    I refuse to give him page views unless it's a charity blogathon. I get that he doesn't want to burn a possible bridge with the Cubs but his renovation project "coverage" couldn't have been penned better by Craig Kenney himself.

    And Javy. But yes, agreed. Soler is already on a major League deal and Rivero is 26. I don't see a reason to start Baez's clock this soon while he is still learning second base.

    Soler and Rivero need to be in the majors now.

    Next June how many teams won't be able to sign a player above $250K?

    19 year old southpaw Carlos A. Rodriguez is flat out dealing in the summer league 53IP/54K/4B/1HR/1.18 ERA

    Total in season savings just short of 7m on the year.

    I've seen him ranked as high as 4th on some Braves prospect lists with him BA having him 8th. Thats a really good get for utility infielder free agent and an average loogy.

    Nobody topped that offer for Price?!

    Gonna be fun to see if Theo pulls off a package deal or sells off Bonifacio and Russell individually.

    Ronnie still going strong in the 13th.

    I'm still betting and hoping for a consolidation of assets type trade. (Russell/Fujikawa/Bonifacio/Outfielder) for a couple Single A arms to dream on and cash relief.

    Barney Bonifacio Russell Wright Villanueva Valbuena Fujikawa Coghlan/Schierholtz/Ruggiano/Sweeney/Lake Valbuena Jackson IR Slot money Quite a mix of spare parts. Theo should be able to turn this mix into some salary relief or some interesting young arms to gamble on.

    Yankees Jackson/Villenueva/Slot money/ Cubs pay half of Jacksons deal Cubs In season payroll savings from payroll shed and not spending the full IFA allotment. Saving 50 percent of Jacksons deal the next two season. a prospect equivalent to Corey Black last August. The Cubs also open more audition time for the kids and the battle for the number draft pick. Make it happen Theo and .

    I see the position move as the exact opposite. With Javy learning a new position it makes sense to leave him at Iowa to continue to get instruction and keep the arb block from starting.
  18. Neuby
    5th in the standings right only 3.5 out for the 1 pick!
  19. Neuby
    Almost positive Jacksons deal is 11M next year because it was front loaded.

    Gordon Wittenmyer ‏@GDubCub 27m Cubs to bring up Alcantara for two days to take Barney's place during paternity leave.

    Even if next year Bryant, Baez, Alcantara and maybe Soler come up and mash, get us into the playoff hunt and turn us into the hot young team a high priced FA could see fitting in and winning rings with for many years? If we are offering similar money as all the other teams, I'd like our chances based off our projected future. we're not going to have real money until 2020. we'll get horrifically outbid by half the league if he's really up for grabs. given how little we have tied up in the situation he's talking about, we have real money right now. not unless we're using the cheese in discarded pizza boxes as currency now. The Cubs didn't spend the money that they had allotted for this offseason and Theo has said it will roll over. Sorianos contract and others fall off the books this year. I thought I read the Cubs had 55 million locked up for next season and that was including Shark. Dealing Shark and Hammel a month early also help the Cubs net another $5M in savings this season.

    Mark Reynolds and Olt are great comps. Except Olt is a lot better defensively. Play Olt and Lake the rest of the second half and see if you can build some surplus value from them since they don't fit in the long term plan.
  24. Neuby
    Alacantra being included in this deal would be quite the steal for the Cubs. The A's top three prospects and a young MLB ready upside arm. :good:
  25. Neuby
    I wouldn't trade Valbuena alone where the top piece is something from the bottom half of the Yanks top 10. In fact, unless one of Sanchez, Severino, or Clarkin were involved-I'd have a hard time dealing him to them. I had Clark and Severino in the back half of the Yankees top ten. I love Sanchez just not sure the Cubs could put together a package for him not that did not include Wood.
