July 26, 20187 yr https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/07/cole-hamels-trade-rumors-cubs-rangers.html This could be an interesting rumor to follow.
July 27, 20187 yr Not quite sure why Texas is basically giving Hamels away (bad minor leaguers and covering like 10 mil)
July 27, 20187 yr With that said, Theo is always lucky to have unlimited resources to cover for his terrible FA acquisitions

July 27, 20187 yr 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.

July 27, 20187 yr 47 minutes ago, fathom said: Not quite sure why Texas is basically giving Hamels away (bad minor leaguers and covering like 10 mil) I mean, Hamels has been pretty bad this year, so the Rangers aren't losing anything, but I'm not sure why they are throwing in a ton of money if they aren't getting anything of value in return. Are they starving for money? I don't quite get it.

July 27, 20187 yr Theo has wanted Hamels for years. It's like KW's obsession with "insert player past his prime".
July 27, 20187 yr Author So who did the cubs give up? I'm seeing Rollie Lacy being named but that's it.

Just to clarify, those are just the 2 names I've seen online, not names that are official. No one has posted the official return yet.

July 27, 20187 yr 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.
July 29, 20187 yr I hope this Lacy guy is good, because taking on Eddie Butler is the Rangers doing Theo a favor, he is bad.
