Right on. It would have been the end of the Goodwin era, and the beginning of Murderous Row. Also a position player contributing every game rather than a reliever coming in every two or three games.
Are Williams and Hahn ever going to be made accountable for their bone head moves? Were they also responsible for the LaRussa hire or that was JR alone?
It was a terrible trade giving up two young stars including a first rounder for a 32 yr old guy that we did not need. We already had a Hendriks. Hahn screwed up big time.
Wow,! Leury has become a slugger this weekend. We tried to give the game away with Kimbrel and awful hitting, but Leury would not have any of that. Glad we did not have to see Wright pitch after all.
Just as bad as the Quintana trade was for the Cubs. Shame was that we did not need another closer and gave two young good major leaguers for him, and what we needed was an outfielder instead.
