Jack Parkman Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Jose Quintana is leading the Cubs pitching staff in fWAR. https://www.fangraphs.com/teams/cubs I miss Jose, and if the Cubs are stupid enough to give into their fanbase and decline his option I'd take him back in an instant.

They aren't declining his option. They never were going to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 20 minutes ago, Tony said: It's not even a thought. If he had a 6.00 ERA, the option would have been picked up. It was never going to be declined. The only reason why it even crossed my mind is if they want to go after Gerrit Cole. Hamels comes off the books this year, and Lester after next year. Should they want to do that, they could decline Quintana to free up money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Tony said: Then you pick up the option and trade Quintana, who still has value because of the team-friendly deal. It was never, ever going to be declined, unless he had a career-ending injury. Yeah that makes more sense. Though I wonder if they lose some leverage in a trade if they are over the luxury tax and have to move someone.

Glad all I hear about is how great they are at home and awful they are on the road, only to come home and get swept by a decent team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I haven't looked at the standings in a long time but you ain't lying. They'd actually be at least 10 games back in any other division. They'd be in 3rd in the NLE, ALC and ALW and 4th in the ALE. Edited August 26, 2019 by Iwritecode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see Q step up in the playoffs. Q is a good guy. Gotta love the old belly slides. Baez jammed his thumb last weekend and not ready to play. I personally prefer that productive hitters do not make base-running their forte. God forbid Jimenez tries that for the Hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
