Cubs add Chapman for Torres, et al. imb wishes we paid more

Some good tidbits here http://nypost.com/2016/07/26/the-deals-that-failed-before-cubs-yankees-trade-reality/ more at link -
I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread
UMFan83 replied to NOLA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
What an odd thing to say to begin with. His defense is propping him up and keeping him at least somewhat valuable despite his offensive ineptitude. Well that's the thing, the contract might be terrible but given his age he might very well maintain very good defense throughout the contract even if the bat inexplicably doesn't get better. If that's the case, we would definitely regret the deal but towards the end he will still have more value than Soriano whose bat dropped off and defense was never good to begin with. So I mean yes I'm frustrated with him big time, but I think the fact that he provides value in other ways, plus the fact that I wasn't expecting him to be a .900 OPS hitter, makes the sting a little less. -
I bet this is a cardinal fan passive aggressively trolling. Burn him!

Starlin also had an offseason where people kept mysteriously getting shot in his vicinity -
In that 15 inning game vs Cincinnati he went to Rondon in the 8th with a 1 run lead (he blew it) and he pitched the 9th as well
-
Lots to be disappointed with. jake starts laboring after 5 innings again, continued struggles with getting runners in scoring position home, struggles with making outs on the basepaths, questionable joe decisions, continued struggles of Heyward On the plus side some clutch hitting in the 9th, Rizzo still great, montero looking alive, Grimm and Edwards looked good, and Javy raking against RHP
-
Wonder what our ratio of walk off wins to walk of losses is Gotta be like 1:6
-
This game wasn't extra innings
-
34-33 in the last 67. That's 41% of the season. There is a much better team lurking, just Not sure when it's going to show up
-
Cubs are 1-5 in Jakes last 6 starts
-
You blow Montgomery
-
Which one are you referring to? lackey? Warren? oh Heyward
-
So when do we send Montgomery back to Seattle with Happ Almora and some guy we never heard of for King Felix?
-
Wait you just don't swing at bad pitches? My god I think you won baseball
-
Yeah so far the whole Montgomery vs LHB thing isn't working out too well
-
Ok now that you tied it you can absolutely not lose the game. Nothing worse than watching those fans celebrate.
-
horsefeathers you heyward Worthless sack of poo (Except in the field you coo)
-
Why the hell would you remove your best horsefeathering hitter right before extras when you are counting on a guy with a .630 OPS for the year and quite a bit worse against lefties? There is like a 10% chance Szczur for Rizzo matters eleven if Heyward gets a hit, and at best a 20% chance he even gets a hit.
-
I would except we already have to replace Bryant in the bottom of the inning (I'm almost 100% sure Joe takes him out)
-
Dammit should have had the 3-0 green light with Heyward on deck vs LH
-
God I just realized they are likely pitching around Contreras to get to Heyward. Who would have thunk we'd hear that this year?
-
Willy is due for a big hit
-
With a non-concussed Bryant still in the game
-
Ok Zob, hit one into the gap and let Rondon get his closer swan song
-
Rizzo does it again
