Right now a deal is in the works to send Tucker Barnhart to the Cubs in exchange for Kyle Schwarber and cash considerations. Not doubting you at all but where was this said? Hadn't heard that one.

rico Posted July 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Seriously, I did see where the Cubs were inquiring about the Orioles Jonathan Villar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is when Cubs got confirmation that Zobrist was coming back they moved on from Sogard and focused efforts on Villar. True veteran, lefty bat..and can play all infield positions besides 1B...fits what Cubs have been looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Wow. Tribe trades Bauer for Puig, Reyes and Logan Allen (from the Padres), and the Padres get Taylor Trammell from the Reds. Tribe got some instant pop in their lineup, and I think Tito will be a good manager for Puig. I think Bauer was such a pain in the ass the Indians were going to get rid of him no matter what. They certainly got a nice return...Now, can they afford getting rid of a pitcher like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say much on Cubs. Darvish pitched well again and another loss for him and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that Puig seems to be a genuinely nice guy, good in the clubhouse and the community. Bauer, on the other hand, comes across as a jerk.

"They are good, but we are better." Carlos Martinez. If I was Maddon, I'd make sure everyone on the team saw that quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
