No everyone hates him and he's an awful teammate.

Not sure why there needs to be a meet and greet this late in the process but OK.

Machado to be a Father (10/$300m)
Post Count Padder replied to Rex Buckingham's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The Cubs did in signing Lester (A), Heyward (D) and Darvish (Incomplete). And the latter two signings may have contributed, if even slightly, to the hesitancy to drop much more coin on a much better player. Also signing Fowler under the radar and bringing him to ST was pretty badass. -

Badass move by the Padres. That division shouldn't be hard to grab hold of and they also have some solid prospects near the majors. -
This is incredible
-
Barnette's contract is for just $750,000 this season. $3 mil club option next season.
-
How far the mighty have fallen Also the Giants found their veteran outfielder:
-
He's posted decent numbers. Not a bad low-cost signing. Since that's all we're allowed to have. Does this mean we can just DFA Kintzler? He's worse than Barnette and Brach and half the guys on the Iowa shuttle.
-
Yeah the Giants have had a laughably bad outfield for a couple years now. Last offseason they finally tried to address it by trading for McCutchen. That's about all they've done. They gave 800 PA to Gorkys Hernandez the last two years.

Zobrist for Honeywell would be... .... ...... ......... ...pretty sweet.
-
RIP, sweet prince Is he actually dead or do we think he is
-
According to Peter Gammons, we hired Aaron Sele for something. Never forget he received Hall of Fame votes.
-
I hope we don't see Tazawa this season, for us at least. But with that signing we now have like 28 guys on the Iowa shuttle: I assume we'll have a few trades in March. This table taken from Cubsprospects on Twitter

I like Hedges. Would love to get more than that for Bote though, even if we are dumping Duensing. I still feel like there's a way to deal Duensing/Kintzler and Chatwood to someone like the Marlins or Royals or Mariners, teams in a rebuild who can take on a contract like that and buy low.

Not Earth shattering but I like it. He's been decent for a few years now. It's a relatively small contract. Sure.
-
We did a thing. Rosenthal says we signed Brad Brach.
-
If we could sign Oliver Perez to a cheap one year deal and jettison Duensing into the sun, I'd be very happy.
-
True. I'm expecting a handful of starts from that group. Maybe Rucker or Robinson or Clifton if they progress. We also have Corey Black making his way back from TJS. Always liked him. Hope he gets to make his debut at some point.

Minor League Musings
Post Count Padder replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
That's really cool about Hagerty. I remember that draft well. We had 4 first rounders and none of them made it to the majors. Cubs apparently sent some scouts to watch that workout. Side note: One of the other three, Bobby Brownlie, is now an area scout in PA/NJ. A friend of mine's brother in law is a Rockies scout and he was hanging out with Brownlie during a few games in the area this season. -
It's official now. Before it was just a "could happen" report. Also:
-
We signed Colin Rea. Minor league deal.
-
Drew Pomeranz signed with the Giants for just $1.5 million.
-
Trout is a HUGE Phillies and Philly sports team fan. If they have the money, he's going there.
