TheTruth05 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Theo isn't known to put morals over winning. I think he tries to talk this one down enough to let Addison be a defensive sub for their playoff run then trade him for peanuts in the offseason. Russell is a scumbag.

Harry Chappas Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 With Murphy now they don't even need him as Baez is a better SS so it will all work out for them in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would have dumped him anyway over the winter, but this has to just destroy his value knowing that he could miss a good chunk of next season due to suspension when all of this is said and done.

Obviously different players/situations but teams had no problems acquiring Chapman and Osuna, so I don't think it matters to them much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, a roster of 25 guys who have basically had their asses kissed every day of their lives because of their ability to play a game, is probably going to have its fair share of assholes. So it's understandable you aren't going to have a team filled with alter boys. But the line has to be drawn somewhere, and wife beating is a pretty good spot.

fathom Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Worst kept secret in Chicago is that the Cubs were fed up with Russell's off the field antics. Kinda surprised they didn't trade him last offseason. Just last week, there was video of him out drinking at 3am with them having a day game the next day.

Bananarchy Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 They need to gag Maddon and they need to move on from Russell. That scumbag doesn't belong in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Baez' "World's Best Tagger" ability translate to the other side of 2B? Asking for all baseball fans. I'd hate to lose that.

Dick Allen Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Maddon won't even look at what the victim wrote. It would be nice if somehow, some way, MLB did the victims right with these assholes. But this will all be forgotten years from now if Russell becomes the player they thought he would become. Apparently that is far more important than being even a minimally decent human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I think he's played his last game in a Cubs uniform and is traded for peanuts in the off-seaon. Any fresh rebuilding teams need a SS? Tigers? Orioles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way. Russell is a better SS than Baez, and Baez is a far better 2B than Murphy. Losing Russell hurts their defense at 2 positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Russell hurts their defense at 2 positions. conversely though, their offense is much better at both spots with Russell out. So it isnt a total loss for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
