I'd want more than just Joc if Q was going the other way.

Same here. Q has more value than Miller.

 

Problem is that Pederson doesn't fill the void at 3B or equal the value of Q. Pederson and Peraza would make some sense.

You rank Russell and Baez ahead of Schwarber? Interesting.

 

Schwarber is a DH whose hitting numbers dropped steadily and drastically throughout the year. I think he'll wind up another Viciedo.

I disagree. Schwarber's legit. I don't expect the same power numbers but I think he can be a ~30 HR guy.

 

i don't know. all i know is hitting in wrigley will not hurt.

Asked the guy that started the CarGo Sox rumors of there was anything going on. He replied with this:

 

@gastelumcharlie: nothing so far, maybe at WM, but heard from a @Cubs coach that @whitesox asking about Russell or Báez for Quintana rumors

 

If the centerpiece of a Q trade is Baez, I will probably stop being a Sox fan

i too will really consider the sox FO is a lost cause until the sox gets a new owner and fires kw.

Jesse Rogers was on Kaplan's show yesterday. He is a total Cubs boy. He called the Samardjiza/Russell trade the greatest in Cubs history. Said Russell is the second coming of Barry Larkin, and he is convinced the Shark will be back with the Cubs.

The problem with that proposal is the Rockies GM needs to be drunk and on PCP to,say yes.

 

No, it will just require the Sox to take an even worse contract in return. The idea of shedding the massive amount of money owed to either CarGo or Reyes would be attractive to the Rockies and they fill an empty 1B spot for a year. It would make sense for the Rockies, but for the Sox you are handcuffing your payroll in the future. If the Sox would eat half of LaRoches salary, they could possibly get a lottery ticket A ball prospect out of the deal as Colorado is going to have to pay someone to fill the position eventually anyway.

I don't know about greatest trade in Cubs history, but it's definitely up there. To basically get Fowler, Russell, McKinney for half years from Hammel and Shark is great.

 

Straily. part of deal to get Fowler, if you guys didn't know.

Will #WhiteSox will be aggressive or view '16 as a transition year? Thus far they've upgraded C, their 3rd-best (lineup) position, per WAR.

Don't count out Rick Hahn making some impact trades, however. #WhiteSox lineup behind Abreu, Eaton needs help to keep pace in AL Central.

Do people really believe the Cubs are gonna trade Russell? lmao

Let's be real, the Samardzija/Russell trade was absolutely fabulous for the Cubs. Only thing that rivals it in terms of A's stupidity is trading away Donaldson that offseason.

GM Rick Hahn says White Sox not closed to any avenue for making the squad better. Still talking trades and free agents.

Cubs have no ml ready prospects. Baez is high risk.

There is no match in a trade with the Cubs. The cubbie media just wants Cubs to get Sox pitchers for their excess junk.

Can't wait to hear Hahn answer Kaplan's questions about the Cubs dynasty

Now that's funny. The guy who even in hindsight said trading Jeremy Reed was a mistake thinks a 22 year old who hit .320 with power in AAA and can play SS and was a top 5 prospect as a 21 year old is not mlb ready and high risk. Do not acquire. Your entire narrative has been destroyed.

What are the odds Kaplan asks Hahn what is the one move the Cubs can make to get them over the top?

Lol he's such a homer.

Lol he's such a homer.

He is. He is actually a good guy. I know many of us cannot stand him, but if you met him, you would really like him. His problem is he can't hide is Cubs bias. .

When I think of Quintana and the Cubs I envision a trade involving Baez and Castro, with their side eating some of his remaining contract.
