Let me see....Cueto, Leake, Frazier, Bruce, Cozart, Chapman. Just to name a few. Another problem was that they got nothing in the trades of Chapman, Cueto and Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM for White Sox Hahn finally convinced ownership and Kenny that they needed to max out on players. Time will tell if it will work for them (2-3 prospects have suffered major injuries already) but I applaud an organization for realizing they have to trade what they have. Kind of like Orioles right now. Machado and Britton should already be wearing other teams uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't describe the feeling of knowing my team (Cubs are batting about .950) when it comes to decisions. Takes all the pressure off. Cubs had some playoff teams and a couple of runs before Theo but our organization was still hindered by ownership. For the first time in my life the Cubs are operating great on all levels. Now if I can just get the Bears to take a hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I'm not blind allegiance Cubs fan (close though) when it comes to Joe Maddon but Almora/Baez has to be the 1-2 guys. No more lineup tinkering. Cubs are 6-0 with Almora starting. I don't want to discard Happ while he works on his swing (shortening a bit I hope) but can't argue with Almora success and Baez is playing his best baseball ever.

rico Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 My memory is failing me but I remember when the Cubs acquired Ben Zobrist. I was looking through his transaction history and the Royals acquired Ben from the A's and one of the guys the Royals gave up was Sean in that trade.

Seeking6 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Reds are like several of my Cubs teams. Season is over before April even ends. Team knows, coaches, players and organization. Maybe this will be the year Votto gets dealt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
