MLB: Cubs Firesale

[CycloneErik]

2 good gets for the Braves right there.

MLBTR says it's not a done deal yet, but that it's close.

Now they're saying it's for sure.

Assuming Randall Delgado has to be a piece in that trade.

Assuming Randall Delgado has to be a piece in that trade.

Doesn't sound like it-- a couple minor leaguers.

 

[kcclones]

Delgado not in it. They wasted that opportunity with Dempster...

"They" as in Dempster.

Damn, I liked Maholm and Reed.

 

[TheCaptain]

Well crap.

Alfonso Soriano has told Cubs he will not go to Giants in trade

Cubs get Arodys Vizcaino and Jaye Chapman from Braves!

Vizcaino is a slight risk that could bring a major reward. Good deal, IMO.

Cubs trade Paul Maholm, Reed Johnson to Braves - CBSSports.com

The Cubs have traded outfielder Reed Johnson and left-handed starting pitcher Paul Maholm to the Braves, CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman and Danny Knobler have confirmed. Full details of the trade are still unavailable, including the package the Cubs have received in return.

Geovany Soto traded to Rangers - CBSSports.com

So the Cubs get a 4.27 ERA Double A pitcher in return?

High upside arms but most likely bullpen guys.

 

[Hawkeye11en1]

Sell them. Sell them all.

High upside arms but most likely bullpen guys.

Having a guy like Vizcaino in the 'pen is nothing to sneeze at. He was on the Braves' "untouchables" list before TJ surgery and had very good K/9.

Never said he was.
I said high upside arm.

 

[gocubs2118]

Vizcaino coming back in the Braves trade is a HUGE win. He had Tommy John Surgery in March he has huge upside.

 

[KnappShack]

Twitter saying an even bigger deal with a division rival could go down.

It's on Twitter so it must be true

yeah Vizcaino is a good reliever assuming his recovery goes well from Tommy John surgery i don't know much about Chapman. as a Braves fan i am very happy with this trade and honestly a little glad the Dempster trade fell through...sounds like he's only gonna be happy on the left coast anyway.
