AAV lower than I expected

 

[Schattenjäger]

Blessing in disguise

 

[CygnusXS]

Mets couldn't match that?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

That contract ain't too bad. Now to get a middle infielder from the Cubs

 

[Malo]

So much for that 4/80 million offer Zobrist had.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Not a bad deal for the Cubs, but glad there's probably one less team for Heyward now!

edit: apparently there were multiple teams interested in Jon Jay. What?

 

[jello44]

I hate our ownership. With a deep rooted passion I hate them.

Bullet dodged.

Spoiler

For now

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Wow that's not a bad deal.

 

[Malo]

Nova for Castro.

 

[jbug617]

Gammons says that the Cespedes market is not as hot as you think it would be.

 

[darkside31337]

wow this hurts. thought for sure he was going to the mets. now hes playing with joe maddon again

still sucks that the rays never kept him. price was impossible to keep. shields wasn't worth keeping. shipping zobrist out of town really hurt.

 

[CygnusXS]

Wow that's not a bad deal.

You guys don't need Baez anymore clearly.

Yankees and Cubs moving closing on a trade of Starlin Castro, according to sources.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Castro about to be traded to the Cubs

 

[Frozenprince]

LOL we really only fronted $56M to a fucking UTL middle infielder?

Makes no sense. Ah well thank god it fell through, wanted no part of Zobrist, it's Dilson's time, let it be his time.

We need to go hard after Span and Parra now.

And the Astros traded him for Aubrey fucking Huff

Castro about to be traded to the Cubs

You can trade players to your own team now?!

 

[Malvingt2]

Wait... Castro trade is done?

Joel Sherman ‏@Joelsherman1
Told that Castro to #Yankees has been agreed upon, but not finalized. Still medical review, etc. #Cubs

ohh

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Wait... Castro trade is done?

Pending medical reviews.

 

[Frozenprince]

Wait... Castro trade is done?

Has to be if they signed Zobrist.

 

[jbug617]

Wait... Castro trade is done?

Not yet. Joel Sherman said they agree to a deal but waiting for medicals

 

[brianjones]

what are Cubs getting back

 

[Frozenprince]

what are Cubs getting back

Probably one of the Yankees OF, reports say not Gardner so, Ells maybe.

 

[RBH]

Maybe Tyler Flowers could teach CBeth a thing or two about framing pitches.

 

[Malo]

I have to see who we give up because I'm not a big Castro fan.

 

[GK86]

Mets couldn't even sign Zobrist. Smh.

"fucking UTL middle infielder"

I get why the money is so low compared to other deals going on, he's old as fuck but its still lower than what I would have figured. Would rather overpay for the tail end of Zobrist than pay for Daniel Murphy or whatever 2B are left.

Rumors of Warren earlier.

Yes, a fucking UTL middle infielder, which is what he would be for the Mets, at 35, going into peak decline years.

Wanted no part of that.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Zobrist would probably take less to go to play with Maddon again then deal with Mests stuff.

I'm with you. Use the available money to upgrade real needs. We need a CF.

 

[Friggz]

same...doubt its ellsbury. and im actually hoping its not adam warren. id trade nova but thats about it. castro has been one of the worst players in baseball the last few years.

 

[Malo]

Rumors of Warren earlier.

Jack Curry:

To get Starlin Castro from the Cubs, the Yankees parted with Adam Warren and a player to be named.

 

[Frozenprince]

Sign Parra, sign Span, trade for a Baez if the deal is right and go in with what we can.

Target Shawn Kelley for the BP and hope for the best. At this point, this is what we have available.

I swear if our cheap ass ownership makes us bring back Murph, I'll lose it.

Ken Rosenthal – ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Source: #Dodgers have discussed involving a third team to satisfy #Marlins on Fernandez. Typical of Friedman to explore creative options.

This is from hours ago but I hope it gets done. I don't care if the Marlins FO says he's not available. Like anybody listens to those clowns.

yeah just saw it was warren. hate this move big time. warren had a ton of value for the yankees.

 

[Malo]

Man, I really like Warren, but they never did give him an extended look as a starter. I'm indifferent on this trade.

 

[BFIB]

Oh man. The pieces are going to move now. I got a feeling the Cubs are now going to package Baez, Schwarber , prospects to the Braves for Miller, which opens a spot for Heyward.

 

[Friggz]

that would be entirely too much.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I would move Soler + Baez before Schwarber and still think that would be too much.

 

[CygnusXS]

Trade Baez for Miller, sign Heyward for CF? Yeah, that'd be a team alright.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Hmm now that Cubs might have 5 starters with Warren now I wonder if we have a Hendricks trade in the works. He could have some value.
