Meidroth also has zero power potential.

He attended a funeral. For shame.

He played outfield in college and there has been speculation that the Cubs could try him there again with the Bregman signing.

Meidrotyh with a 1.3...few seem excited and he can play SS.

Leaving your teammates in the middle of a playoff run is typically frowned upon

Why are people comparing Bregman to Tucker. Is Tucker going to sign for $175 million?

Yeah, no idea why we’d waste trade resources on another infielder.

Whitaker's got 75 career bWAR compared to Kent's 55. Weird that the Tigers' organization isn't screaming for him to get it.

Shaw wasn’t accused of domestic abuse. He actually didn’t commit a crime at all. I know your post is in jest but no one wants Cowles, not even the Sox.

Especially if they sign Bellinger lol

I’m not trading our best trade asset for an infielder when you consider what we have in the pipeline/draft.

He is getting his ass kicked today

Nobody wanted Mike Clevenger for reasons that have nothing to do with baseball, either. I would definitely do Ben Cowles for Shaw and cash.

Josh Allen is back out there. He isn’t going to age well in my opinion. Huge dude who takes a ton of abuse. Too much at times. He also has 0 excuses anymore. No Mahomes, no Lamar, no Burrow in the playoffs. If you can't get it done... you are not that guy.

That Kent got in and Lou Whitaker has not is a fucking joke and (imo) pretty clear institutional racism, even if the individual voters don't see it that way.

Shaw for Quero sounds good to me

That trade was so dumb.

This was looking like his best opportunity for a Super Bowl.

Reasons that have nothing to do with baseball. He couldn’t stomach playing for a team that is much worse than his current team? Yeah, makes sense.

Josh Allen to the medical tent

I do not want Matt Shaw on this team. I don’t think he could stomach being on the south side anyway… for reasons. Plus, he puts himself before the team.

If they can get Shaw for ten cents on the dollar, should absolutely do that. Would think he could profile as a good LFer too.

I think Shaw's in a similar place as Quero, speaking only in baseball terms. Former top prospect, has shown they can survive the bigs, but still has more growth to be realized. It's a buy-low/sell-low that doesn't necessarily work for the Cubs. Robert's a bit of a mope. Vargas crashed and burned in real time. I act like Robert and Vargas are the great teammates that their teammates keep saying they are. Neither are uncoachable, as Law said of Shaw.

Yep, in his rookie season. Meanwhile, people were excited about Vargas’s supposed turnaround in his fourth MLB season and he finished with a 1.3 fWAR.

I didn’t say that. If the price is right however… You don’t usually get to acquire another team’s top prospects unless they have some sort of warts. I think he is interesting because he can play 2B and 3B and he could potentially be moved to the outfield. Besides, wasn’t it our “star” CF’er who didn’t even know one of the coach’s names — Charlie Montoyo? Vargas moping around for half a season. You act like the Sox roster is a bastion of amazing team players. I thought only Schriffen truly believed that.
