Well, they are short term screwed with the massive debt used for fans that won’t materialize for at least a few years. Long term the Cubs will continue to have a significant advantage over the White Sox, at least until there is a change in ownership. 10 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: I clicked Steamer, here are the depth chart comparisons (Zips + Steamer) https://www.fangraphs.com/projections.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&type=fangraphsdc&team=17&lg=all&players=0 Cubs: Hendricks 2.8; Davies 1.3; Mills 1.2; Alzolay 1.2; TBD.

35thstreetswarm Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 The Cubs dumped their best pitcher, are in absolute teardown mode, and have zero hope for anything but steeper decline on the horizon. The Sox are one of the hottest teams in the league, just added a top 5 in CY voting starter, and have two months to add more. The general mood and level of despondency on the teams’ respective message boards is roughly the same. “What a league.” 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Remember the Phillies and their “H2O” trade when they acquired Roy Halladay to go with Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt? This reminds me of that. Everybody panicked and were afraid of them but it didn’t quite work out like the Phillies planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Just one mans opinion but I think the Cubs did just fine and Sox would have had a challenge competing with that package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 These trades look great for the Padres on paper, but the pitchers they have been acquiring have bigtime injury concerns. Darvish, Snell, Clevinger (obviously). I appreciate the effort, but this can easily blow up in their faces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwill Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Is it wrong to say that I would still take our roster moving forward over San Diego's roster? If we are going to compare the two and we should have 20 million to spend this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
