    I respectfully suggest looking into those histories again, both over the season with the Cubs and in past years. And the Cubs' pitching lab has a lot to do with their good pitching, not just defense, I'm confident. It appears Civale, Theilbar, and Rea have to be left behind, now, perhaps even Thornton. Assad keeps getting better and better. He's coming into his own. Zeff-er-jon appears iffier than than the rest. Cabrera is still a question mark!

    You don't think it will be tough for Gausman and Holmes to replicate what the Cubs starters have done across the board since July 1? We'll see....

    Not all that impressed with either of the new rental starters. The Cubs have an excellently preforming rotation right now. Why fix what isn't broken? Which of them should be replaced? Let the newbies be long relievers, at least for now. But, I really like getting Braxton Garrett.

    Seems to me, Assad should keep starting. If he's demoted, I may trade the Cubs for the NFL preseason..

    Seems the Cubs lost much when they signed Bregman with a no-trade, multi-year contract. Let's not blame them for trading prospects that have little place to go with the Cubs' major league team.

    I just got a call. I've been traded to the Texas Rangers for Fergie Jenkins.

    Not too excited about this, either.
  8. Arlen
    OK with me, this one.
  9. Arlen
    Well, may this one be happy for all concerned.

    Picking up the payers Jed Hoyer does beats trading the future for just a chance to do better in one year, plus going into debt and raising costs to attend games, or even see them on TV or streamed, or hear them audibly. Just not into the trade and free agent hysteria that drives so much sports media.

    Here's to Bregman playing as if he were Santo without diabetes. We're Cubs fans, so hope springs and sprints.
  12. Arlen
    Seems to me, that is because teams front-end the power hitters in very recent times.

    It would be great to have another starter, but I don't get the assumption that Javier Assad can't start a fine number of games, now, thanks.

    I agree with your sentiments, but tying an aging Bregman's salary around the team's neck seems simply nonsensical. Look at the youth coming up that can play 3B nicely. When Shaw gets back it will be embarrassingly obvious. Look at ballplayers overall who get to Bregman's age and onward. "Past performance is not a guarantee of future results." Good investors know that well.

    Jason Heyward a decade ago... Alex Bregman now. Seems Cubs management listened to people who write articles in fan sites.
