Samardzija and Hammel to #Athletics for Addison Russell, per sources. May be other players and team(s) involved.

[davell]

Straily and Pomeranz are both hurt.

I want more than Russell if we've dealt both.

[Shilzzz]

wow yeah man

where is THE STUNNING!~~

[Derwood]

"Win now" is the new market inefficiency

[ScrubMD]

For them to deal both pitchers this early, there's got to be a hell of a lot more than Russell.

[Clem Fandango]

IT'S BEEN 5 MINUTES I DEMAND NEW INFORMATION

[ScrubMD]

Multiple sources reporting that Samardzija and Hammel are both going to Oakland.

Dan Straily and Billy McKinney also headed to Chicago along with Addison Russell

Seriously, though, a lot of people had speculated lately that prospects were becoming overvalued and someone should take advantage of that. Of course it's Beane.

Addison Russell will rank #6 overall on the upcoming #BPTop50. That would give the #Cubs the #3, #5, #6, and #18 best prospects in MiLB.

jesus [expletive] christ, I thought this was going to end up being total bs
