Obviously need to wait for whole deal, but trading away Efross was weird. 5 more years of team control. Must’ve been for a guy we’re really high on.
That one made no sense to me. They better be getting a decent prospect in return as you don't just trade away cost controlled guys that have been a solid bullpen guy the past 2 seasons (61 appearances, 2.91 ERA 1.04 WHIP) for nothing. I thought if they made a deal with the Yankees it would be for Robertson or Givens so this one is surprising. Makes you wonder just how deep the purge will go now
Update: looks like they are getting the Yankees #7 prospect: WHAT?! The Cubs Are Trading Scott Effross to the Yankees (UPDATE) (bleachernation.com)
