No need to troll.  No one said rental. 

Firstly, this board was enmasse ready to trade him for a rental. If that mentality has changed, then good to be with y’all finally. The namecalling, whatever man. Enjoy what Hahn as done for us not overpaying like everyone wanted him to.

I truly no nothing about Tepera since I rarely watch a Cubs game...are we looking at an 8th inning guy, 7th inning?

I watch a decent amount of Cubs game and I never heard of this guy before a couple days ago.  It's impossible to keep up with the gazillion relievers teams run out these days.  I just hope he works fast and throws strikes.

Yeah. I looked at his player page yesterday for the first time. He’s had a good 12 months. He’ll be ok.

I also hope he is better than the last ex Cubbie reliever we got....ugghhh....but then again maybe we will get a notRyanTepera out of it.

Long term big picture - I don't see a position for Burger to play at on this club. And trust me I'm a big fan.  But we have a 3rd baseman. We have Plenty of dh/corner outfielders. He's definitely a trade chip.

I don’t mind that tbh. The point is to get real value for a very good prospect. He was seriously undervalued around here this week. If they somehow turned him into some team’s top 10 outfielder, I won’t be mad.

Portillos and NotSteve reporting they’re paying the entire contract.

I would hope so, and they should throw in a reliever while they are at it...I hear that Tepera guy is having a good year.

"They" were never going to, and none of this discussion has been about a rental.  It would be nice if there weren't generic labels of trying to paint the entire board here.

Who was suggesting to deal Burger for a rental?

He's a trade chip for sure, but much more likely in an offseason deal for a player that could help them in 2022 and beyond.
