I want Zyhir Hope. It’s who I was hoping we’d get for Crochet, but maybe we can talk them into it for Robert. A guy can dream.

It’s also good practice for down the road if a similar situation arises and they’re in a better position as a franchise.

I’ll never forget the twitter poll asking if people would be happy if Robert had the equal to Ricky’s career, and the majority said they wouldn’t. Blew my mind. Those people must have never seen him play. An all-time great. How he wasn’t a unanimous vote for the HOF is beyond me. I consider myself lucky to have seen him play baseball.

Jesus Christ you guys are at it in this thread too? Just bang each other already…this will they/wont they stuff is getting annoying.

I expect it’ll be a tandem to start the year until one of the prospects forces the issue. Thaiss isn’t going to block anyone I don’t imagine.

From Cubs for cash.

James confirmed on the futuresox podcast.

They didn’t spend it.

If there’s anyone who you can take at their word, it’s a politician.

I wouldn’t label it as an “insane” lack. I don’t think it’s a lack at all, actually. The back end of our top 30 consists of viable big league starters and high picks from the most recent draft. I think we’re middle of the pack in depth and near the tippy top in high end talent.

A couple ppl in here are disappointed the return is good lol

Wasn’t super enthused by Teel as the headliner, but the rest of the return is fantastic.

It’ll be kinda funny if they trade for Cease.

He generally speaking has good at bats and seems to have a plan up there. That alone will be refreshing.

This is far too reasonable.
