  1. I think the Ballesteros thing is mostly, "We're not including him in this package" more than he isn't available
  2. ooof, I would hate to trade Horton, but if that's what it takes I think you have to take the chance on the proven guy... flags fly forever, and this team is good enough to get one if they get Gore and the bats stop slumping (and stay healthy...)
  3. Gore would be worth giving up Caissie and Wiggins, and then there would be more to give on top of that, which is ok. The best part about getting Gore would be that Tom isn't here to brag about him being his guy
  4. Wouldn't mind the Cubs getting in on Suarez... Cease would be even better
  5. See you later. Gavin Hollowell. Ben Kriske, Ethan Roberts, etc.
  6. Really hope we get Willi Castro now... need a bench bat worth something.
  7. I wish we could have kept Franklin... liked him, but he's definitely expendable
  8. My guess is that Caissie and Alcantara are being discussed in deals more than Mo, and the Cubs may just believe more in Mo's ability to hit at the ML level right now
  9. At this point, I feel like a trade has to be made just to shake something up in that clubhouse
  10. I'd love to have Laureano or Bader to give Happ and PCA cover against tough lefties. Not that they have to sit against every one of them, but give them a day off here and there.
  11. not that I think he's saying sources are telling him this, but Cerami has some good sources and I wonder if he's basing this guess after what he's heard about their aggressiveness. This would require a good amount of prospects being moved, I thinkq
  12. The cost is always the thing, right? So if it's like Carter Trice or Connor Norland (pulling names out of the back end of a potential top 30) you probably do it. If they want someone like Christian Hernandez or Birdsell I probably wouldn't because ideally Hauser doesn't even make your NLDS roster (thinking Shota, Boyd, starter traded for and Taillon get starts and we have a pen with better stuff than Hauser)
  13. If we're looking at a B minimum, I'd say Merrill Kelly. For it to reach an A, I'd want a starter we can hand the ball to in game 2 in October and who we'd have for at least 2026
  14. At The Athletic, Bowden proposed Cam Collier AND Chase Petty and another pitcher for Suarez... how does this guy keep getting a platform?
  15. Interesting the Yankees got McMahon. Assume this takes them out on Suarez?
