David Kaplan ‏@thekapman 56m56 minutes ago
Cubs actively working phones according to MLB exec. "Theo+Jed just aren't comfortable trading away big pieces unless they hit HR in deal."


Hmmmmmmmm

I know for a fact that David Kaplan has a direct line to Jed. When it comes to Cubs sources, Kaplan hears straight from the horses mouth.

If it came down to Baez or Edwards, what would you do? Say no deal and keep both?
I'm going to do what I hate and not answer the question. Since the discussion revolves around Castro as part of the deal, the Cubs aren't going to give away both. I keep Edwards. The Pads would be giving up SP and closer. They need SS. So they would be getting SP in Hendricks, too. I like Kyle. I wonder if pitching in Petco will be an advantage to him. I would think so. There are any number of pitchers/prospects the Cubs could send that don't have the last name of Edwards.

Lol you bastard. To simplify the question then: who do you value more, Edwards or Baez?

The thing that I kept trying to say that people were freaking out over. The Cubs weren't trying to give Castro away. They centered him in the big deal. If they wanted just to get rid of him, they could have just got rid of him for a 5th starter. From the beginning, the Cubs asking price was high. They never really wavered. Also, this is baseball. 90% of the rumors are bullshit. This trade season should show you that.

For me it's not really a who as much as a why. Good pitching always beats good hitting. Until the Cubs staff is stacked like the old Braves were, I value pitching more than position players. Ask yourself how the Cubs are above .500. It sure isn't because they can hit. The while team struggled at the dish until post AS break and thr hitting still seems to be on life support. Lester, Arrieta, Hammel, et al have kept the team hanging in the WC.

Fair enough. Thanks for not answering the question (kidding)

So, the Padres thing was all on the Padres. The GM believes they can make the playoffs. So, it was never really imminent. Padres were the ones holding off on any sort of deal.
