DirtySox Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I like Nick Madrigal and all, but he feels highly replaceable. The ceiling isn't enormous. I'm okay with this. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's better than Crochet and the ceiling isn't as high but wow. 5 of Madrigal but yes, dumb. Edited July 30, 2021 by manbearpuig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 gotta say...Madrigal over Crochet is SOOOO much better. I loved madrigal, but 2 years/2 injuries and his defense/speed was not as advertised. Buying a 2nd baseman is EASY in Free Agency. Hahn does it again. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishPrince34 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hate losing Madrigal, but I think injuries are going to be a huge part of his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Funny that the Chapman trade is often looked at as the beginning of the end of the Cubs ability to dominate - as overpaying for 2 months of a closer was looked upon poorly - and here the Sox are a few years later paying a ton for 2 months (+1 year) of a set up guy. It's a shame that none of the reliever prospects panned out because this sucks to pay that much in assets to acquire a bullpen guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Madrigal is a nice return for the Chubs. I hope Hahn is getting some salary relief in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Love it. Did folks expect to get Kimbrel, for High A fodder? Dude is electric this year again. AND, we get the opportunity to get a second baseman with an actual arm/glove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing is none of those guys have superstar potential, which is the difference. Madrigal is a guy who will be good to very good for the next decade, assuming his body holds up. Heuer is a closer top. In exchange you got one of the best closer in the game for the next two years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
