    Pedro Ramirez maybe with a guy like Noland or Kipp?
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    I'd still be interested in Gallen. He should be a little cheaper right?
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    horsefeathers yeah. Gonna hurt but I believe they badly needed 1 versatile bat who mashes LHP.
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    I kind of feel like they feel they owe it to Jamo to prove he's healthy and pitch in the playoffs. It terrifies me but with him and Assad, maybe they work Soroka in and push Horton to the pen, their rotation is kind of full. They might feel all but Gore and Ryan are lateral moves or something. They possibly feel the holes are overstated.

    Jed is doing exactly what everyone feared/ expected him to do and they are just not ready to accept it. The Padres added a horsefeathers haul of help. I can't believe how much they got/are possibly still getting.

    Go look at his 83 Fleer
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Pretty sure he wore the baby blue with the pinstripes plenty
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Cubs are banking hard on Jamo and Assad coming back and staying healthy. Theres your big deadline additions to the rotation.
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Damn
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Wow
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    I saw an article say Bart is drawing some interest so he could be on the move
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    Really would love for them to get Laureano or Castro.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Get Morton and Laureano and hold onto your top 5 for a big deal in the winter. Laureano can kick Happ out vs LHP and give us ridiculous OF defense at 2 spots. Morton has great postseason numbers at high volume and has been on the upswing.

    Gave up just 1 hit last night but walked 5. I wonder if the ump had a bad day or if he was wild. Either way hes been phenomenal since 5/28 - 1.35 ERA 2.88 FIP and an absurd .162 OBA in 60 IP. Just 1 HR allowed and that was on 6/5. His start prior to this was the only one he allowed more than 1 run. Really dominant stretch.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Interested to hear what Jed had on the table
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Yall brace yourselves. If we trade for Suarez that 4 year streak is history. Cruz and Franklin is a pretty steep price to pay for an expected stats darling rental.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    The freaking sample size (your fetish) is 4 years. Again, how many players playing one of the rarest positions around the league at the time and that are performing 30+% above league average have been traded? This is a unique case. The Cubs need RH power bad and up until the ASB had virtually no production out of the 3B position and they are desperate to make the playoffs, are seemingly in the sweepstakes even though the ask is 2 top 100 guys. Jed is willing to make major concessions IMO if we are still in that fight.
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    But how long until ge reaches it? Frankly I think its a little outlandish considering he has firmly been a sub-200 ISO guy at every stop where he played a lot of games.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Wicks' arsenal grades out better than Horton's and Brown's but I dont trust him in mopup at this point. It's weird.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    MVPete it is.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Yes?
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    He has never posted 20/20 in the minors but hes likely 20/20 most seasons in the majors? Color me skeptical. He has been league average offensively this year and theres a good chance he will get overwhelmed when the fastballs stop in the majors, its just not really a profile i would wager much on at this point.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    How many of those bats played a position where there was a major dearth across the league? How many were posting 130 in that season as well? Arizona has a major chip in their possession. We have also heard that Jed would be willing to part with Caissie for Mitch freaking Keller from a guy who is very plugged in.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Was it Kiley that left him out? It was a pretty big name.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    I said it several times throughout the year that I just don't think those guys have the type of value that most of you think they do. Alcantara is gonna be 24 next year with possibly one option remaining. We are not the only ones privy to the fact that he struggles majorly against non- fastballs. He doesn't steal but he might be a decent CF. What type of war can you project? He's borderline amd gonna fall off a lot of lists next year. Caissie's profile similarly doesn't bode well. Jason and others have admitted he might take a season or two to be a viable MLB bat. He's almost certainly going to be a platoon guy, maybe average COF defense. If he doesn't mash i just don't see him being rhat valuable. Maybe it was a brain fart but Longenhagen doesn't have him in his top 100, and that is pretty significant to me. My thing is, if im Arizona I am going hard after Rojas or Wiggins if Caissie is off-limits. 3B is just of massive scarcity and here's a guy who could hit 15 HR for you down the stretch. We are in heavy need of RH power. We are the team mostly linked to him, I believe. Jed has to be willing to make a major concession if that is truly the case. Suarez is a more valuable chip than most of the top rental bats that have been traded in recent years.
