  1. Well sowa got one right, which is basically one more right than anyone else besides that mariners insider. The Sox have made 3 moves so far this offseason and there wasn’t a hint of rumors about any of Rhein (outside Colome from mariners insider)
  2. The Cubs had the Zobrist deal a few years ago done for over 24 hours and no one had any idea he had already taken his physical. Meanwhile, the Mets and others thought they were still in the hunt for him. Cubs kept it quiet so they could finish the Castro trade.
  3. If he was posting rumors and deleting since the Bour thing, I feel people in those reddit threads would be calling him out. I’m sure once the Bour thing came true, people were noticing if/when he posted.
  4. So I feel like there was someone named sowa back in the day that used to break Cubs stuff. The Bour stuff could be based on knowing him when he was in their minors.
  5. For the Cubs? Opens up RF while also adding relief pieces. Happ is completely expendable. This would be a deal less done for payroll flexibility but more getting rid of Heyward. They only do this if they’ve had the money all along to sign Harper.
  6. Cubs would have to pay like half of it and also take on Melancon while giving up Happ and prospects. Doesn’t seem realistic.
  7. Yep their major league scouting has been beyond terrible. It’s like every other player they acquire comes to Chicago and forgets how to play and is out of baseball in two years. The faith people have in this front office is too strong.
  8. They have a new GM and seem to know they’re going to lose MadBum. It would be a ridiculously dumb idea to bring in Heyward.
  9. Besides framing, they also might have wanted someone with a strong arm due to how bad our starters are at holding runners.
  10. Lot of confidence in Zavala on this board.
  11. It’s going to be the meltdown of all meltdowns if they miss on the big 2
  12. You would think they would have just kept Smith over McCann.
  13. And wouldn’t all that EPO help his breathing at that altitude?
  14. Could totally see it from one of the teams in on Realmuto that miss out
