If #Cubs get Lester, industry source says next move would be to pursue big bat and try to accelerate revival. A bat in addition to Montero.

Yes please?

[hawkeyecub]

This will/would make the kick to the nuts worse.

This has to happen.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Is Montero that bat?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yep. Dammit. They've found a way to hurt me again when they PTR it up.

[hawkeyecub]

Is Montero that bat?

 

The last sentence says "a bat in addition to Montero"

So if not, we just do nothing? Typical.

How miserable are you? Yes I'm sure it will either be "get everyone" or "get no one".

 

Don't they know they have to keep up with a team in the AL Central?

Or they go for the bat and get one of the other big pitchers.

Yup, they'll just pack it up for the offseason, because that's clearly what that said.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Upton and Kemp would qualify, who else is out there that would be considered a big bat?

Have to admit, I was having the same negative thought. Also considered the possibility they already know they're not getting Lester & would use not getting him as a reason for not pursuing any other impact payroll. :shrug: Battered Cubs fan syndrome

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Mineaswell trade Rizzo if they whiff on Lester.

[Tryptamine]

Upton and Kemp would qualify, who else is out there that would be considered a big bat?

 

Names that have been mentioned as available. Carlos Gonzales, Jay Bruce,Cespedes,Beltran etc.

mojo just had to leave the room

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

what would mojo's reaction if soler had to be in a cespedes deal.

[gscool89]

That would be just terrible. Soler is younger, cheaper, and probably better than Cespedes

[Guest]

you know i hadn't thought of it that way

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

yeah, I know, but mojo's bromance with cespedes is legendary

[minnesotacubsfan]

Ok guys it's Tuesday on the right coast where's the [expletive] decision Jon

[Sammy Sofa]

what would mojo's reaction if soler had to be in a cespedes deal.

 

Pure blinding rage. Soler is by far my favorite of the Cubs' young players.

 

Now if they can get Cespedes so that both Cuban gods can rule Wrigley? Stand the [expletive] back and get some goggles.
