I feel like it's significantly harder to trade in video games than people give it credit for! Except the 2k games. Teams will offer some stupid ass trades on their own.

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) 24 minutes ago, steveno89 said: What he said is being blown out of proportion. Bryant is not getting dealt. Theo Epstein, the head of baseball operations, was asked earlier this week at the GM meetings about the availability of Bryant and first baseman Anthony Rizzo in trades. "We've never operated with untouchables," he said. "It sends the wrong message. Given what we're trying to accomplish, it would be virtually impossible to envision the deal that would make sense to move them. I just don't believe in untouchables. Why limit yourself?" The basis of this article is Olneys anonymous sources on what Theo is telling other GMs. Not these quotes, although they are added in the article.

If that is the case, I doubt he'd get much of a return in relation to a player of his caliber because he'd have trouble passing a physical, as crazy as that sounds. I've been wondering for a while whether Bryant made a mistake in not taking an extension pre-injury and this kinda does fit with that.

Panerista Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Bryant isn't going anywhere. The Cubs are just running on a "No untouchables" policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 6 hours ago, SoxAce said: Makes you wonder how fucked up his shoulder really is. Exactly. He didn't look very good when he came off the DL last year, and he might never be what he once was. Keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Just now, Donaldo said: Exactly. He didn't look very good when he came off the DL last year, and he might never be what he once was. Keep it. just tossing it out there - he might be much more available and reasonably priced as a bounce back candidate next offseason than this year maybe, if his shoulder really does have issues the Cubs could be much more willing to move on after another lost year?

Sarava Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I think everyone know this, but trading a bunch of high-end prospects for Bryant defeats the purpose of the rebuild we've been suffering through. We don't need to be trading away our top prospects for a guy who will sign elsewhere in 3 years. The Sox need to augment their prospects with free agent signings, so they are adding to the organization's assets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Theo was just saying that no one is off the table. KB likely has a chronic shoulder issue and he is an awkward too tall 3B. Great hitter when healthy but struggling to hit with the shoulder problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always a joy when Boras over-plays his hand but I support the players. Trickle-down only works for the elites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
