I was worried it was PTBNL. Dude needs a break. 

I miss those old PTBNL deals.

Damn the cost on Kelly was kind of the Cub equivalent of Gallagher+Birdsell, maybe even a touch more.

The “oh-em-gee do something mob” relax now.

20 minutes and Alcantara and Cabrera are still out there.  Race to the finish...

Haha, not this time...I don't have the names but do think maybe it's steeper than people will expect.

[ToolDRT]

Really need a starter here.

Did not see Bratt in there too, ok that's quite a bit for a rental.

Feel like they would have worked something out when they got Castro if the Cubs were in it but maybe not:

horsefeathers yeah. Gonna hurt but I believe they badly needed 1 versatile bat who mashes LHP.

 

Even career splits.

I'd still be interested in Gallen. He should be a little cheaper right?

Jed said he didn't want to give up his better ones so he just gave up prospects 😂😅

Not sure what to think now. The prices have been a good bit higher than they've been in recent years.

What's the October bench at the moment. Castro, Amaya/Kelly....Ballesteros and Turner?

These feels right, but it does seem a little light on speed on the basepaths.

Does Berti survive the deadline with Mo going to Iowa to make room for Castro? And then McGuire goes for Amaya when he’s ready?

[UMFan83]

James Triantos was a late scratch I think....Castro return or something else?

James Triantos scratched. He's probably headed to Twins

This is part of why Castro was a big get, what he does to lefties

Sample size tho

[We Got The Whole 9]

Pedro Ramirez maybe with a guy like Noland or Kipp?
