Busch was the main piece of that trade. If he is the player the Cubs hope the got they still won that trade.

I agree with the last part, the blackout rules need to be fixed. That is really the issue here. But if your ISP Is showing your location outside of Iowa, then it's your ISP's fault your Marquee subscription won't work.
Can't do that... It would be too easy for people in Iowa to share the subscription with people out of State.
Marlins are 0-7 and may be preparing to sell already.
Anyone we would like to see in Chicago?
I’d still like to see Burnes in a Cubs uniform but if there’s a world you can get Luzardo for a not-ridiculous price, I’d jump on that and worry about future rotation fits later. Burnes/Steele/Luzardo/Horton/Shota is a top 3 rotation in the league and your second most expensive guy would be Shota at $13 MM. Just need to get Taillon off the books.
Other than Luzardo, I’m not sure there’s anyone else I’d be too excited about.

Man the kids looked good on the hill last night. Vets not so much. Wouldn't be surprised if those to don't find their was to high leverage late inning responsibilities.
Hoerner/Mervis/Triantos/Wesneski for Luzardo and a lottery ticket.
Move Morel to 2B where he's competent and play Madrigal/Wisdom at 3B until Shaw is ready in July or August.
Well my ISP provider Verizon will continue to get my money. Marquee & the Cubs not. Not going back to Mediacom!!!
The issue isn't unique to Verizon as I have the same issue with T-Mobile when I tested at a family member's home.
With the growth of WIFI ISP's, it is an APP issue. And the fix would be easy. Base the blackout restrictions on where I physically live.
I don't think so. In looking at Marquee's TOC they state a VPN can't be used to get around blackout restrictions.
Could easily restrict number of simultaneous streams.
Also the Marquee software currently has some geolocation monitoring capability, so seems like they could develop a policy to restrict sharing.
Sorry, but this is a hot button issue for me. Love watching the Cubs.
why I pirate basically
Friend of mine is able to use a VPN to get around the MLB blackouts with his MLB subscription
I’ve had no blackout issues with marquee yet. But I spring for the $20/month fee. Sure beats the hell out of $95/month for Fubo just to get cubs games
Curious, what streaming service do you use? I'm currently with FUBU but haven't decided where to switch?
I use Hulu live normally but marquee got smart over the offseason. You can subscribe to marquee directly for $20/month. I have the app on my smart tv, and I will only miss 7 games this year, because I believe the cubs are on ESPN/Apple tv 7 times
Yeah I switched from Hulu to Fubu to get Marquee. I don't see enough upgrade with Hulu plus having to add $20.
The way I figure, I’ll only have marquee for 3-4 ish months, so I’ll spend the extra $80 to get cubs games here or there. Had Fubo last year, and found it had less on demand shows than Hulu so I switched back
