Squirmin' for Yermin

The best two players in that deal are Cubs players....

Is this a guess or confirmation? I forget if you have sources or not...

Rutherford was a fine centerpiece. My issue with the trade had always been that the supporting pieces were essentially junk..

It was weak when it happened.

Can Brantley play enough OF now to essentially be a full time RF? Honestly unsure since the Astros primarily used him at DH right?

Cubs will be sellers.. They just have to be.

Most of the core is already signed to long term deals.

Mazara has the same value in a trade as I would.. You non-tender him.

As long as he's optioned first

Give me Hinch.... There, I said it.

Agreed. He has been a top 5 pitcher in all of baseball since the second half of 2019

Any updates?

me too

I'd love to sign Quintana as our Long man out of the pen but get 10ish starts a year due to injury/needed rest for the youngins

They should be won't.

I still want to fire him.. But this game isn't a reason why. He did most everything correct imo.. 1. no one could have predicted Crochet getting hurt. 2. Taking Bummer out after 1 inning imo was a bad move. 3. Ever throwing Rodon was a bad move. Other than 2/3 (and 2 is small), the pitchers just couldn't find the zone. Not much he could do there

yeah wrong.. We should not have traded for a SP.. Dunning looked great and Cease was passable.

YAY! Another wasted year of control!

Renteria better have already chatted with Giolito about his availability.....

You have to save Cease just in case of extra innings

This won't be popular but you HAVE to bring Foster out and hope he can get through the inning with nothing. First baserunner, pull him.. But at least try it.

This is just a bad take. Apart from the Rodon stupid call.. He should never have been in... All other bullpen moves i'd agree with

Rodon vs Pinder Foster vs Canha... It's actually a SUPER easy decision

Why TF was Rodon ever put in to begin with. That was the first move i completely disagree with
