fathom

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 03:47 PM) I still think he improves this team dramatically just with his defense over Melky and Avi. Even if we sign Upton, I'd want Trayce out there. I think trading him creates a hole to fill one. If it was up to me, Avi is traded before Trayce

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 03:39 PM) Ha! I had a lot of irrational Samardjiza hate I had to pause... he's from Valparaiso, went to Notre Dame, and played for the Cubs. For me those are three great reason to root against a guy. ND, Cubs and sucked for White Sox....he's like the perfect movie villain.

I loved what I saw from Trayce last year, but if you can use him as a main piece to acquire a young starting 3b...then nice job selling high on him.

I'm gonna guess Danish and May

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 05:01 AM) I'd really like to find out where Hahn was in all of this. It's annoying for me that given what we need, and what Arizona provided, we were nowhere to be seen. Pretty obvious they want to compete in 2016. To me, Hahn has been a massive bust as a GM. His poor moves last offseason have crippled this roster.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 03:39 AM) Why weren't the Cubs in on Alex Gordon? He's supposedly their fallback option if they can't get Heyward

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:13 AM) I messed up that post but I was joking because when I made the thread that Maeda was posted multiple posters just scoffed at it acting like Maeda to the DBacks was a foregone conclusion. Well yeah, that was before the Greinke shocker

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:54 AM) By increasing payroll? Yes, and they are for sure trying to unload Hammel

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:49 AM) It's like they want to add, but not toooo much. They gave away Castro and signed a guy who is about to fall off of a cliff. Definitely seems they are set up for Heyward now

Dodgers aren't trading Seager

I wonder if the minor leaguer going to Arizona is a big name guy

Too bad Q isn't on the market

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:16 AM) Baez? Alcantara? Coghlan? Am I missing something? LaStella

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:15 AM) I don't think they had a backup infielder. Ryan is a solid backup with plus defense. Baez

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:09 AM) Cubs got robbed...I love it. Which makes me think they have something huge in mind

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:06 AM) After Price signed all I heard on the radio was that the Cubs would have needed to move salary to afford him. Now they supposedly can afford Lackey, Zobrist, and Heyward? Did just dump Castro salary

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:02 AM) My Cubs fans friends aren't thrilled at all. Cubs media acting like its the best move ever

Two straight guys they paid more for past production than future production. Goes against everything Theo supposedly believes in.

Castro to Yanks according to Joel Sherman

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 12:48 AM) The Cubs signing Jason Heyward would be much much worse Still possible by all accounts

Castro likely gone to Yanks now. Really hope they don't go after Fernandez

Really hope it's not Miller Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1 5m5 minutes ago Told Gardner is NOT part of conversations with #Cubs about Castro

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:58 PM) Talk is Gardner or Miller

Possibility of Starlin Castro to the Yankees with the Cubs signing Zobrist is popping up all over twitter

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) The 4th one I'd be perfectly fine with if we got Frazier, and Upton Yep, with Anderson lurking, it makes no sense to block him for more than this coming year.
