Gausman to the Cubs

f*** Gausman and his disdain for the Sox… but at least the trades are heating up baby!

You'd take a Sox- Cubs World Series for sure !

Angels are losing suitors for Detmers and Soriano.

Demters is going to fall into our laps.

The return is apparent Brett Bateman & Ty Southisene.

Makes me even more confident we WILL be adding a rental SP and a catcher still… at a minimum.

Returns for rentals are low low

Have a hard time believing that the NL WS rep won’t be the dodgers again.

#13 and #21 prospects.

Yet we took on the whole Castillo deal. Will never understand it.

A couple slappy but interesting prospects.

Just looked them up. Slappy is right.

Southisene is the Cubs’ 10th ranked prospect per BA and Bateman is currently unranked (although 21st at Pipeline). The former is a former overslot prep pick in the 4th round ($1M bonus) who is likely limited to 2B and has literally zero power. Sounds like he has really good speed and is a patient hitter, but the upside looks incredibly limited to me. Seems like a pretty meh return. I think Boston Smith is a better prospect than both these guys.

Yeah, this return looks like hot garbage honestly. A couple of slappy slaps. I agree that Smith is better than both. This makes the Castillo trade look like an overpay.

Too bad Gaus didn’t want to come here. Dork.

It should give us even more reason to believe that we’re getting another SP of the rental vein.

But we got control at a price way above what Luis would get as a free agent.

Dirt cheap so far

It was’t reported clearly, but Getz did say they expected to pursue more pitching in his press conference. They will add another SP for sure…the big question is what level of impact.

Indeed.

It’s such a different deadline after we have been used to the polar opposite for what feels like forever.

A lot riding on these next 20 hours.

Really wish Teel hadn’t have had such a rough season… but hopefully we get a rental that won’t cost much as an effective bandaid.

Honestly, we needed a legit backup catcher. The Teel injury simply made that addition unavoidable, but sticking with Romo & Quero would have been a mistake regardless.

Weird that they didn’t just combine this with the Taillon trade.

If they add another starter I think they go lefty.
