Yeah, they must feel horrible with their measly 2 top-100 prospects when they could have Garza on their DL instead. Garza has been worth 5.9 wins since joining the Cubs and could have netted a haul in another trade if he didn't land up on the DL. Whether or not the Cubs decide to keep him, or flip him again this summer, I think it's safe to say, the Cubs easily won the trade. There's a pretty enormous difference between "won the trade" and "fleeced them so bad they never want to deal with the Cubs again." And that's not taking into account the future production of those prospects, or the fact that the Rays could easily trade two top-100 picks for something of value as well. And that they didn't have to pay Garza any money the last two years. The whole point of trading him in the first place was he was about to get expensive. They didn't want to spend $6m on him, which would have been like 15% of their payroll. The Cubs will have spent $26m on Garza by the time this season is over. Tampa didn't want to do that. -
I doubt we'd lose much. If the Cubs' value was contingent on them having a good team, it wouldn't be as high as it is (obviously). If you spend 5 years eroding your television ratings it is going to have an effect. The same way the Cubs value would have been effected if they never had 2003/2008 to show owners how much of a cash cow this team could be even with just a glimmer of hope.

Darwin you magnificent bastard.

It's not an either/or option. It's mostly bad timing (much like the TV situation); the city and the state have no money. They were never going to get anything. Right, but governmental insolvency was an issue prior to him purchasing the team.

Is Marmol pitching for them? This guy misses by feet at a time, then right down the middle.

He took way too long to make the decision about management and the team has gotten worse and worse under his ownership. Those are the things intelligent Cubs fans didn't want to see happen.

Every teams spends most of the dollars on expensive major league talent and comparatively little on the farm. The teams that consistently win consistently spend more on payroll than the others.

Paul Sullivan @PWSullivan 1h Field looks like it's in pretty good shape, all things considered. Thanks, Sodfather, for the patented drainage system.

It goes back to not having the balls and/or foresight to make the very easy decision to fire Hendry on day one. Put a competent management team into place from day one and this team isn't in this position today.

Oh shut the hell up. This person is awful.

The reason are that Stanton will cost more talent, while Price would cost more money. So a team like the Cubs, with lesser valued prospects to offer but plenty of cash to spend (if they want to) would be more in line for Price. Additionally, the Cubs prospects base is more position player heavy with no high end pitching, so their perceived need would also be in-line with the asset they appear to be more able to afford.
