    And yes, Lukas Schiraldi is the son of Calvin.

    Where do you guys think Tseng fits in? He has looked pretty good this year and has pitched well (so far) as a 22 year old in AAA.

    David Phelps to the Mariners for 4 prospects. That's one Cubs target off the list. Also sounds like the the Astros are pushing hard for Sonny Gray. My hope is they include Jed Lowrie in the deal because he is only allowed to play for those two teams.

    The Orioles. Britton has one more year of control after this. Despite the forearm injury, the trade package is going to have to rival the Chapman trade for the Orioles to move him. Yeah, then I think we would be out. Wouldn't hurt to see what it costs. Would Brach be a better target if we're looking at pen arms or would he cost just as much? I know we've been mentioned with Brad Hand but the Padres are asking for an Andrew Miller return.

    Britton, Gausman, Joseph for Jeimer, Zagunis, Clifton and Caratini. Who says no?
  6. Post Count Padder
    Nats apparently still want Justin Wilson or another reliever on the market.

    I like Teheran as a decent, young and controllable starter who could be a good....number 3... starter. It really all depends on what Atlanta asks for. They are selling low on him but he does have the track record. Maybe we can trade Caratini back to them so we end up getting Teheran for James Russell and Bonifacio, lol.

    I like this trade the more I think about it. I'm over the initial shock. It's really a fair deal for both sides. The reports I'm seeing make it sound like his slow start was a bit of a fluke. Also it's pretty damn cool we have him for three more years. It's like he's on a 3 year 31 mil deal after this season. Pretty ridiculous for someone his caliber.

    I've been trying to guess what else is on the Cubs shopping list for this deadline, and what deals are still possible after flipping Eloy & Cease. Backup C? LHRP? Another starter, probably more in the Monty 2016 mold? All of the above? Still all for Gausman if you're talking about someone like Monty 2016. I mentioned in the Starting pitcher thread that Gausman and Caleb Joseph might be a good package, based on cost and our needs.

    Ervin Santana (who for some reason now follows me on Twitter) is a rental and playing for a team in a playoff hunt.
  12. Post Count Padder
    Looking at some options, now that we have Quintana, what would Gausman and Caleb Jospeh cost? Gausman can fill the Montgomery role and Joseph rates as a solid framer and has a decent bat.
  13. Post Count Padder
    I DO love though that we have Quintana through 2020, and the secondary pieces in the deal are basically roster filler. So we can still trade Jeimer and Zagunis and Almora/Happ for another piece before the deadline. What does this make our top 10 look like now?
  14. Post Count Padder
    Like, I love getting Quintana. I don't love giving up both Eloy and Cease. Wish we could have at least gotten a secondary piece.
  15. Post Count Padder
    What. The. F---.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Nope. Zero. Fanbase would lose their minds. He is their ace and they're probably losing Cueto after this season. Plus I'm not sure I'd give up what it would cost to get him. Probably all of Schwarber, Happ, Eloy, Cease, and more. But.....that said.....thoughts on seeing what the Mets want for deGrom?
  17. Post Count Padder
    I like Norris a lot. Fulmer too. But Fulmer would cost a ton. They have no incentive to trade him right now.
  18. Post Count Padder
    Julie DiCaro was tweeting a source said Cubs and Tigers have had some serious discussions on Verlander, FWIW. Just take him and Avila and Justin Wilson and give em Candelario and Caratini and Cease and whoever else.
  19. Post Count Padder
    But I thought he was a dick and everyone on the team hated him.
  20. Post Count Padder
    Cash? What position does he play? How green is he?
  21. Post Count Padder
    Anyone care what the return eventually is? Any interesting lottery ticket names in their system?
  22. Post Count Padder
    What would it take to get Folty and Susuki (plus a reliever maybe?) from Atlanta? I've liked Folty for some time and Suzuki has good defensive numbers, no? Plus he's not useless with a bat.
  23. Post Count Padder
    The Yankees have also seen Bird, Austin and Holliday hit the DL, with Gleybar done for the year and Headley and Carter underperform badly. I think they're looking for help at the corners. Not sure that means anything for us unless we can convince them to trade us Pineda for Candelario lol. What are the odds of: Seattle: Paxton or Miranda Philly: Pivetta, Eickhoff, Velesquez, Lively Thinking of guys under control who shouldn't cost as much. Still want to target a Shark or Gray but it wouldn't hurt to add one of these guys too.
  24. Post Count Padder
    I can''t believe I forgot about those. Ok, leave that trash out on the curb then. Still though, would think we'd be in the market for another catcher.
