BaconOnAStick Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Wouldn't be that shocking if Cubs were going after Jose Fernandez this entire time. Soler/Baez/Contreras/Hendricks/Torres could easily get it done. Nowhere close if those reported demands from the Dodgers are true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Interestingly enough after reading our good old friend Bruce Levines Twitter about the Cubs money. He wrote this morning that we(White Sox) have ZERO dollars for trades and free agents. Amusing because that's clearly not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 why should the sox be a happy loser when the sox have an imbecilic gm in kw and a skin flint for owners who can't see the big picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 To be honest, after this move, I would think Theo is on the horn almost immediately with Hahn (amongst other GM's) trying to see if he can get one of our cost controlled front-line starters. Get the Cubs & Dodgers in a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 12:39 PM) Well their depth was sad and their hitting was terrible. Heyward was the only power/reliable offensive player they had on the team entering the playoffs. Thats because holiday and adams were out with injuries and molina was trying to play with a tirn ucl in his thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 So the Cubs are in balls to the wall mode now. Well it will be interesting to see if their moves are going to work. We know all too well that making the big splashes in the off season doesnt guarantee s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The White Sox are going to end up in Portland or Carolina in the next few years if they aren't careful. Watch. We're doomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 12:35 PM) 2 hours ago: "Man I really want the Sox to sign Heyward at all costs." Now: "Meh he's no good." I literally have seen a few people flip flop that easy. I am pretty sure most people wanted Zobrist at 3B and Heyward at RF dating back to the regular season, but the tone is definitely changed with all the cubs hate in here While Heyward doesn't hit for the power of a $200 million dollar man (yet), he also does not have any weakness in his game, and is considered plus several areas. With him entering his prime, it not hard to imagine him blasting 20 HR a year especially with the wind in Wrigley field. Is $200 mil too much? Maybe slightly, but I am sure their fans or owner don't have a problem with that. The core of Rizzo, Bryant, Russell, and Schwarber will dirt cheap for at least 3 years, they definitely could afford a move like this to put them over the top.

OmarComing25 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The Cardinals pitchers also all got pretty lucky this year. The team is primed for big regression, it's between the Pirates/Cubs next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is primed for big regression, it's between the Pirates/Cubs next year. Wainwright/Martinez/Wacha/Garcia/maybe Chen is pretty damn good. Pirates desperately need another starting pitcher, as they really only have Cole/Liriano/Niese they can count on. Morton and Locke are garbage.

Buehrle>Wood Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Fortunately MLB would never give up a local TV contract in Chicago. That's where the money is these days anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
