You act like they have a cap to worry about.

Not every team is the Yankees, I'm sure the Sox have a budget

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Sox have a budget reinsdorf will go over if he thinks they have a chance of winning

Im under the impression Cubs N Sox dont wanna do trades with each other cuz of the backlash if one team fleeces the other

Well the Sox appear to be a long ways away from that

What a disaster this season

@god shamgod what would you hypothetically trade for Sale right now?

Edit: .391 only

Javy, and some b level prospects we have a lot of b level

Most of our pitchers are lower levels Duane underwood is 20 in high A with a 6-2 record 1.80 era throwing bout 94

He can be had for sale

We got a Venezualean shortstop in low A at 18 he got a .490 obp and he is the youngest in the league we'll through him in too

 

[j7thirty]

I'd give up castro,vogelbach,schwarber and 2 other lower level prospects of the white sox choice(except gleyber torres)

I'd prefer Robertson tho.Cubs would to have a Power pen like the royals

I'd probably give up gleybar for sale

Castro and Schwarber is a lot

I like volgelbach too but rizzo not leaving so yea he can go

Cmon breh, this is insulting.

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

SS Gleyber Torres is the Venezuela kid... hes got alotta hype

Schwarber ain't goin anywhere especially if he can catch...They keep saying he's the best hitter the cubs have

I gotta feeling Baez is the one who gets the outta he Castro N Russell

Vogelbach is gone too no where to play him

Vogelbach doesn't really have a spot on the cubs and he can be Dh for the white sox for the next 5-6 years.I'd prefer to keep baez cuz I think his ceiling is too high to give up on him now,especially the way he was mashing before he got injured.

I'd definitely give up underwood cuz the cubs still got tseng I don't know about torres that would be tough I bet he's a top 20-30 prospect within a year or 2 he was the #1-2 international fa in '13 and he's killing shyt at 17-18 years old

 

[Brozay]

How many fukking elite prospects does this team have?

Me too but Joe maddon is real high on him and he showed drastic improvement at the plate right before he broke his finger.Castro is who I think will be traded

a lot bruh.Cubs have the #1-2 farm in baseball the prospects gonna come in waves for years and the international draft is in 2 weeks.No more restrictions which means more elite talents being signed

True tsengs numbers not that great this year and his velocity average from what I read

I was hoping Blackburn would step up and take a step but Not been that great a yea for him

Our chance at good pitching prospects down in the low low levels

 

[j7thirty]

The Cubs? As far as elite Schwarber was the last to debut

Cj Edwards may start one day but they grooming him for the bullpen this year

Pierce Johnson may start and be a solid pitcher he keep having non arm injuries

The year we got Torres he was the number 2 international free agent we got number 1 too his name something Jimenez he like 17 now and will end up as big as soler if not bigger

They drafted a pitcher last year who was a top ten talent before tommy john and he's back throwing 97 already

 

[god shamgod]

Eloy Jimenez I saw his at bats at extended spring training he's soler 2.0

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Me too but Joe maddon is real high on him and he showed drastic improvement at the plate right before he broke his finger.Castro is who I think will be traded

I always hear maddon talking good about Castro too which why I think Baez goes

I'd rather Cubs keep all three...which is why I hope Schwraber can catch...move Starlin to LF

 

[Disgustya Stallone]

Oakland w/ that +40 run diff

god help MLB if Oakland can get around .500 by the ASG
