Knowing the O's, it's gonna be some shit like "Adley slept on his side weird last night, so his shoulder was a bit sore, but his medicals came back 100% clear."

I'd believe you if not for the fact that I found results on the front page of Google. Two of the players fueling this team right now, Tilson and Cordell, were flipped for Zach Duke and Anthony Swarzak respectively. Two players nowhere near Colome's value. Ti'Quan Forbes is one of the few guys producing in AA this year. He was acquired for half a year of Miguel Gonzalez. Felix Paulino is pitching ok in Birmingham after being acquired for Luis Avilan. Yes, Rutherford has been a disappointment. Medeiros was a flyer for Joakim Soria who you thought was shit. Casey Gilaspie ended up not sticking, but that was for a LOOGY.

Got it. Misread.

Jack, I understand where you're coming from, but this isn't exactly accurate. 29 years ago Marc Newfield was picked #4 out of high school as a first baseman and immediately moved to the outfield. 30 years ago we took the greatest hitter in franchise history at #7.

Greg, you're a journalist. You have Google. Stop doing this bullshit (greg estimate) thing to do a make a point. You can (greg does 30 seconds of research) and find accurate information that blows up your strawman arguments. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/the-cost-of-a-beer-and-a-hot-dog-at-fenway-vs-other-mlb-parks/ss-BBL8FAm#image=18 Beer: $7 (larger cups than average) Hot dog: $4.50

The Birmingham boys have come alive. Robert has shared his secret stuff.

Well, outside of Greg, that's just simply not true.

Proven closers at the deadline usually get a top prospect and then some, so with that in mind, the headliners Hahn would ask for: Phillies: Adonis Medina Mets: Andres Gimenez Cubs: Nico Hoerner Yankees: Florial or Loaisiga Braves: Austin Riley or Ian Anderson (but nothing else) Well, good thing we're not trading Zach Duke or Anthony Swarzak. Ti'Quan Forbes was acquired for a few months of Miguel Gonzalez. Kodi Medeiros for Joakim Soria. They were buy lows, unless you wanted a few more months of Miguel Gonzalez (who the Sox re-signed in the offseason) or Joakim Soria (but then we don't try to acquire Colome).

Fantastic read and well worth the Patreon subscription.

Yup. Colome is valuable because he could be valuable to the 2020 Sox, so the Cubs need to pony up. And it's not even like Hoerner is a super elite prospect like he paid for Chapman or Q.

Eh, not bad

Holy hell what a play

"Eloy's coming" lmao Benetti

For real. A waiver trade of Alex Rios netted Leury.

The problem with this is that that's genius

He truly inherited @ChiliIrishHammock24 's title.

Man all this sudden "Adley is 50/50" to go #1 talk...

Almora's a good dude. I have to add him to the list of Cubs I can't root against.

Aight, I'm sold.

The real prospect was the fights we had along the way.

That was the most casual robbery I've ever seen.

2-3 today.

"These people, they are celebrating Robert's walk-off, yes?" "Correct." "Have they mentioned Nick Madrigal?" "No? Winston-Salem had the day off." "I should bring him up." "Ah shit, here we go again."
