Marlins just acquired White Sox Patrick Wisdom.
-
Suzuki also out, per him looking like crap at the dish lately I imagine.
-
Mancini DFA'd
-
Mancini: https://twitter.com/sahadevsharma/status/1686473727683289088
-
Ken Rosenthal's bow-tie traded for Job Heyman's speaking voice.
-
Last year twitter was the best place for deadline news. Now its "X".
-
Geez.
-
Mancini had a -0.8 WAR this year, so the Cubs just improved haha.
-
Jason Foley from the Tigers would be pretty sweet.
-
I hope we don't have that feeling where it's 30 mins past the deadline and we're waiting for the Cubs to do one more move and haven't heard anything and just waiting for a late announcement that never happens LOL
-
Peace out Mancini. I wonder who plays 1B vs LHP now. Wisdom? Sometimes Candelario?
-
Would imagine last nights start didn't help Stromans trade value given the bad run he's on.
-
I think this move was to clear space to make room for PCA in AAA, and add some relief depth in Iowa. I don't think any of the relievers traded for so far will end up on the MLB team soon, more trades to come for legit relievers.
-
Morel sucks in the field except maybe middle infield so can't blame them. Partly the Cubs fault for making him play a ton of positions and trying to make him a super utility guy, which was a terrible decision for a guy with little fielding skills to begin with. Candelario can't really hit LHP so I could see a platoon there, some starts from Madrigal or wisdom vs LHP.
-
Really terribly ABs lately, half swinging on everything. I'd consider benching him some this series. He's just bad at recognizing pitches, he's a pure guess hitter. Stroman had to do better yesterday, you can't give up 6 runs early.
-
Cubs will have lots of money. Heyward will be off the books, Stroman, Hendricks, Bellinger may be gone. That's like 75-85 million to spend somewhere.

Cubs acquire Jeimer Candelario from Nationals - Rosenthal
Stratos replied to ILMindState's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He's a 4 win type player, not super sexy but a good all-around player without any obvious weakness. -

Decent prospects, but I'm fine with it. Hertz has obvious control issues and Made is solid but maybe not much of a future on our MLB team, being blocked by guys and a questionable bat. Candelario was arguably the best bat on the market and they have to give up something for him. I'm hoping maybe an extension for him?
-
Cubs got Candelario.
-
Yeah and Wisdom has some options left apparently.
-
Possibly, he seems like the one least used these days.
-
So if we acquire another bat then who moves off the 26-man roster? Candidates are Amaya, Wisdom, Tauchman, maybe Mancini or Madrigal. I would think maybe Amaya is most likely.

Ohtani to Dodgers for an ungodly amount of money
Stratos replied to JD94's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It would be interesting to know how much extra revenue a big star like Ohtani brings in. It could pay for some of the salary, I'm sure they'd factor that in. -
If Ben Brown or Wicks were killing it in AAA I could maybe see a trade more likely. It's still possible but I dunno, not sure what they'll do. Maybe it will just depend on the offer they get.
