Cubs gave up cease and jimenez for quintana

farm team is gutted. At least yall get a pick from Arrieta once he leaves.

Wow what a haul. Teams like the a's gotta be salivating seeing this and what they can get for Gray

Market for controllable pitching is crazy.

I think Quintana is better then his numbers but for this package they should have tried to get someone like Archer

My god, i can't believe they got that much for Quintana.

The Cubs took a chance and gave up Gleyber to shore up the bullpen and win the WS.

It was a very understandable trade.

But losing Gleyber AND Eloy is a sketchy move.

I don't want to call it a terrible trade since I think the Cubs have enough offense to win as it is. So losing an OF prospect that wasn't going to help this year anyway won't destroy them. But I don't think there was good enough value here.

Good haul for the White Sox.

They still got Robertson to trade too and the Nationals are desperate for a closer. If they could get Robles

Archer price is even higher. Well it just got higher after this trade.

I don't mind trading prospects Cubs have a ton of young position players on the cheap and need pitching it's just who they got

As I said if you're gonna gut the system try to get someone like Archer
