I think in general folks in the media overcorrect in having too low a cost for rentals, but the Cubs aren't getting a Top 10 overall prospect hitting well in AA for Contreras, even with a quality player like Robertson thrown in. I also don't think the Cubs are really getting fleeced in that proposal, at least in terms of the general value. Vientos is the type of player(50-100 overall, high potential but clear flaws) who does make for a more reasonable match for a half season of Contreras plus a flyer on Smith's remaining potential, and Robertson bringing a Top 10ish and Top 20 prospect doesn't feel out of place even if I might prefer different specifics. They got PCA for Baez last year. If that's the case I hope they don't trade Willson.

6.8 I’m at this mofo and it’s storming

It's kind of pathetic that they are going to reschedule this game. -
Any trade that involves the Mets that doesn't include Álvarez is a non-starter.

David Ross sucks and GR was always right to hate him
CubinNY replied to soccer10k's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah I think coming into the year I'd have bought that it was 50/50ish whether Heyward or Ortega were better suited to that LH platoon OF role. Heyward appeared to be the better defender, and while he was a mess last year was very strong in a platoon role from '18 - '20. And with the mess that the 40 man was in due to all the injuries, as well as the 11 games in 9 days, I can buy why he actually made it off the IL. What I don't buy is why he's currently starting every day, or how/if he survives Seiya coming off the IL. Brett brought up the point of maybe out of respect they're giving him one final shot to turn it around? But again even doing as much mental gymnastics as possible it's essentially impossible to justify him making it to Monday. The Cubs are experiencing the sunk cost fallacy. -

Nelson Valasquez is murdering AAA pitching right now. There are probably multiple players in the minors who would produce at the same level as some of these dude. -
Ugly pitching
-
Morel half way to a cycle.
-
Or maybe a 16-1 game
-
Thompson not sharp tonight. 5-1 Birds
-
He’s 22. Nothing but good things to come. This might be one of those 16 to 12 games.
-
A lot of center cut pitches for KT in the 1st
-
Thompson gives up back to back dongs to start the game. The first on was on a good curve
-
Lead off dong for CM
-
Interesting point by Law

6/5 Cubs score first again

Bad team -
terrible
-
Heyward's number should be 64
-
That explains a lot. Good speed to health.
-
Nolan not having his best day
-
Boy the Cardinals won that trade Carson Kelly, Luke Weaver, and Andy Young.
-
Rivas has no plate discipline.
-
Patrick F Wisdom to you. 3 run HR for the Cubs.
-
Phillies Fire Girardi Them giving up on Gabe Kapler after 2 seasons of squeezing out a .500 record from a pretty bad roster looks increasingly dumb as the days go by. They didn't like Kapler because he did things based on data they didn't understand.

Eh, Gomes and Higgins gets you through this (lost) year...Gomes is a pretty safe bet to put up mediocre production next year if nothing else falls into your lap, so that gives you almost two years to sort it out. It's been a relative luxury having him, but a lot of contenders just plug in veterans at that spot. lol

if is a big word, sometimes.
