The 2017 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

[Regular_P]

In the world series he was great, now not so much and since happ is more versatile,provides the same power as a switch hitter so he makes schwarber expendable

You a tigers fan, you have absolutely nothing to look forward too,roster full of bloated contracts,declining old players and your team hasn't won a championship since 1984.I'd be miserable too

No need to be miserable. They had their chances and blew it.

I'm very disappointed they still haven't traded anybody yet. That and Ausmus still being the manager makes me feel like the dark days are back.

You talkin bout the cubs gave up so much when in reality they gave up 2 single a prospects(the other 2 suck and aren't even top 30) who are years away while not subtracting from the mlb roster.

The cubs needed a starter,Quintana is one of the best cost controlled starters on the market this move may not change anything in 2017 because the offense is just as big an issue as the starting pitching but it helps the cubs for the next 3 years after this one ,and they'll have more dough to spend when arrieta walks.You have to give up quality to get quality.The cubs promoted 6 top 50 prospects to the mlb roster since 2014(happ,bryant,baez,russell,almora,contreras) they're set at position players for years.They needed pitching more than they needed those 2 prospects now sit back and watch the cubs win 2 more world series by 2020 while the tigers fade to irrelevancy :cubsumad:

The same dude who broke the quintana news is saying schwarber and almora to the tigers for fullmer is being discussed

You like that trade?

Schwarber was fun to watch when he was on, sucks that he's going through a slump right now. Cubs need good pitching in the worse way and Fulmer does have some shyt

Fulmer's an All-Star pitcher who's under team control through 2022. If Detroit dares trade him, they better absolutely pillage someone's farm system. I'm talking Bartolo Colon for Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore and Brandon Phillips type stuff.

Schwarber isn't a .200 hitter. He's better than that.

But the Cubs absolutely should move him.
He's overrated as fukk and a defensive liability.

The first decent reliever and A-ball flamethrowing starter any team offers...the Cubs should be all over it.

Finally... one of the worst contracts in MLB

 

[god shamgod]

The Cubs tried to engage the Tigers in trade talks on Michael Fulmer before acquiring Quintana, reports Nightengale in a full column. However, Detroit gave no indication that it was willing to listen unless the Cubs were willing to include both Javier Baez and Ian Happ in trade talks.

Enjoy years of mediocrity

In surprised he's fallen so far, 50 mil is hard to eat no matter how much revenues you bring in

Pales in comparison to the 100M+ the Cubs still owe Jason Heyward.

Happ has made schwarber expendable.I know schwarber is a better hitter than what he's shown but happ can do everything better + switch hits.He just passed schwarber with the most hr's by any cub ever in their 1st 50 games.I'd call beane and offer schwarber,candelario and they can take russell back for gray.
