The one thing I will say about Gray is that I doubt the Cubs will be willing to give up too much. The thing the Cubs seem to really value is durability so I doubt that they would be willing to give up somebody like Baez or especially Happ. I also think that they are not as high on Almora as we may be, especially with Happ doing well. I do see them selling on him soon. Packaging Almora and Candelario is a pretty good package and could be used to bring back another pitcher or something. I do expect them to do another move before the deadline.

I remember going to a game that series. It was right after Sammy returned from the corked bat suspension. -
I would like to keep Montgomery. I think he has a lot of value working from the bullpen and as a spot starter to this team.

Whelp, this sucks but: Drop T Turner, add L Morrison Drop A Diaz, add R Zimmerman -
Cubs trade Eloy, Cease, others for Quintana
sweetpeteman replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm actually surprised he only cost Eloy & Cease (the other two are throw-ins I hadn't even heard of). -
There's a snowball's chance in hell that the Giants trade Bumgardner for anything less than Schwarber, Eloy, Baez/Russell, Happ, and more. They may be bad this year but I doubt they think their window is closed for the next couple years.

7/9 cobs are playing who cares

horsefeathers it, #FireMaddon. -
I doubt anybody is going to trade for him, especially not a good team.
-
Probably Candelario.
-
You guys are shooting too low. We're clearly getting Coghlan back.
-
Lester's pitching - Miggy wouldn't have been playing anyways.
-
The only reason the Yankees move Pineda is if they think they won't be getting him to re-sign, so I doubt they'll move him. I don't know if the Yankees are necessarily buyers, but they won't sell anybody. They make me think of the Cubs in 2015, and will probably trade like that (trading lesser prospects for back-end rotation and bull-pen help, like the Cubs trading for Tommy Hunter and Dan Haren).
-
I keep expecting him to slump or something but he doesn't. I looked to see how much Yankee Stadium helps him, and it gives him and almost .400 bump in OPS. Of course, that's .950 road OPS to a 1.330 home OPS.
-
Cuddling somebody out publicly is bad, but once you do it, don't expect others to hold back.
-
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmnnnnnnnn I did not expect them to do this, especially the DFA part. I thought they'd fine or suspend Miggy for now, especially since he's been decent this year outside of not throwing out runners and this crap.
-
I like that it look's like the name continues. Kile Schwarberber
-
Because nobody wants him or his horrendous contract.
-
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaha
-
Good: No Happ leading off Bad: Back to Schwarber Joe is officially insane at this point. Also, Addison is back in. We'll see how the croud reacts.
-
I remember the build up to that draft and the debate over Vitters vs Wieters. Turns out the "We Want Wieters!" side was right. The could've drafted: Wieters, Bumgarner, Heyward, Porcello, Frazier, or even Josh Donaldson. That's the joke...

6/6 Cubs (Arrieta) vs Marlins (Locke) 7 pm CSN
sweetpeteman replied to Andy's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Good lord Russell. -
A Maddux, at that. And faced the minimum since both walks were erased by DPs. All on a hurt ankle. Hell of a performance.
-
Volquez strikes out the side to get the no-hitter.
-
Volquez has something going in Miami headed to the ninth, but the announcer (at least the one on the MLB channel, I'm not sure if it's the Marlins broadcaster or not) keeps going on about how Don Mattingly has an interesting decision to make. No. No he doesn't. At all. Yes, right now it's only a 1-0 game. Volquez is only at 86 pitches. What decision does he have to make? Nobody is going to pull Volquez right now. Hell, even if he gives up a hit he won't be immediately pulled.
-
The problem is that the only other players on the Jays bench (Goins, Carrera, and Coghlan) are left handed hitters... I should say that the problem is that their manager thinks that Barney is a better option because he bats righty, I still would've gone with Carrera, he did pretty good against LHP last year and has ok career numbers.
