December 29, 20205 yr Didn't somebody tell the Padres they have no money left? Remember the Hosmer deal. They are broke.

December 29, 20205 yr Just now, YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! said: I’m kind of mad the Sox didn’t beat that offer. Im guessing the Padres didnt ask for much salary relief. Sox werent going to spend that much money.

December 29, 20205 yr 21 hours ago, SoCalChiSox said: I think most people here would have been perfectly fine giving up Crochet/Stiever/Collins/Rutherford for a few years of cheap control of Snell. Getting Blake Snell without giving up Kopech or Vaughn would have been a massive steal, especially with Crochet's elbow prolly being a ticking time bomb. You gotta be in it to win it. SD is a franchise making big moves to win now, too bad we are not. We would never make a move like this. Ghosts of Jerry Krause, I mean Jerry Reinsdorf, haunt these halls.

December 29, 20205 yr This is a very risky deal for the Cubs but the upside is huge. The oldest prospect in the package is 20 years old.

December 29, 20205 yr I wonder how the Twins fans are feeling right now when a lot of people had Darvish being traded to them and now they may lose Odorizzi to another team as well.

Doubt they are worried about us right now, we have a chance to put a strangle hold on the division for the next 5 years and we are letting the opportunity pass us by.
December 29, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: This is a very risky deal for the Cubs but the upside is huge. The oldest prospect in the package is 20 years old. He is owed almost 60 mil and is 34. The Cubs took what they could get. The fact some of their fans thought it should be a Sale level deal is more of an indication that there probably was lead paint in the bleachers and they have long term brain damage.
December 29, 20205 yr How do these prospects compare to our system? What would an equivalent return be? If the Sox were in on Darvish at all, any deal probably fell apart due to requiring the Cubs to kick some money in.
December 29, 20205 yr I absolutely love how the Padres did this all by using their 6-20 prospects. I’ve always thought the top guys are way more vital than the depth guys.
