    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".
  5. Stratos
    Geez.
  6. Stratos
    Mancini had a -0.8 WAR this year, so the Cubs just improved haha.
  7. Stratos
    Jason Foley from the Tigers would be pretty sweet.
  8. Stratos
    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
  9. Stratos
    Peace out Mancini. I wonder who plays 1B vs LHP now. Wisdom? Sometimes Candelario?
  10. Stratos
    Would imagine last nights start didn't help Stromans trade value given the bad run he's on.
  11. Stratos
    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.
  12. Stratos
    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.
  13. Stratos
    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.
  14. Stratos
    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.
  15. Stratos
    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?
  18. Stratos
    Cubs got Candelario.
  19. Stratos
    Yeah and Wisdom has some options left apparently.
  20. Stratos
    Possibly, he seems like the one least used these days.
  21. Stratos
    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.
  22. Stratos
    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.
  23. Stratos
    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.
  24. Stratos
    If you're going to spend a mega wad of cash on a player, and the Cubs will probably only do that with one guy at any time, you do it with a guy like Ohtani. The Cubs crunch the numbers, they don't spend based on emotion. If the contract is worth the money for the production they project they'll receive over the length of the deal they'll do it. The best team they (or any team) can build is one where they maximize the WAR per 230 million spent (or whatever their payroll is in a given year).
  25. Stratos
    Maybe they trade for Jason Heyward? 😁
