    They turned down Norris,Hoffman and Pompey already.

    Still can't believe Amaro couldn't get a deal done before the Tigers put Price on the market. Way to devalue your return by indecision.

    That's what I hate most about it. People excuse it because, 'hey, you tried', when in fact you ran yourself out of an opportunity. But where I disagree is that you are coming at it from the perspective that it fails every single time when it fact it works out more than it doesn't. It needs to work out far more than it doesn't to justify it. Isn't it generally accepted that you have to successfully steal like 75-80% of the time for it to even be a neutral effect on your offense? I believe that number is significantly lower in today's run enivronment, something like 66%.

    Always amazed by how slow Fowler is.

    We have the money next year and the relationship with Maddon. That would make my day. That's a pretty huge assumption. There's no doubt they have it. It's whether or not the powers that be want to spend it. I'll admit I'm not that informed about the restrictions as a result of Zell selling the team, but I was under the impression that they couldn't approach 130-140M as a payroll until like 2018/2019 when the restrictions were removed.

    Without an extension I can't imagine they're realistically in on Price.

    With every passing day I think more and more that trading Baez is going to be a disaster. His swing right now is so much likely to produce results. Even without the leg kick he destroyed both of those balls last night.
  9. Tryptamine
    Perhaps, maybe just perhaps, the Cubs should use Wada who has proven to be a solid 5th starter in his roughly half season of starts.
  10. Tryptamine
    I'm expecting perhaps a non closer reliever and Will Venable type move. So, not literally nothing, but pretty close.

    That's a delightful knee-jerk reaction. Not really. The Cubs don't match up on Hamels and Price isn't on the market. They have said they aren't interested in rentals i.e Samardzija,Kennedy etc. Various reports say they're not in on Shields. The only person they're even being tied to is Tyson Ross.
  12. Tryptamine
    I'm curious to know what the reaction will be around here if the Cubs do absolutely nothing. I'm starting to think that's the most likely scenario.
  13. Tryptamine
    I can't believe they got Manea for 3 months of Zobrist, craziness.
  14. Tryptamine
    Well, time to get used to scoring 3 runs a game the rest of the year.
  15. Tryptamine
    Ross, but look what has happened to Garza since his breakout season where he went breaking ball crazy. When he's not injured, he's simply terrible.
  16. Tryptamine
    I think you're gonna need 2 of Torres/McKinney/Zagunis in any deal for Ross and then probably also include 1 or 2 of the pitchers (Underwood/CJ/PJ/Tseng, etc) I don't see how you can justify that kind of package an arm that throws sliders 46.2% of the time. There's just too much risk involved.
  17. Tryptamine
    DeLeon is like a top 30 prospect in the game at this point. Verdugo is highly regarded and Jharel Cotton is about to explode up prospect boards. After that you have decent guys like Chris Anderson and Darnell Sweeney who may be interesting 3rd or 4th pieces.
  18. Tryptamine
    If they can't score on the Rockies then it's time to pretend it's October and just focus on football.
  19. Tryptamine
    Finnegan was well thought of coming into the season. Feels like Lamb has been around forever. Arm injuries, but supposedly his velocity and stuff is back.
  20. Tryptamine
    If they're not going to bother doing something about this offense then they should at very least see what the market for Coghlan,Fowler and maybe Hammel is.
  21. Tryptamine
    Cubs can't score runs so let's leave Schwarber on the bench yet again. Brilliant.
  22. Tryptamine
    A guy who works for BA and frequents OH, is claiming the Dodgers have a done deal for a pitcher and the announcement is coming in the next 24 hours. No details beyond that. I can't imagine it would be Price already.
  23. Tryptamine
    Congrats Cubs, you basically had to try and lose this game and you managed to pull it out.
  24. Tryptamine
    This [expletive] team. Just awful.
  25. Tryptamine
    Tillman isn't good and has not been good. He gets completely carried by Baltimore's elite defense. 4.25,4.42,4.01 and 4.13FIPs the last 4 years.
