No matter what time deadline is which has shifted over years there's always a flurry of deals right at deadline. I still think Cubs will make another move. The impact I'm less sure of

Willi Castro to the Cubs.

Willi Castro and 30 minutes to add at least one arm

BTW Castro is a great bench add. Can play any position, good 3B if the Shaw hot streak isn’t for real. Definitely helps

Whos the best rental left? No way they're dealing for guy with control if they're truly holding onto prospects way reported.

 

[CycloneT]

Got our Ben Zobrist

Joe Ryan to red sox

I am stoked with the absolutely amazing trades we got done this year.

 

[Cyforce]

24 minutes to land Cabera and we check all the boxes. Sure Suarez would of been great but Castro is a player we can resign and still be able to sign Tucker or a big time starter like Peralta.

I'd even take Alcantara if miami wants to deal him. I think he'll have much better 2nd half with a new club

Jim Bowden suggested Horton Caissie Rony Cruz and I believe Brown

An important add, but not THE important add

For Sandy? He can rot in Miami

Joe Ryan to red sox

Sounds like that's not a sure thing

I despise this sentiment. This organization is intentionally resetting the luxury tax whilst having clean books in 2027.

The goal should be to build a championship caliber team this year, but next year is when you have the money to get stupid. But you can throw that away if you get stupid this year.

Preach brother.

Give me a hit off the pipe he’s smoking seems like some wild stuff!

Crap it just occurred to me that Hoyer is going to say Taillon and Assad getting healthily is just like acquiring 2 starters. FML.

Taillon is shaky at best and Assad hasn’t pitched for ever.

WTF where is our starting pitcher? Are you kidding me??
