Whaaaa? The Cubs' IF has two MVP perrenial candidates, an AS SS, and one of the best players of the past decade at 2B. The OF's current best player is Jason Heyward. The OF's current best player is NOT Heyward if you consider how many OF AB's Schwarber, Zobrist, Bryant and Contreras will get I doubt Contreras sees much OF time at all.

I guess the nice thing is he was so bad that there's nothing to lose by doing drastic things.

this is the clip where the host throws soler in CF as an option. NBD. https://www.instagram.com/p/BNptgc-gAJ8/

Add Eloy and some combo of Jeimer/Zagunis/Caratini/Pitchers and I think that gets us in the door for conversations/consideration if they were taking offers. It came up back in spring when there was some speculation about trading for Trout, but I don't know that I'd do it...granted, in this case, it's only Schwarber, Baez, and CJ off the MLB roster, but we're so stacked that I don't think consolidating that many talented players to get from, I don't know, 95 projected wins to 99 or something, is really worth it. Having the depth affords you some injury protection, and you already have plenty of really high end talent, especially positionally. Not that I'd shed a single tear over it either. I'd be super excited. I just think there's a bit of a diminishing returns thing going on there. And it would help us lock in some more elite performance in the uncertain future years beyond the very near term. To be completely honest, my view probably made more sense when we were talking about stuff like Bryant and Addy + more back in May than in this case.

Big ol pass on trading Soler for Wade Davis I'd rather take my chances that Rondon isn't permanently broken than do that.
-
Maybe related to some talk about him being unwilling to move off of CF. Apparently, Pirates want to move Marte to center.
-
Maybe after the additional StubHub fees were figured in (for the buyer)? I don't personally believe it, but it might just be my section. I heard others talk about profiting well on every game.

He'll be worth it or come damn near close and probably have an opt out around age 31 season He was worth almost twice as much in 2015, haha. About 70% as much in a down year in 2016.

Injury concerns? Acquisition cost concerns? Or both? Also, going after Duffy, Davis, and Cain is savvy. I'd suspect it'd probably cost a lot, but I like that idea. He's fine. Just that his peripherals are nothing to write home about. I was on this soapbox the last time his name came up during the season.

I would have loved it if Prior could've pulled something like this off in his many comeback attempts. :(
-
How low does that number get if you don't even count 2016?
-
horsefeathers it, get Cain too.

Don't think this makes any difference there. This contract isn't much of a surprise, and what they're gonna get vs. what he got was already very far apart.

I think the guy who started this thread did.

It's not like the actual CBA has been written out yet anyway. Just agreement on the parameters. Still plenty of nuance that can be worked in.
