    It's a question of priorities, at the time did it make more sense to empty the org of its trade assets and some payroll flexibility to get Yelich when the team had plenty of offense even when you don't count on the outfielders(Bryant, Rizzo, Contreras, Baez, Zobrist)? Or did it make more sense to focus on replacing Arrieta, Lackey, and Davis from the pitching staff where the incumbents were much less strong? I get the idea around trading Yelich(again, I voted for it), but the idea that the alternative was inexcusable is revisionist history. We also don’t know what the ask was, it’s entirely possible there just wasn’t really a fit or the ask was like Javy, Happ or Willy and other stuff (which I can understand not doing that). Yeah, and I also think Lewis Brinson was more highly regraded than the Happs of the world and would have taken more of the Javy types.

    I'm sure it was a priority for them. But the likelihood of finding someone willing to absorb a 5/$106m contract for a guy who can't hit and whose value is tied to skills that are likely to decline with age is not great. They might have been able to get some team to take him but they'd probably be absorbing a contract almost as bad to do so, and Heyward probably has more value in 2019 than whatever garbage they'd get in return. I'd have liked to have had them take on about $70 million of the contract and see if a team would have taken him for 5/36. Great guy, but he's a pitcher at the plate and it just doesn't play well enough.

    "Guys, I'm retiring!" This is good work right here.
  4. Bryants Disco Ball
    Holy horsefeathers, that reads like a Ding Dong stat.
  5. Bryants Disco Ball
    horsefeathers. David Stearns really is better than Theo, isn't he?
  6. Bryants Disco Ball
    Everything would be fine if they could beat the Braves tomorrow and sweep the Brewers.
  7. Bryants Disco Ball
    I started watching Shawshank when we went up 3-2. That said, it's still just as horsefeathering annoying even if I didn't see it.
  8. Bryants Disco Ball
    Kind of weird to keep the platoon OF over Bryant and Rizzo, but whatever It's all about the return. I think Schwarbs can still be a 40 dong dude and he won't fetch that much right now.
  9. Bryants Disco Ball
    What in the horsefeathering world. I actually thought this might slip by. But.....I would be willing to listen about anyone right now. We suck, and it's sort of been this way since July.

    Also, now that everyone is negative and hot takes don't get noticed much, I want to say that if I'm an opposing fan, I don't even think I'm that scared when KB comes up. Not that I wouldn't think he might get a hit, but I think Rizzo would scare me a hell of a lot more. KB just doesn't seem that scary.
  11. Bryants Disco Ball
    I say keep Baez and Schwarbs and put everyone else on the block.
  12. Bryants Disco Ball
    I meant recently as in the last couple of years. Well the “Theo Era” spans more than that. It does. That was unfair to expect you to know the Theo era meant just the last few years.
  13. Bryants Disco Ball
    then everyone sucks their dick like it’s some great accomplishment to not try for five years and then be good The first one was fine. There was never supposed to be a second one. This thing went off the rails so damn quickly. Would not have guessed in November 2016 that we'd be here.

    I realize standings don't matter after 10 days, but when we are six games out after 10 games and we aren't very good........that's going to matter.
  15. Bryants Disco Ball
    Carl Crawford-like A fun game would be to find the Cubs equivalent of all Theo’s Red Sox moves I don't think he's made a good, significant free agent signing since Ben Zorbist on Dec. 8, 2015. It all started with Jason Heyward the next week.
  16. Bryants Disco Ball
    ....for us to allow more runs and not score any.
  17. Bryants Disco Ball
    So............was our offense just good because it was the Rangers? Or will Javy dong?
  18. Bryants Disco Ball
    If they are close to a wild card spot at the deadline, I say they will trade for some veteran and bench him.
  19. Bryants Disco Ball
    Well, the time has come to use Heyward as a defensive replacement for the next two seasons and then designate him for assignment after that.
  20. Bryants Disco Ball
    There has to be a better way for him to tweet that info.
  21. Bryants Disco Ball
    Technically, they also will have Alex Wood at some point. At least for the 10 starts he's healthy.
  22. Bryants Disco Ball
    I will tell you what bothers me in this Other Games Thread. It's that the Brewers don't give up any runs when I was told they would give up a lot of runs.
  23. Bryants Disco Ball
    I dislike the Brewers, but nothing can surpass my hatred for the Cardinals. Just a location thing, I feel.
  24. Bryants Disco Ball
    It's therapeutic for me that Cubswin11 shares my pain about the Brewers. Many of you don't care, but it's nice to know I'm not alone. horsefeathers the Brewers.
  25. Bryants Disco Ball
    TT promised a lot of runs allowed by the Brewers. It's time for that to start happening. Let's do this.
