Regular Season Rumors

[Cubswin11]

makes me wonder if it's Brach, who I'm decidedly lukewarm on. I think he got over-used the last few years and isn't nearly the same guy he once was.

He got traded to the Braves today

Greg Holland

Chris Tillman

Enny Romero

Tim Federowicz

 

New Iowa shuttle candiates hitting the free agent wire this week.

 

I'd put a big heck no on Holland/Tillman. Tillman is done, IMO, as a starter. Maybe he can find something in the pen ... maybe.

DeGrom is the only guy out there I’d include Happ for, I think, I’m definitely not trading him for Archer and Stroman I go back and forth on.

 

 

My hunch is that it is Stroman and would take something like Happ, Monty and 2 not great prospects.

Saw we might be snagging Chad Hermansen from the Pirates in exchange for Darren Lewis.

Stroman is a big injury risk.

Alos, that sounds suspiciously like a Heyman CYA tweet. I bet the Cubs and several other teams are in the same demographic.

Yeah, this feels like one of those instances in which he was talking to somebody in the industry who brought this up, and although he can't write a story on it because there just isn't enough there, he wants to put it out there just in case it happens so it can be shown he was on top of things.

 

Which is fine.

I'd rather keep Happ unless Chatwood is going back too and they're picking up his contact, which would never happen. I hope the Minor Leaguers are fringy types...

[CubinNY]

That Rosenthal tweet is a fake.

 

Everyone can breathe a little easier now.

It's a fake Rosenthal so no trade for Archer.

Yeah, I was definitely slow on the draw on that one.

Hmmmmm

Remember when people wanted Wisler?

 

The Braves have acquired outfielder Adam Duvall from the Reds in exchange for a trio of players, all of whom have MLB experience. Cincinnati receives righties Lucas Sims and Matt Wisler along with outfielder Preston Tucker.

 

In other news, the Yanks traded Tyler Austin for Lance Lynn and the Red Sox got Ian Kinsler.

Kinsler and Pedroia don't get along, from their year together at ASU. This could be fun.
