6.26 Mills is dreck

[CubinNY]

4-0 cards in the 3rd. Mills suck ass.

[d_money]

Mills is done for today. He won’t be on the team next year.

[CubinNY]

Ortega is hot. He’s the perfect role type player on a good team.

[CubinNY]

Lol, Contreras single ties the game at five. Plucky Cubs.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

5 balls 1 strike was enough for this ump the strike Rivas out.

[CubinNY]

Did Madrigal die?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Did Madrigal die?

 

He's on the IL with a groin injury.

[CubinNY]

I’m pretty sure the Cardinals have used every pitcher in their bullpen

[CubinNY]

What a victory!

[UMFan83]

The Cubs suck but I'll always be happy with winning a series St. Louis

 

Also the Cubs are going to be spectacularly terrible when Contreras is gone.

David Robertson topped 95 MPH four time today, which for him is some extreme gas. He's gonna bring back an absolute haul at the deadline

I am but a simple caveman lawyer. When you say “haul”, do you mean like better than any of our deadline deals last year?

He only has three years left of team control, better trade home before he hits free agency.

I'd guess not quite that much, but fairly close.

 

It's hard to say exactly how much he's worth, since I don't think there's been a reliever as good as Robertson traded with only half a season of team control since we acquired Chapman. That deal's not a good comp for about a thousand reasons. The Yankees gave up three of their top 30 prospects for a still good but exiting his prime Zach Britton, and that feels like the lower end of what we should expect?

 

I'd guess Robertson if he keeps it brings back an org top 10 guy and an org top 30 guy. And if he gets packaged with Contreras we get back back an overall industry top 50 guy.

[Andy]

The Nico and Happ plays to rob Goldschmidt were both all kinds of awesome.

This made me curious, it looks like using Fangraphs' evals that the lead prospect would be around a 45 FV, here's what a list of those look like from teams that may be buying: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2022-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&team=tor,atl,bos,chw,phi,min,nym,sdp&filter=scoutgrade%7Cf%7CFV%7Ceq%7C45%7C45&pageitems=200&pg=0

 

Some interesting names, especially for potential short term impact. Groshans, Steer, O'Hoppe, Muller, Walter, and Woods-Richardson caught my eye in particular.

Yeah my intention was to say a 45 and a 40FV, but since we aren't in the MiLB forum I didn't use that jargon. But KB and Rizzo each brought back two 45s (FG technically had Alcantara as a 50 already but I think general consensus was more like a 45), and Javy brought back one. And that aforementioned Britton trade was for 3 40s.

 

I'd also add the Yankees as a suitor, and honestly they might pay a premium because they already know Robertson isn't one of those guys who will turn into a pumpkin under the bright lights of NYC.

Would the Dodgers be a suitor for Robertson given the bullpen issues they've had?

Blue Jays are desperate for Bullpen arms, LH hitting, SPing - Robertson + Ortega? Robertson + Happ? Robertson + Heyward? Is Hendricks available - would anybody care?

No one is taking Hewyard unless the Cubs pay his salary. And he now has a bad knee.

That's why he was in small font - it was a joke.
