fathom Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Not quite sure why Texas is basically giving Hamels away (bad minor leaguers and covering like 10 mil) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 With that said, Theo is always lucky to have unlimited resources to cover for his terrible FA acquisitions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see what he can do with an owner that let's him spend any money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Something that is interesting is 3/4 of Cubs postseason rotation likely to be LHP. Dodgers suck vs LHP, but Machado will help. Atlanta destroys LHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they starving for money? I don't quite get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Theo has wanted Hamels for years. It's like KW's obsession with "insert player past his prime". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 So who did the cubs give up? I'm seeing Rollie Lacy being named but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollie Lacy and DJ Wilson are the two names I've seen. Wilson is ranked as the Cubs 8th best prospect by Fangraphs. Lacy is not ranked at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamels performance and money doesn't warrant much of a return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Not sure the Cub have the mojo to make the final series. KB struggling with a bad shoulder. I might pull for the Brew Crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I hope this Lacy guy is good, because taking on Eddie Butler is the Rangers doing Theo a favor, he is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
