    I like Doolittle also, but I don't like arguably the Cubs top prospect for him. I don't like big time prospects for relievers at all unless the reliever is a legit shutdown guy. Doolittle would be really nice, but I don't get the "game over" feeling wtih Doolittle/Strop/Rondon as I do with Miller or Chapman/Strop/Rondon. Not saying I'd trade Gleyber for Chapman necessarily, but definitely not for Doolittle alone. I wonder what it would take to get Rich Hill over here with Doolittle.

    Cubs are going to need to get 2 relievers. I mean they'll still try to make Nathan, Matusz, and apparently Peralta work, but they need to probably make 1 small and 1 big trade for a reliever.

    Boooooo. Screwed the closer and didn't even give Bryant another chance.

    Had to be Soriano.

    Billy Hamilton has a .392 OBP against the Cubs. It's about .011 against everyone else.

    Glad they kept Arrieta in the game.

    I thought he might get thru 6 today and get a cheap quality start......but alas, he is broken.

    Arrieta seems to be a guy that turns it up a notch when he needs to. I'm not going to look up any stats right now, but I feel like when he doesn't like the way he pitched the previous time out or the team is desperate for a win, he tends to dominate.

    2-3 against one of the toughest pitchers in the league. Darwin Barney was probably awesome against someone too. Look, not trying to pile on the guy, but does he have a nagging injury or is this is ceiling? When Fowler gets back I'd rather he not bat 2nd in this lineup. Yeah, offense is so terrible w/ him hitting 2nd all year.

    He should be out of this inning.

    If Javy was there we'd be winning this game, I think he nails the first run at home too Certainly would have been close.

    Thankfully, the Marlins aren't sending runners from 3rd.

    Don't need him? There's more baseball being played outside of 2016. The Cubs are facing 2017 without Fowler, with uncertainty around Schwarber, unproven Almora, and underachieving Heyward. Granted Soler isn't guaranteed to do anything either, but he's more proven than the Schwarbs and Almora at this point. Granted, you can keep Bryant in the OF, but then you're putting Baez out there everyday, which also is not confidence inspiring at this point. That being said, I don't think trading Soler would necessarily be terrible for the current Cubs or necessarily hurt them too much in the future. But I think the key point is what are they trading Soler for? You aren't trading him for another OF, that would be pointless. You aren't trading him for a starter and demoting either Hendricks or Hammel, who have shown no reason to do that and have been better than likely anyone you'd be trading for. So, you're talking about a bullpen arm. Do you really want to trade Soler for a relief pitcher? No matter how good that reliever is, that's going to be poor value for a starting caliber corner OF.
