Jim Bowden: Can Jaxon Wiggins Land The Cubs Eugenio Suarez?
UMFan83 replied to Brian Kelder's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think his price is going to be high due to the number of teams looking for an IF bat and the ridiculous season he's having. He's gonna fetch a price higher than your average rental IMO. Does that mean the Cubs should be out? Maybe. But the thought of adding a power righty bat is so tantalizing. Not our biggest need, not our second biggest need, but given how lefty dominant our best bats are, the fact that 2 of them are significantly worse against lefties, our poor bench options, etc. I don't think the Cubs are wrong to be looking at Suarez. I would just have a line that you don't cross if other teams go higher, especially if those resources are also needed for a pitching trade. -
Now the Brewers are a favorite for Suarez according to Gomez. Probably trying to get him in uniform by tomorrow to torment the Cubs lol

I’m still technically a Bulls fan and will always be because I find it weird and difficult to all the sudden be a fan of another team. So ride or die with the Bulls. The issue is, since I can’t switch teams, I’ve just been mostly ignoring the NBA the last few years because I don’t care to watch the Bulls games.
-
Get Cashman very drunk and convince him the Yankees need Justin Turner’s grit on the team?
-
Reminds me a little bit like 2008. Cubs had a big lead all year, Brewers came back and tied us (I think), just before a 4 game series in Milwaukee. Hope this series goes like that one (Cubs swept all 4 games)
-
Not sure if there is a general trade rumors thread but this was posted 20 mins ago
-
I believe this evens up the all time Cubs-White Sox series if you also include the 1906 World Series.
-
Either tied or down 1 headed into tomorrow
-
I'm telling you I really don't like the L-L-R-L top of the order, especially when several of them are slumping. edit: and especially when the one righty in that part of the order is struggling the most.
-
Wait he didnt pitch yesterday? horsefeathers nevermind haha We'll see how many pitches he throws in the 9th...getting through the last out of the 8th with 3 pitches is a good start.
-
OK now that's drama
-
Kind of sucks...if Brasier gets out of this inning unscathed maybe they don't use Palencia. If they use Palencia, he's down tomorrow against Milwaukee
-
As soon as Cohen and JD start talking about no drama from Brasier, all the sudden there's drama
-
Andrew "Greg" Vaughn with a long double
-
HELL YEAH that was hilarious lol
-
I think that's ultimately what will happen. Not a full sell off but some selling. A team like the Marlins has to be legit contending or in a decent position to contend to keep their guys. Otherwise, they are always looking at the long term outlook and looking for ways to sell high and build up prospect base.
-
Brewers managed to get both Marlins runners out on the same pickoff play it sounds like to end the inning. Wtf
-
Also about the Marlins, I wonder what they do at the deadline? They are 26-12 in their last 38 games if they win this game. 5 games out of the playoffs fine but do you want to sell when your team is playing like this?
-
Did I hear the broadcast saying Marlins/Brewers was in the 9th? Pretty sure its only the 7th there.
-
Eugeniwho?
-
Shaw!
-
Stranding RISP with 1 out in each of the first 3 innings seems less than optimal with Brown on the mound.
-
Such a good swing that went foul for strike one then the rest of the AB sucked
-
Busch is 8-49 since his ridiculous series in St Louis with a 35% K rate. I think he’s had some bad luck because I seem to remember a few hard hit balls that were outs but would love to get him going again.
-
I don't know why I just realized this, but with: -the ASB -6 game homestead coming out of the break -a day off -3 game series vs. White Sox -3 game series in Milwaukee -another day off -6 game homestead -yet another day off The Cubs are currently in a 25 day stretch where they only have to leave Chicago once, to Milwaukee for 3 days (close enough to technically sleep in their own beds if they wanted to). Of course I'm sure a lot of the team went somewhere else during the break, but cool little schedule quirk.
