    Well, then [tweet] [/tweet]

    Chapman has already made a lot of money, close to 50 million if my understanding of his Reds deal is right. He could very well be okay with something approaching market value if he knows he's very likely to get multiple title shots. Also as a reliever you never want to turn away from a lot of guaranteed money, even if it is only a few months until free agency. We don't know his thinking. This is a guy who fired off a gun in his house and allegedly beat his girlfriend. So......

    There's no way Theo gives up Torres for 2 months of renting Chapman. There has to be an extension. Well you'd hope so
  4. Post Count Padder
    I am not going to be happy if we give up Torres and more for Chapman. Unless that more is like Dallas Beeler and we get Eovaldi in addition. Even then. Edit: Can get behind it a little more if it comes with an extension.
  5. Post Count Padder
    I don't like Chapman as a person, and I don't want to overpay for a rental. I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed if we get him based on what we'd surrender.

    Chris Sale, a cut above the rest http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/17135160/chris-sale-suspended-five-days-chicago-white-sox

    Do I get credit for half-calling this? I really dig this deal, though I think it's a fair trade for both teams. Really feels like Vogelbach and Blackburn were in the system forever and I kinda figured they'd both always be trade bait.
  8. Post Count Padder
    Liking this deal so far. I looked at the Mariners AAA pitching staff and it's a who's who of ex cubs lol. Casey Coleman, Blake Parker, Donn Roach, etc.
  9. Post Count Padder
    Would getting something like Mike Montgomery and Nate Karns make sense? A decent left and quality starter. Nothing that lights the world on fire but intriguing names that bolster the staff. Nothing to base this off of, just thinking aloud based on guys on their roster who fit our needs.

    Gets better for the Dodgers. Alex Wood out for the year.

    I'd love to have Miller but I don't know that I offer up more than something like Vogelbach and Candelario. That's a good haul for the Yanks, with young guys who'd probably be on the roster next year. As big a fit Miller is, I don't like the idea of parting with a king's ransom for a reliever. I honestly like the idea of Doolittle or Will Smith more.

    Pitched yesterday in AA, struck out 6 in 3 innings. I saw Brett also posted the club is stretching out Clayton Richard, because sure why not.

    In case you were wondering, Bryan LaHair is still an All-Star. http://www.si.com/mlb/2016/07/12/bryan-lahair-all-star-chicago-cubs
  15. Post Count Padder
    Will Smith from the Brewers could be a good option. Solid numbers and peripherals. Likely won't require the same package for Andrew Miller.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Here we are in July and his ERA is still in the 7's. I'm sure Miller will stabilize and return to respectability even if he doesn't pitch like he did last year (which wasn't even great, it 'pretty good'), but depending on how Swanson turns out this might be mentioned among the worst trades of all time when all is said and done. If you want to make it sound worse, consider the two trades between the two teams: Shelby Miller, Phil Gosselin, and some cash for getting rid of Bronson Arroyo's corpse for Swanson Aaron Blair Ender Inciarte Touki Toussaint

    Speaking of terrible, Jon Heyman's "8 Dream Trade Scenarios"! http://www.todaysknuckleball.com/inside-baseball-with-jon-heyman/dream-trade-scenarios/
  18. Post Count Padder
    Marlins are an odd team to deal with. I could see them not wanting to part with him bc he is still under team control. Also, we have a former Yankee starter-turned-reliever in Warren.
  19. Post Count Padder
    Cardinals will sign him up soon, I'm sure.
  20. Post Count Padder
    New update: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ClAuJQoXEAAmfSz.jpg:large Zobrist, Bryant, and Russell have strengthened their leads. Fowler and Rizzo pretty comfortably in the lead. It's a very real possibility we have 7+ All Stars (all five of those guys plus Arrieta, Lester and possibly Rondon, Lackey and/ Hammel. Oh and David Ross).
  21. Post Count Padder
    Darwin Barney currently has a higher bWAR than Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion.
  22. Post Count Padder
    FINALLY. Maybe he stays hurt or can't regain his form from the last couple years but this is still a good signing. Of course it comes after Richard goes two whole appearances without allowing a run.
  23. Post Count Padder
    He has a .406 OPS and 47 strikeouts in his last 98 at bats. :shock:
  24. Post Count Padder
    I just noticed Dillon Maples is still in the system. Where Chris Huseby at?
  25. Post Count Padder
    http://www.bleachernation.com/2016/06/13/cubs-claim-hard-throwing-righty-r-j-alvarez-off-of-waivers-from-as/ I recall him being an intriguing prospect pretty recently. Throws hard, strikes guys out. Could be a nice pen arm if he sticks.
