He is and I’d take him for the right price, but I can’t see the Cubs trading a fan favorite to the Sox for anything short of a haul and he’s simply not worth a massive price.
The optimist in me believes that has to be the case, but until it happens the fear of Leury striking out in a big situation to end our playoff run looms large.
I’m not worried about making the playoffs, I’m worried how our offense fares against tough RHP in October with Leury at 2B and god knows who in RF. The price for Escobar was super reasonable and passing on a potential 2B upgrade is just plain stupid IMO. I’m not going to panic just yet given there is still time and other options, but my optimism is starting a wane a bit. Just feels like Leury has some sort of spell on the organization.
Yeah, Escobar just seemed like a perfect fit for so many reasons. That being said, I wouldn’t be upset with Story, just concerned he’ll come at a price many of us will hate.
Zaxby’s is decent, but have only had it once or twice. If I’m eating fast food, I’m usually a McDonald’s or Taco Bell guy. Glad to hear you got one of those in Shanghai.
Random question, but let’s assume Portillo’s is legit, would he really ? a Tepera trade? Like I’d be cool with it, especially if the price is Lopez, but I don’t think it warrants the “oh fuck” eyeballs.
@raBBit - What are you hearing on this rumored Tepera deal? Seems like you may have some idea on what the cost might look like. Totally get it if you’re unable to share.
This is a good move for the Marlins, but Giolito’s turnaround was mostly unprecedented. Luzardo could very well take a major step forward next year, but far from a guarantee.
