That's almost hilariously delusional. If they don't want to trade him just say so and be honest.
-
So much for hoping that come back win against the Nationals was going to be the spark to get things rolling.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 6-30-17
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I don't think so. Those 2 both belong in the top 10 hitters in the minors with other guys like Kyle Tucker,Rodgers,Juan Soto,Eloy, etc. -
Fedde and Kieboom would be a nice haul.
-
That Yadier Molina extension still absolutely blows my mind. You have the #1 catching prospect in the game in your organization, he's basically MLB ready, but instead you give your nearly 35 year old catcher a 3/60 extension. I also enjoy their absolute refusal to use someone who is actually capable of playing SS.
-
The Mets seem like they can just create good pitching prospect after good pitching prospect. Give me Jordan Humphreys please.
-
It's getting frustrating. Every time I start to think they're gonna have a nice long run in them they have a game like this and undo all the positives vibes that were building up.
-
I wonder if Jake is still going to foolishly pursue 7/200 or if his 3/4 of a year being not so good would scare him into accepting a much more realistic 4/90 or 5/115 deal.

The sad part is Baltimore has absolutely nothing in the minors for pitching. Hunter Harvey who hasn't even totaled 5IP in the last couple years is still very likely their #1 pitching prospect and Cody Sedlock, their 1st rounder from last year, is not exactly thriving at A+. If they chose to keep Machado through 2018 that is going to be one hell of a long rebuild for Baltimore.

I know it would make sense to trade him for Chris Archer, but I think I'd get sick anyways. -
Not ranked by MLB.com. I'll take it! Yeah I like the write up quite a bit, the only thing he lacks is patience and that seems to be one of the stronger points of the Cub farm's teachings.
-
Maybe I'm seeing something where there is nothing, but Theoyer is making it seem they're pretty desperate to get some quick moving arms into the system. Does this mean they're not going to be in on the FA pitchers this year and next?
-
Anyone heard anything about Tristan Beck? Unlike Allen, the announcers haven't even brought up his name at any point.
-
Underslot?
-
I don't have any inside info, but they both went approximately where they were supposed to so I'd think slot would be reasonable on both.
-
God damn it Houck and Romero gone.
-
Damn you Boston.
-
Zero interest. If his swing and miss issues are that bad in college, god help him as he advances in the minors.
-
I have this super unrealistic dream that Peterson somehow slides to us at 27.
-
Bukauskas and Faedo starting to fall a little.
-
Milwuakee really continues to impress me. Hiura is a hell of a good pick.
-
Going to be surprised if Oakland isn't in on Hiura or Bukauskas.
-
Anyone got the stream to work yet? I keep getting the same 30 second intromercial and predraft coverage was supposed to start 20minutes ago.

2017 Draft Thread
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I feel Varsho would be like Delta House accepting Flounder because he was legacy. Yeah, I mean even his upside doesn't sound great. Jason Kendall without the ability to hit for average. The rest of the draft would have to be pretty amazing to make up for that pick. -
2017 Draft Thread
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Rooker seems to be widely considered a second round talent so it does seem like they're sacrificing some talent picking him at 27/30. Isn't Rooker only a 2nd round talent based on age though? It's not a limitation of any of his tools or production. I'm willing to gamble on that.
