Jon Lester to the Cardinals. Poor guy, hasn't he suffered enough this year?
Well, of course we screwed this whole thing up. Just unbelievable.
What is there to screw up? Anything more then a comp pick is better then what we would have gotten if we did nothing. I don't feel like waiting 6 years to see if the comp pick turns out to be good or not.
And we are still in the same spot to sign him as a free agent.
I know it’s been said but there is no reason Hendricks or Contreras are still on this team.
I think I just mean collectively. You have a guy like KB who is a generational talent. Is young, can hit, can run and can field multiple positions. If you weren't going to resign him you should have traded when value was high. You wait until the moment you literally have the least amount of bargaining power possible and this is what happens.
Rizzo trade: B (I really like Alcantara's potential)The Cubs did ok this deadline. Now we'll see how FA goes...
