It doesn't track with everything we've been hearing. The Cubs are 28th in fWAR from SP since June 1st. He knows we need SP and while he won't completely destroy the farm system, a cost controlled TOR pitcher is well worth the prospect capital even if he pays more than he wants. It's a sellers market and the price is high...he's not going to cave until he sees whether the sellers go down on price. I won't panic, but I'll probably start getting antsy if nothing is done by like 4:30, even knowing that a lot of trades usually come down to the last minutes.

Lets make Jed believe there is only 3 hours to go so he makes a deal before the fanbase panics

Yeah I used to be on the "too many lefties" stuff. At the end of the day unless they have extreme splits, talent is talent. Get the most talented starters. Almost all the best teams against LHP are in the AL anyways.

Don't see a ton of 3 team trades in MLB (I dont think) but this could be a situation where it might make sense. Cubs give prospects to another selling team, who trades major league players to SD, while the Cubs get Cease

Sounds like the Bears offense is really cooking today, with the biggest praise for......... Luther Burden III 👀

7/31 - Cubs Trade Deadline Rumors & Discussion
UMFan83 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Just waking up to the Suarez news. Sucks, I’m a little disappointed, though there are still bats that can help us. Like I’ve said, not our biggest hole to fill but I do think we need another bat for certain situations and the cost didn’t seem as high as I expected based on what reports were suggesting. not the end of the world though, excited to see how the day plays out. -
Suck it Brewers. Assuming we close this out, just need to go 3-2 at Wrigley to win the tiebreaker over MIL

*deletes all posts asking why Happ is playing today*
-
thank you. I dont understand where all this panic comes from or the belief that he sits on his hands during trade deadlines. Are people getting him mixed up with AKME?
-
I dunno managers really love the idea of taking complete days off for struggling players. No thinking about ABs, your lack of success, etc. Not a huge deal, but with a big lead and an injury plus the off day tomorrow it would have made sense to keep him out of the game imo.
-
You'd think like with a 5 run lead you might just let Happ have a day off before an off day but I guess not.
-
I thought he was out or it was a tie, I'm surprised at how surprised Boog was. Though I'm watching on my phone so maybe I missed something.
-
If William hustled out of the box it wouldn't even be close. Not sure why Shaw rushed that.... I know he stumbled a bit but damn
-
I don't think so, thats the whole idea behind #Hugwatch and players being pulled mid-game. You might be mixing it up with there being a moratorium on trades announced during the World Series maybe?
-
OK Tuck, would be great to get an OF fly at the very least here.
-
Once again, I hate that a team can bring in a lefty later in the game to neutralize the top of the Cubs order somewhat. Make me look stupid Busch, Tucker and PCA
-
Did Dansby forget or not realize that there was a RISP?
-
I was just looking to see if the Orioles (cubs next opponent) are still bad and they've won 5 in a row with a run differential of +42 over those 5 games, including taking the first 3 from the Jays who had the best record in baseball coming into the series. Scores during that stretch: 18-0 (COL) 5-1 (COL) 11-4 (TOR) 16-4 (TOR) 3-2 (TOR)
-
Off day tomorrow, that should do it for Shota today.
-
Just for fun the Cubs should try scoring more runs
-
This umpire is horsefeathers awful
-
4 run lead with our ace on the mound, what could go wrong? 😂
-
*5-1
-
Was that a legal hit?
