Winter Meetings

A Muncy-Martinez right side of the infield would be something to take in

Especially if they do put in some kind of anti-shifting rules.

Also can be interpreted as "we know Muncy is a mirage so we're getting him a platoon partner and getting a real second baseman too"

I've always wondered how the winter meetings work. I've always imagined it is like a speed dating experience. Each GM sits down with another GMs for 5 minutes. "I'm looking for a left handed middle reliever." "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm more of an outfielder kind of team."

Did they know they could have gotten a much better deal than that on a gently used Tyler Chatwood?

My thinking as well and probably gotten at least like Zach Short out of it and maybe even a better prospect

[Cubswin11]

I don’t think they gave up anything special for him, but the Reds seem to really be trying to win this year. For some reason.

Huh, I wonder where former Cubs minor leaguer Josh Donaldson will sign

Deal? Theo; “You can just have Chatwood. Really! Merry Christmas!”

Loading up on tradeable assets for the deadline?

A’s are looking for a 2B. Zobrist makes sense if the Cubs want to do Machado + Harper* while still pinching pennies where they can

 

*Please!

 

I like how you found a way to use "Machado + Harper" and "pinching pennies" in the same sentence.

Seriously though, how does it count towards luxury tax numbers if the Cubs trade Chatwood and pay, say, half his salary?

Corbin got $150 million, McCutchen $50, and Lance Lynn $30. I'm finding a hard time buying in to collusion right now.

Atlanta like 2 weeks ago

[Cubswin11]

Familia back to Mets 3/30, Kelly to Dodgers 3/25. Let the RP run begin. Not interested in either of these guys at all, Familia has a DV record and Kelly is just right handed Justin Wilson. So glad they’re off the board and maybe takes 2 teams out of the market for the better RPs that we might be talking to.

Maybe it's just me, but that seems like a lot for Joe Kelly. I'm gonna assume the price on Robertson is gonna be too high then.
