So who is getting traded? Coghlan, Soler, or Baez?

[sneakypower]

bye Coghlan

[jersey cubs fan]

guys, coghlan was already traded

 

 

 

that was announced first, then this happened

[Tim]

So who is getting traded? Coghlan, Soler, or Baez?

Coghlan got traded to the A's for Aaron Brooks (the baseball player) about an hour ago.

Coghlan an hour ago

[Old Style]

Wow.

 

Rumor I heard is that Cogs has been traded to the A's for a RHP.

check your sources

Oops. Was so excited to check this thread that I didn't see the Cogs thread. :lol:

That's pretty horsefeathering WWE style.

[MWV]

Wait, What?

Do you mean to tell me that the Cubs 4th horsefeathering outfielder is DEXTER horsefeathering FOWLER?!

[JennieGarthAlgar]

We might over stimulate Maddon with all of the lineup possibilities.

[Clem Fandango]

I didn't even check the other threads, derp. saw this first, got in, got excited, didn't even leave the thread, lol.

$8mil base in 2016, $9mil base in 2017, $5mil buyout....WTF

[ctcf]

Craziest damn thing I've seen in a while. Absolutely wild.

 

Love the deal, too.

[Gilby]

I wonder if Heyward still plays center when they're both in the lineup. I'm thinking yes.

Does there need to be a trade? Between Soler days off, platooning a bit, Schwarber catching days, Heyward says off, etc., can Dexter get 500 PAs with the roster as is?

 

At glance, this seems like it just gives the team huge flexibility in the OF.

[SouthSideRyan]

Fannnnnnnntastic.

[OleMissCub]

So does this mean Schwarber catching a lot more or does it mean Soler is getting traded?

[Cubswin11]

Does this mean Schwarber will be catching more games next year? Kinda hard to imagine Fowler just being a bench player.

It's not that hard to get them all a good amount of playing time and being all near starters. Fowler is going to play everyday as at least a defensive replacement. I posted this in the original Fowler thread at the beginning of the offseason......

 

"There's roughly 1,944 PAs between the 3 OF spots for next year (4 PAs per game per 3 spots). Heyward at 600 drops it to 1,344, 500 for both Soler/Fowler drops it to 344, that means Schwarber catches about 35 games to get him to 500 PAs, which seems reasonable. There's also an additional 10 games in AL stadiums so DH adds about 40 PAs, if most of those are given to Schwarber/Soler that drops the games Schwarber needs to catch to about 25 games. It can be done fairly easily with those rough parameters."

[tfarks]

So does this mean Schwarber catching a lot more or does it mean Soler is getting traded?

 

The former, Soler isn't going anywhere.

[SouthSideRyan]

$8mil base in 2016, $9mil base in 2017, $5mil buyout....WTF

 

So that's basically 1/14. I can't think of many situations where Fowler is worth >4M to us and he fears he can't get a better deal.
