Hey all! In lieu of our normal game thread, we're going to roll with this deadline thread. 

As a recap of what's already happened with the Cubs (will keep this updated throughout the day):

Cubs trade Christian Franklin and Ronny Cruz for Michael Soroka (Nationals)

Cubs trade Wilfri de la Cruz for Andrew Kittredge (Orioles)

That's two relievers down, starting pitching and a bat to go. What are you thinking with the deadline coming in at 5pm CST today?

Let's talk about something interesting. Up to this point do you think Tucker deserves 5-600 million to sign again? LOTS of soft flyballs and weak grounders going on there.

Does he deserve 500-600 Million?  Maybe not.  But someone is going to give it to him, and I want him on my team.

Kyle Tucker is the 9th best offensive player in baseball this year when you include baserunning and defense, the 10th best hitter by wOBA, and the 11th best hitter by xwOBA. He doesn't play a premium position but he's nowhere near at risk of having to move to DH soon. 

Over the last three years he's been the 7th best hitter and the 14th most valuable offensive player (while missing half of 2024) in terms of fWAR generated. He's not Judge, Witt, Soto, or Shohei, but he probably as much an argument as anybody else for the 5th spot after that. It's probably an overpay, but those type of deals mathematically are always going to be, and it's not my money, so why not.

If the Indians are tearing it up shipping Kwan out today, is Jose Ramirez available..........?

He has a NTC and signed a sweetheart deal to stay in Cleveland.

Yankees get Bednar. 

Really hope Jones is in that trade so Heyman's tweet looks stupid as hell.

Pirates probably gave them a discounted rate like normal.

I'd easily do the Guerrero deal for Tucker.  10 years 500 million.  That seems fair enough for both sides 

Isn’t Guerrero a longer deal? 10/$500 is high unless they have deferred money. I am thinking 12/$500M
