lmao the Cubs are going to trade Darvish for a bunch of A-ball guys and Zach loving Davies, and then try to spin it as not a pure salary dump.

I loving hate this piece of poo poo team.

What could the Cubs possibly get for Kimbrel? Might as well throw him into the Darvish package for a bag of balls.

You would have to include prospects to get rid of Kimbrel just to get a bag of balls.

Probably nothing, he's on a well above-market contract and his being "fixed" is an incredibly small sample within an incredibly small sample, I doubt anybody but the Cubs are buying it.

Keuchel was 87.3 average last season so he was either 2nd or 1st, but I have no idea who the other one below hendricks was

I mean, the Braves will at least try? And presumably the Mets now and the Phillies, or else why hire Dombrowski. But none of those could keep pace with Dodgers or supercharged all-in Padres.

I think it's cool that the Cubs finally won the World Series and then started actively encouraging their fans to stop following the sport. The Ricketses insist you exit on a high note!

I shouldn’t have ventured into the thread to read off-season news. I would’ve been better off not knowing the Cubs are trying to dump Yu for a sack of potatoes.

Charlie Culberson has signed with the Rangers, so the Braves will need to act quickly to find a new Dansby stunt double.

I do not understand why on earth the Cubs would offload a legit #1 ace SP in Yu for loving Zach Davies and some lovely lottery ticket prospects.

Oh wait yes I do it starts with "S" and ends with "alary dump".
