Trust your gut and don’t underestimate their stupidity — they probably don’t know either.

At least DeBong upped his trade value with that homer after his earlier error.

Paredes has very similar power to Morel. And flexibility to play multiple positions is not a plus when Morel sucks horribly at every position he plays.

If true, the Sox are as stupid as we thought. Trying to include Benintendi, which would kill the return.

That leather jacket was epic. His Fonzie cool guy intimidation tactic didn’t work though.

We need like 7 position players assuming Montgomery and Quero pan out. Almost every trade here on out should be position player heavy IMO. I have zero faith the Sox will ever sign a big bat at big $$$.

Madrigal at 3B only worked for so long. ?

Why would it have ever been a straight up trade? Paredes is much more valuable than Morel. That’s why the Cubs had to include Bigge and the other prospect.

We all wish we could be. ?

Yep, haha.

Morel has power but he is below the Mendoza Line this year and can’t play a position. They now have a legitimate young 3B. Go take a look at what Morel’s putrid defense does to his overall WAR. Meanwhile, Paredes is a 4 WAR guy because he is good on offense and defense. It really isn’t close. Right now, Paredes is a much better player than Morel, and they are both 25.

Their two trades seem like retooling for the next few years, not just for this season. They acquired Pearson as a reclamation project that they may try to turn back into a starter. They also needed a 3B because Morel can’t play defense.

Robles was there for the taking. Getz wanted Senzel.

Ironically, Paredes was a Cubs prospect to begin with but they traded him in 2017 with Jeimer Candelario and cash to the Detroit Tigers for Alex Avila and Justin Wilson. What a terrible trade that was.

Can’t play a position, like at all.

Hasn’t been a good showcase thus far for whatever team(s) were interested, lol.

Cubs just traded Morel and two prospects to the Rays for Isaac Paredes.

Well, if teams didn’t already think Crochet had hit the innings wall yet, they do now. Excellent decision to to start him, Getz.

DeJong blows the tailor-made DP.

JR prefers to ignore reality. He thought this team needed a few tweaks to be a contender again. He also thinks once we have a lineup of nine David Ecksteins, we will be cooking with fire.

Even Schriffen and Stone commented on Eloy hitting far too many ground balls this season. 73%.

JR likes control and “yes” men. Unless AJ would fall in line with the rest of him for a managerial contract, I am having a hard time believing this news, even though it seems to be coming from JR’s mouthpiece Bob Nightengale.
