Cubs trade Vogelbach/Blackburn for Mike Montgomery/Jordan Pries

[davell]

Kurkjian just mentioned it on the broadcast......No names. Edited July 21, 2016 by davell

[David]

what the hell did he say then?

[Cubswin11]

WATCH FOR HUGS IN THE DUGOUT

[Ding Dong Johnson]

OH NO WILLSON CAME OUT OF THE GAME

[Ding Dong Johnson]

but really it's probably nobody for Steve Cishek or something

[davell]

what the hell did he say then?

 

He said something along the lines of Theo is working the phones as we speak I heard he's made a deal with Seattle earlier today, but I don't have names......

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I've seen talk about them dealing Cishek maybe.

 

I can't think of much else that makes sense.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

maybe theo was talking to eddie vedder because pearl jam

[Post Count Padder]

Would getting something like Mike Montgomery and Nate Karns make sense? A decent left and quality starter. Nothing that lights the world on fire but intriguing names that bolster the staff. Nothing to base this off of, just thinking aloud based on guys on their roster who fit our needs.

Temple of the Dog announced a 5 city tour tour today and Seattle is one of the cities.

targeting Montgomery & avoiding the Miller sweepstakes would be pretty cool

They're pretty light on outfielders too, especially those with any future prospects. Wonder if Szczur could be a possibility.

This rumor and speculation makes me realize i have no clue about the Mariners or any players on their team.

[Rob]

I saw somebody suggesting it might be as little as Boone Logan that we're after.

Rockies

[Ding Dong Johnson]

what is a boone logan? a friend of mine would like to know.

[davell]

 

Hmm, I'm not positive Jesse would consider anyone outside of Cano or Felix a big name for them.

He will be after Theo gets his Backtobanks on.

The Cameron article about the Cubs - Pomeranz stuff had this

 

The White Sox could sort of be a fit if they were still invested in going for it over the next few years, but the only guy they have who fits the bill is Carlos Rodon. Yeah, Pomeranz might be better than Rodon now, but how much better, realistically? Half a win over the rest of the season, maybe? A full win, if you’re really high on Pomeranz’s breakout? If the White Sox hadn’t fallen apart the last few months, maybe I could see them doing something like that, but they’re in 10th place in the AL at this point, so now would seemingly be a weird time to make a move like this.

 

The Mariners, with a guy like James Paxton? Ditto everything I just said about the White Sox, though it’s not hard to imagine that the Cubs would find it an intriguing idea to put Paxton and his new-found 100 mph fastball in the bullpen for the rest of the year.

That would be intriguing, maybe they see in him what they saw in Miller when they acquired him on the Red Sox
