QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 06:40 PM) In the playoffs absolutely Didn't he hit only 1? Carpenter has way more power than him, and I would say Piscotty looks to have as well.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 07:39 PM) Well their depth was sad and their hitting was terrible. Heyward was the only power/reliable offensive player they had on the team entering the playoffs. Heyward with power?

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) Welp. They're WS favorites now for sure, but even the favorite has what, a 20% chance at getting it done? Just have to hope someone else takes them out. They better figure out how to hit Harvey/Thor/DeGrom

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) WCUB (the Score) is now in full TheoJedMaddonSchwarberBryantCubs jerk-off mode. Anyway, last year was the Cubs' free ride. All the pressure is on them now. Have fun. They were even before today

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 07:36 PM) I dont think they want to win 90 games and then get kicked right out of the playoffs. They were incredibly weak entering the playoffs. Also had horrible luck with injuries.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 55s55 seconds ago #Cubs have had trade dialogue with #Padres (Tyson Ross) and #Indians (Carlos Carrasco, Danny Salazar), sources say.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 06:32 PM) Both Baez and Soler really shouldnt garner any interest in front of the line starter packages. But somehow they do. All about the hype for the Cubs prospects. Amazing to me Baez has as much value as they make it seem.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) And they now have an expendable Soler to trade for one. Yep, they can overpay for someone like Carrasco now by giving up Baez/Soler. I bet the Cubs sign Span as well.

Sounds like he took less for better chance to win.

Gonna suck more when they cash in on Soler. Guess they did have that money

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 11:45 PM) I agree. Montas, Thompson, and Micah for Frazier? Too little? Too much? If they would do that, I'll drive the 3 to Cincy

Trayce seems like a perfect fit for Cincy, to be honest. They need some outfield help, especially if Bruce gets dealt.

Jeff Nelson was bad

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 10:54 PM) Jim Bowden ‏@JimBowden_ESPN 8m8 minutes ago Justin Upton market picking up steam with Orioles, Giants and Angels all involved There's been very little of late connecting the Sox to Upton. Seems like Cespedes might be their target.

Bonifacio and Keppinger truly were awful

Paniagua easily wins this

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 09:44 PM) How would you guys feel about a Trayce/Avi/Danish for Marcell Ozuna/Derek Dietrich swap? Not nearly enough...they're asking for legit starting pitching (T. Walker, Salazar, etc.)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 07:14 PM) Yes. They have two prime regression candidates in Lackey and Arrieta. Watch them trade Baez and Soler for Ross or Carrasco

Davis makes Cardinals better than if they keep Heyward in my opinion. They need power badly.

Scary thing to me isn't the Cubs getting him, but more that they then would then trade Soler and more for a starting pitcher.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 08:00 PM) All signs pointing to the Cubs at this point. What signs?

FWIW, Heyward screams Carl Crawford 2.0 to me

Still think the Angels have a shot at him. If it's between Cubs and Cardinals, I truly believe he signs with the Cubs. Cubs beat writers seem optimistic and Cardinals writers don't.

With regards to Fulmer, if you hold on to him, they better no for sure he's going to be a starter and not a reliever.
