    Yeah they have to make the move with him . Can’t be throwing games away with him pitching
  2. Dfan25
    Everything to the warning track
  3. Dfan25
    Just put Asad in the rotation and let Taillon due long relief if they don’t want to cut him
  4. Dfan25
    I thought that ball was way out . Wind blowing againts lefties ?
  5. Dfan25
    I would probably try to deal Rea and that cheap option to clear a bullpen spot for someone with higher upside

    Jed has always had a man crush on Bregman . With that said if he thought Shaw could hit enough to be a a 3/4 war guy at 3B , believe me they wouldn’t have signed Bregman .

    Harvey is such a huge wc as well . When healthy and right he is definitely high leverage guy . It really will be interesting to see how many relievers they add at the deadline . Entirely possible that Palencia can’t do back to backs after he comes back

    I think they are counting g in Brown back at some point , and doesn’t sound like building him back as a SP is out if the question yet . Steele is iffy to say the least

    I have a really difficult time believing that the Cubs would have refuse to trade a player that had no path to regular playing time for a young control pitcher they like . The guys at the Athletic wrote several times about Early as a pitcher they like . If the Cubs liked Shaw so much why did they sign a 30+ year old 3B in the first place ? Especially a guy like Jed that is so careful with contracts . I think the answer is obvious . They weren’t sure about Shaw bat. What does Durbin have to do with any of this ? Of course they were looking for infield help . Everybody knew that . They were looking for a power bat however . They settled on Durbin as a last resort move. While I can’t say for sure which of the two teams didn’t want to make the move , I think it’s more likely it was the Red Sox who were reluctant , not the Cubs due to the reasons I already explained .

    He doesn’t , too early to write him off. With that said Mead is just a better hitter currently .
  11. Dfan25
    Red Sox were known to be looking for offense , Shaw doesn’t offer the bat that Mead has right now . What do you mean by the little breakout ? Give Mead his credit . He is sporting a 134 Wrc . That’s how guys become good players , by breaking out . Some are able to do so , some don’t . Shaw is basically a cheap lefty masher with versatilty at this point . My focus on my post was offense . Mead is simply a better and more productive hitter right now . Cubs couldn’t match that . With that said , I do agree with the poster who replied to me earlier , and said Early really isn’t the pitcher to help them in a playoff run this year . If the Red Sox thought Shaw would give them the offense they were looking for , a trade would have probably happened in the offseason . I bet the Cubs would have jumped on that deal .

    Well this one looks really rough on paper . The good news is they already clinched the series . I start watching but if Taillon gives up some dings early , i probably turned it off . Ashcraft is filthy .
  13. Dfan25
    134 wRc for Mead . That came out of nowhere . Cubs didn’t have a good young bat that compares to that production unfortunately . Early would have been a good fit with the cubs
  14. Dfan25
    Job well done . Regardless I d what happens tomorrow , they did what needed to be done . Hopefully they can at least split the 4 in St Louis and let Jed get some pitching in the next 10 days
  15. Dfan25
    If the Angels ask for Rojas and Adyers in a Detmers package ? Yes or no ?
  16. Dfan25
    Shota also made an adjustment and I locating himself on the 3rd base side of the rubber . Results have been better since the adjustment .
  17. Dfan25
    Yeah I read that Hollowell added a changeup . Hex was getting hammered by lefties
  18. Dfan25
    Dbacks won . They are actually closer to the Cubs and than the Cards and Pirates
  19. Dfan25
    Huge win . Find a way to win one of the next 2 and I will be super happy .
  20. Dfan25
    That ball was hit hard but Hollowell seems to have taken a step forward since his latest call
  21. Dfan25
    Pirates are really impressive with these arms . Their time has come
  22. Dfan25
    Wow , what a play by Nico
  23. Dfan25
    Yeah I have no problem with dealing Mo or Ayers . With that said extremely unlikely they will be able to trade for 2 SP . They will have trouble getting one as it is . Edit : I guess if the Mariners don’t ask for much else after Shaw , perhaps it could happen .
  24. Dfan25
    You guys think the Angels view Ballesteros as a true catching option ?
  25. Dfan25
    I think the Cubs will end up trading for Gausman With that said I think Detmers is number # 1 on their board. Could be very important againts a team like the Phillies in a short series
