2022 Trade Deadline

[Transmogrified Tiger]

 

The baseball world as each additional detail comes out about the deal

 

Honestly the Hosmer thing is the only part that has me at all fazed. There's a lot of people yelling 'that's it??' who are not thinking very hard about the actual value Soto is going to put up(thanks to his position/defense) and I'm also wondering where else you're gonna find a willing partner to give up as much pedigree and production as what is in that deal.

Same here, I was in the "that seems reasonable" camp until hearing about Hosmer and his negative value.

I remember Len & JD debating whether Acuna, Tatis or Soto will have the best overall career. Now Preller just needs to trade for Acuna to have all three!

[JeffH]

Silly question. Why would Hosmer approve the trade unless he was getting something out of it?

Hopefully Fred McGriff will lift his No Trade Clause and come to Chicago

Haha….I remember those days

Seems like he might get something out of it:

 

 

In other situations in the past, the promise of playing time has been a motivator and would apply here.

Jed needs to be on the phone to make this work. Preller is over a barrel right now and the Cubs can fix it for him.

 

I want Eguy Rosario + Morejon. Eguy could step in as a starter at 3B or 2B next year and Morejon is a really nice flier to take if he can ever stay healthy.

It’s going to be hilarious when the Padres lose in the first round.

...and then dominate the west for the foreseeable future

Nobody is going to "dominate" the Dodgers. The Padres are going to be a really fun team if Tatis can stay on the field, though.

Not sure why we'd have to give the Nats anything. This is assuming that Hosmer says no to the trade.

Trade deadline day was more fun when we were actually involved.

I thought you were suggesting the cubs throw in a player to the nats making the Soto deal a 3-way trade, thus receiving those prospects from SD

eh,,,that SD lineup could take the west despite the Dodgers

[sneakypower]

the Soto trade honestly feels like a HR for both sides, pretty cool

[Tryptamine]

 

Staumont would be a good target for the Cubs, big velocity and breaking stuff

 

Love Staumont and would happily pick him up.

[Post Count Padder]

This is the most power Hosmer has had all season.

The Juan Soto deal is done with the #Padres, and does NOT include Eric Hosmer.

The Mets can be as interested as they want, but it doesn't matter if they're prospect hugging.
