Now Bryant and the Rays match up if Jed eats most of Bryant's remaining. I was thinking Shane Baz. RHP AAA ranked #72 on the top 100. He would slot into the rotation next year.

Interesting how as trade deadline approaches players on the block start hitting "more regularly", seems to happen every year. In one way good for Cubs as it makes for some more wins, good for them as it appears those players offer punch for teams in need, question from management and fans is "where were you in June and July?".

On another note, last nights win was a grinding one, Baez end of 9th hit was great.... then you watch his antics and reminded me of Carlton Fisk getting after Deoin Sanders . Baez was supposed to be this 5 tool guy, his career has been up and down and has not lived up to potential by any stretch and then he finds it necessary to disrespect the Reds with that hit... Get to 1st base and celebrate, stop acting out over 1 game winning hit. You are not one of the best players in the game, none of them act in that manner. Frankly, can't wait for this guy to be traded (he may end up being a Soler in terms of what he does for another team), but he is not the guy the Cubs need on this team IMO.
This is insanely dumb. So far from the truth.

Unless the Cubs traded for Amir Garrett, why the hell are we discussing him in the trade deadline thread?

Message board grammar police are the best kind of grammar police

Know vs. No ..... is not like "than vs. then" type grammar police, it's fundamental literacy.

To be fair, "knowone" expects a Trumpanzee like you to appreciate nor care about such subtleties cause Murica.

For a rental? Come on now. Teams normally only trade top 100 only for controlled players. Paying Bryants bill might not even enough to pull a top 100 talent.

So it sounds like Max will ok a deal to the west coast. I see it as Dodgers as the fav. The Bauer drama is heating up and they could use a major boost to push ahead of the Giants.

Assuming they are targeting Bart, I would assume Contreras could be on the move as well..
Probably. Unless Bart can play elsewhere. Dont know where tho.
