[Cubswin11]

I state again: trade them Theo.

[Post Count Padder]

What would that realistically take?

 

Schwarber/Happ/Amaya/Marquez?

Mookie is one year from free agency and will make upwards of 25 million in his last arb year.

I think something like Willy, Happ, Abbot/Swarmer type, and like Zack Short would be close to enough.

Way way too much. Machado got nowhere near that kind of package.

Machado was traded at the deadline and Mookie is fat and away better. I think to get him in the offseason it takes around that.

if he’s so fat at this young of an age I’d rather not give him a big contract

[Sammy Sofa]

Fat players are the new market inefficiency. You heard it here first.

Am I the only one who thinks the Cubs aren't going to make a strong effort to acquire elite talent this offseason?

The deadline tends to be inflationary in terms of trade value, and the only player above AA traded for Machado was roster fill Valera. Trading Contreras for Mookie is a complete non-starter, Schwarber basically the same, and Happ almost certainly a bad idea.

How close would he be to a straight up trade for KB?

Don’t know why we’d do that.

Alright great, then send them like Ademan and some prospects we don’t care about then.

The Red Sox want to compete next year despite cutting salary. They're not doing a rebuild like Baltimore and are going to be more interested in MLB/high minors pieces than maybe higher upside but farther away prospects.

 

Contreras/Schwarber as a main piece for Betts is a good starting point.

 

A. Who knows what value Contreras really has. Yes he's put up good numbers, but he's also been inconsistent

B. The Red Sox have a catcher who put up good value, albeit defensively.

C. Schwarber may be a better match because of that, but if you feel like his recent success is a break out, and not a fluke, I wouldn't want to move him for a guy who's only under contract for 1 year.

Now why ever would you think that our ownership group wouldn't try to acquire elite talent when it became available?

[Derwood]

Ricketts will acquire Mookie Blaylock for league minimum

[Sosa21MVP]

What about Mookie WIlson?

[Cubswin11]

It’s a Barstool douche but Interesting nonetheless

 

[PackLandVA]

Mookie Blaylock?

 

Mookie Wilson??

 

 

[We Got The Whole 9]

I remember that one day when Betts declared that he wanted to go by his birth name henceforth

[Old Style]

Ricketts will acquire Mookie Blaylock for league minimum

[jersey cubs fan]

Ricketts will acquire Mookie Blaylock for league minimum

I'd take Mookie Blaiklock
