December 8, 201510 yr Per Cubs beat: Gordon Wittenmeyer @GDubCub: Source: Cubs close to deal for Shelby Miller. Braves would get Baez (after talks shifted from Soler). On my phone sorry for the link not posting Edit:Fixed Edited December 8, 201510 yr by SouthSideSale
December 8, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:33 AM) Per Cubs beat Source: Cubs close to deal for Shelby Miller. Braves would get Baez (after talks shifted from Soler). I don't see any of the main guys talking about this. Who is "Cubs beat"
December 8, 201510 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:39 AM) Baez is pitiful; why is he worth Miller? He isn't at all. I will believe it when I see it. How do you go from wanting Soler to settling on Baez?
December 8, 201510 yr Author @BNightengale: The #Cubs say no deal! I'm going to bed lol we'll see if it's true or not
December 8, 201510 yr Author @Joelsherman1: Being told there is no Shelby Miller-Javy Baez between #Braves and #Cubs, and that at this hour there is no deal close. Lol mods can delete this. Sorry guys. Thought it was legit
December 8, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 01:47 AM) I win! Deal never made sense but since it was a beat writer I went with it
December 8, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:48 AM) Deal never made sense but since it was a beat writer I went with it It actually did if teams value Baez's defense as much as pundits/online scouts do. A lot of people were counting Miller out after his '14 season, saw that trade as a loss for the braves.
December 8, 201510 yr That would be a STEAL for the Cubs. Baez is such a lottery ticket at this point, you'd have to get another piece or two along with him for Miller, especially if the Dbacks are truly hot on his trail. No way Baez alone would beat something the Dbacks put together.
December 8, 201510 yr Meh, Miller is overrated, his peripherals are not good, projected for an ERA over 4 by Steamer next year.
December 8, 201510 yr i really don't even know why i am posting on this freaking thread, my hatred for anything northside is, well lets say well known. but these moves that they are doing, they are screwing up royally. here is a chance to really put the driving nail in the coffin of the sox and their pr media circus and what are they doing????? going the sox owners route by going cheap. thank you to the sCrubs ownership for their inbred stupidity.

They are going to go all out to get Heyward to play CF and bat lead off
December 8, 201510 yr "braves were meeting late into night and reportedly made progress. a trade w/ shelby miller could happen as soon as today."-heyman just now He's didn't mention the Cubs specifically so who knows. Edited December 8, 201510 yr by Buehrle>Wood
December 8, 201510 yr The cubs need pitching and have the youth to trade that Atlanta is looking for so a trade makes sense for both teams. Miller would be a nice addition to the cubs rotation. I think Miller would pitch just fine for the cubs which means I really hope the trade doesn't happen.
December 8, 201510 yr Millers a 3. But when you are ready to win and have a strong farm, you can make trades like this.
December 8, 201510 yr If trade does happen, what a terrible job by Braves GM of turning Simmons and Miller into Newcomb and Baez
December 8, 201510 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 06:43 AM) They are going to go all out to get Heyward to play CF and bat lead off They don't have the money to sign Heyward unless they move some salary around, I guess they'll be looking to trade Soler to free up that cash.
December 8, 201510 yr I hope the Cubs do get Miller. That way Hahn has leverage on a Q trade to AZ. Bring back our new starting 3B + a starting OF along with a pitcher and all of a sudden the franchise is heading in a new direction and we still would have $ to spend Eaton LF Inciarte CF Upton RF Abreu 1B Melky DH Lamb 3B Avila/Navarro C Saladino SS Sanchez 2B
December 8, 201510 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:43 PM) They are going to go all out to get Heyward to play CF and bat lead off you know, in my frame of mind and being sick. that is not even funny.
December 8, 201510 yr "Miller was SIX AND SEVENTEEN last year. Why would we give up Baez for him?!" -A Cubs fan No, that's not a made-up quote.
