Aces!!!
-
Not that he cares, I still, nevertheless, hope the Chicago media crucifies Jed he wholeheartedly deserves it.
-
Okay, Jed sucks, are you good what that?
-
Does this mean at least one more bullpen game or Brown start? Along with multiple Rea starts, great.
-
Who couldn't see this coming? Jed is a super conservative small market minded GM, there's no way in hell he was going to tear into his prospect capital.
-
To be replaced by a different name doing the same things, really, what's the point?
-
I mean, you're not looking forward to Cassie striking out for 3+ months in 2026? Come on... On Tucker, if he doesn't go a on massive heater in the remaining 54 games, will he be able to command long term big money? His numbers right now are good but, they're not that good.
-
I was question about my lack of confidence in Jed to make an honest attempt at improving the Cubs. Here's example #1 as to why.
-
Exactly, I'm certain we'll hear several attempts at rationalization by Jed.
-
Just don't understand the apparent lack of a move for another SP, I like Soroka. But, the Cubs really needed to get away from bullpen/Brown days by adding a SP. Wasn't their record pretty bad in bullpen/Brown games?
-
I think we have to accept the very real possibility that Jed is done, excuse #1 will be something along the lines of with Jameson and Javier coming back we felt it wasn't necessary to be aggressive. Look on the bright Cubs kept all of their top prospects and we'll get to watch Cassie strike out for 3+ months after Jed doesn't sign Tucker.
-
Don't forget Cy Priester.
-
I don't know why, at the very least, Willi Castro can't happen.
-
6 is a hard deadline?
-
So Jed has until 4PM ET today? Is there a small buffer after 4 or is it hard deadline?
-
Wouldn't that be <insert unknown Astros reliever with fading stuff here>?
-
Does this acquisition signal the end for Pressly?
-
I'd do as well. Duran could have really help towards an almost shut down bullpen, get to 7th with a lead. Then Keller, Palencia, Duran gives you a real good chance.
-
I think Luzardo and Bregman both could have been shots to significantly improve the Cubs and Jed didn't even come close. The prospect capital the Phillies ended up paying wasn't exactly a haul. The Cubs could have offered what it would took to sign Bregman but Jed struck out again.
-
Yes, as I said before just frustrated. I think you can understand my lack of confidence that Jed will do what it takes to significantly improve the Cubs this year.
-
I wonder what'll be the plan if they can't?
-
Have to wait for all the quality players to be off the board so Jed can do his bargain bin shopping.

7/30 - Cubs Trade Deadline Rumors & Discussion
gflore34 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow, all the big rentals will be off the board by then, can you say Adrian Houser, some nondescript reliever plus a Brujan+ type utility player? -
To minimize PCA's season, which is thus far, setting at an NL leading 6.3 WAR, and prop up Vaughn sporting a career WAR of 0.2 is something.
-
Guess which team leads all of baseball in road wins? Hint it's not the Brewers.
