Rondon is one of the best closers in the league. Dont be a meatball.

His 4 blown saves this year say otherwise.

Source says the Cubs have been told that Hal Steinbrenner has signed off on trading Chapman so no obstacles left to block 4-for-1 deal

You most certainly are.

Rashad Crawford is the 4th man. I dont even know who that is. Also, no extension. The Cubs get a supplemental 1st round pick if he walks.

So according to reports, there have been no contract extension talks with Chapman/agent. This would be an over-pay and an indication the Cubs are in it to win it this year. I am wondering if the trade may have some conditional language that if an extension agreement cannot be made, the Cubs would be able to get one of the players back or a pick or something?

Edit: SilenceS added what I wondered about the draft pick, if an agreement can't be reached.

Way to go Theo. Don't stop here if something good crops up. Way to shore up the bullpen.

Omlette and Cubsmann. Last chance to put each other on ignore or both are getting banned. Period!

Can't you just put both on ignore for all of us?

 

[Omeletpants]

You most certainly are.

Me? No, it's him

I thought the QO was voided if you were traded during the season. Also Crawford isn't much of a prospect. He's an OF and hitting .255/.327/.386 in A+. Think defensively he's decent and he plays CF. Probably not much upside more than like bench guy on a MLB level.

I never put anyone on ignore. And if i did, it would be Cubsboyy, not you.

At the time there were no legit sources posting this. Now ESPN and others have it. So no.... Google was not working for me. Or Twitter.

 

[TL1961]

ESPN is considered a "legit source"?

I love that ESPN tries to claim being first, even s they say they weren't.

"As first reported by FanRag, and confirmed by ESPN" Tools!

I was just joking.
