We are trading Jon Lester because we are drafting a pitcher!

[Sammy Sofa]

Do they say which team they think the NTC player is on?

 

Who on the Cubs that is a likely candidate for trading has a NTC?

I'm fairly certain Lester is the only Cub with a NTC

I'm going to guess we are getting the guy with the NTC (Hamels?) How many guys on the team even have a NTC? Lester and Montero?

I was obviously joking since I am fairly positive Lester is the only one with a NTC.

you have to assume the Cubs are trading for a veteran with a NTC, and not trading away their own veterans that have one (Lester?)

That's what I guessed, but I'm also not going to pretend like I have a clue who, if anyone, had a NTC on the Cubs. I was mainly thinking of how Shark had one (I think he did, right?), so I didn't know if there was still someone like that lurking.

Not Shark. Dempster.

I believe Shark had one on the original contract he signed post-draft. But I believe that expired as he went through his subsequent contracts as a player.

I don't think Hamels can block a trade to the Cubs

but someone does mention on Twitter that Papelbon might be able to...

Am I completely hallucinating NTC talk with Shark? Was one being offered/demanded in the extension rumors?

 

EDIT: OK, now I feel slightly less crazy.

something i somehow hadn't thought about at all was that if we get hamels we'll have both hammel and hamels in our rotation

 

is that weirder than two zimmermans on washington?

[Guest]

Yeah, I was thinking about when he got traded. I'm pretty sure he didn't have one at that point. He had one in his initial deal after the draft.

[Gilby]

Can't imagine it'd be Hamels since our biggest trade chip (not counting Schwarber whom I doubt would be available for Hamels) just got hurt (also taking away the possibility of Castro being traded right now). Papelbon would make sense, though.

[Guest]

I honestly might be happier to get Papelbon at the likely cost.

99% sure that is correct
