[David]

hmmm

 

 

what the what

[We Got The Whole 9]

Yeah good luck with Anderson and Santos ya dummies

[weis21]

[DouglasDorsey]

I like it. We get a good reliever and backup C and it keeps Wilson from going to another contender..

[OleMissCub]

So we got to keep Candy?

I like it. We get a good reliever and backup C and it keeps Wilson from going to another contender..

 

And we get Wilson for next year, with Davis and Uehara free agents.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

No, it sounds like it's Candelario, Paredes and possibly a PTBNL/cash.

Good point. I hope we make a run at Davis but it's good to have his replacement if we don't.

Well what's that fangraphs chart all about?

Neither of those guys are Cubs prospects. Fangraphs fucked up.

haha omc thinks it's anderson and santos

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm glad we managed to cash in Candelerio for something. I know Paredes was one of the last things resembling a prospect in our once mighty farm system, but having a depleted farm system is a lot easier to swallow when you have a big league team like ours.

What would a deal for Verlander look like now?

 

It would start with Schwarber.

[Neuby]

I'm not going to be bored until the deadline. Theo's done some early shopping and filled two needs for next year cheaply $$$ with Q/ Wilson. He's got some bullets left and plenty of $$$ to pull something else off.

you are so consistent, year in and year out

[TruffleShuffle]

wilson and avila for paredas and candelario?

 

[DouglasDorsey]

wilson and avila for paredas and candelario?

 

 

It appears so. + ptnbl or cash

[DouglasDorsey]

I wonder if this is the first time a GM has traded his son?

[Agony and Ivy]

What would a deal for Verlander look like now?

 

It would start with Schwarber.

 

If the Tigers won't eat a significant amount of money it starts with a bag of baseballs not Kyle Schwarber.

Sucks for Avila. Going from a starting catcher to a backup

 

Counterpoint: He's got a chance to win a ring.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We're gonna win the division by 10 games, aren't we?

Also if we get a cushion it wold be nice to get Willy extra rest down the stretch, as this is his first full season and he's been playing a lot more than is probably ideal since Montero was jettisoned.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

We're gonna win the division by 10 games, aren't we?

 

Even before this trade, I was envisioning 12 games (94 wins with the Cardinals or Pirates at 82).

[Bote McBoteface]

Does Zagunis/Duensing/Grimm/lottery ticket not get us Verlander if we pay the salary and clear all the roster space we need once we send Tiny Carrot down?

 

Edit: eh, maybe not. But if you add Caratini to the deal instead of the lottery ticket, maybe.
