In reference to Luzardo, believe that was last year for those who are confused reading that (myself included at first).

Correct.

Love that deal for them. Cabrera always been a stud, just some injury issues. If he stays healthy, I wouldnt be shocked if he was a top 10 pitcher in baseball over next 5 years.

Weird that the full return hasn't been reported yet? Word is that Cassie is the headliner though.

Physical. Same thing that happened with Luzardo when they tried to acquire him in the past i guess.

Yep, Cabrera reportedly had a strain/partial tear of his UCL at the end of the season. 

Crazy how much more Baz went for compared to Cabrera.

Inter-division trade tax? I agree though.

Thought there'd be a bit more here honestly

Concerns about Cabrera’s health probably hurt his value some 

I do not like this for the Cums. Not a big Cabrera fan, to give Caissie up

I love this trade for the cums.  It was a big load to give up but they had to make a splash.

Yeah that’s a super deep rotation now and if they add Bregman, Bichette, Tucker or Bellinger, it’s probably the second best NL roster.

They play their cards right, the prize is right there in their hands.

Especially since Baz stinks.

They are going for the big finish.  They are so pumped that they will swallow their pride and take it all.

And the Cubs are hoping for a big spurt to get the happy ending they all are hoping for

Pitcher for the Rockies would probably be a last choice, right after Savannah Bananas.

Not even the Sox were stupid enough to meet that price.

Not only are they terrible, Coors will inflate his stats nicely to screw him over for next offseason.

Yikes

Holy hell that’s wild. 
 

speaking of arbitration, it made me think of the pettiness with Giolito years ago. Anyone on the Sox a union rep right now?

He's 100% getting traded now.  You don't come back from that.
