Update: Passan confirms trade done. Tucker to Cubs for Paredes, Cam Smith, Wesneski

Figured it was worth its own thread rather than discussing in the already over Winter Meetings thread.  If mods don't want it feel free to ignore and delete.

Do the Cubs make this trade if they don't have Shaw?

[Tryptamine]

This is going to completely crush my soul if Lucy pulls the football on this trade.

[Bertz]

Wonder how immediate the Yankee trade is.  We talking like the next hour or like tomorrow?

[Tryptamine]

Also, reading the tea leaves, I think it's clear the Cubs are very very high on Matt Shaw.

passan is just waiting to nail down the extension info before he drops his tweet

Shaw opening day starter at 3B?

And, if the trade should go down, I'm fully prepared for something so Cubs happening.  Such as Tucker gets off to the worst start of his career, slumping badly, while Paredes, Smith and, for good measure, Morel tear it up.

It is okay to enjoy things, sports can only hurt you if you let them

[Cuzi]

[We Got The Whole 9]

Wooooooo way to swing big, Jed.

[JBears79]

We have an elite bat. Finally! At least for next year

WTF HOYER HOW DO YOU GIVE UP TWO THIRD BASEMEN FOR A RENTAL??!!??!?!!? 

[Post Count Padder]

CRASH THE BOARD, CRASH THE BOARD, CRASH THE BOARD.

[Tryptamine]

So if they trade Bellinger+5M for Warren I believe that leaves them around 41M available with needs at 3B/SP/RP

[We Got The Whole 9]

Goddammit i am excited for this season.

Hey Brock what is the max amount of dumb 'this will never happen because Hoyer is a pussy' posts I can quote in a single post?
