They will even include a top prospect. That kind of activity could indicate Scherzer to the Dodgers is a real situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just now, caulfield12 said: Yeah, I remember those in Augusta, late late night. Another place they had all over the South (besides Waffle House and the ubiquitous Cracker Barrel) was Zaxby’s. And Varsity in Atlanta. (All the things you miss when you’re unable to leave China since 2019…that and Dr. Pepper, and gasp, Taco Bell, although there is finally one in Shanghai.) 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.

At GRF, facing those three and no Plesac, no excuse not to win 2/3. Quantrill has been pretty good, and McKenzie just threw a really good game last time out. He seems to be so inconsistent, a lot like Cease or Lopez but obviously less experienced . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 2 years of arbitration left on a lottery ticket with some experience could he worth considering for the Cubs if the offers are garbage. ReyLo would have to do a lot to be worth his $4-5M arb tag next season. He’s pretty much a 100% guaranteed non tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDSR Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I don't think it's that outlandish. Here's the positive spin from the Cubs POV: Not giving up anything other than a 33yo reliever having the best (or flukiest or luckiest) season of his career, who will walk at the end of the season because we're not going to pay him what someone else will after the flukiest or luckiest season of his career. We're buying low on a guy who at least has some control if we wanted to pay for it (we probably won't), but even if we don't, the low chance of a fun reclamation story and re-signing him at $2-3 million if we feel it's a good gamble (there's this guy Rodon on the other side of town), is worth giving up the 33yo reliever we won't retain who is having the flukiest or luckiest season of his career. Edit: Not commenting on the reliability...just that it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility for either side.

He could have been had for a Micker Adolfo type of prospect and it looks like we straight up passed on it. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
