Matt Garza Trade Discussion Thread***Update, 60-day DL'ed

[dabynsky]

According to Bruce Levine's last chat:

In exchange for Garza and Darwin Barney, the Cubs were asking the Tigers for Nick Castellanos AND Jacob Turner AND Drew Smyly – indeed, the Cubs’ asking price on guys is astronomical right now (or, at least it was last week)

Not hard to see why the Tigers went after Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante instead.

holy shit! they wanted all those guys? wow! det was smart to say "pass"

 

[dabynsky]

Randall Delgado, Drew Smyly, Jacob Turner, Jeff Samardzija and Travis Wood would have been a nice rotation...

maybe. no one knows what those guys will do.

Your right but since all of them have pitched at the big league level it isn't like counting on Almora, Soler and Baez all to develop either.

Yeah the Cubs are going to get screwed on this one but the Cubs hold the leverage with trading Garza at least.

#Cubs Matt Garza not expected to pitch until late next week. MRI was clean. Says he's feeling better

Germano could get the Monday start. Dempster still slated for Tuesday. This is fun.

 

[Jntg4]

**** this. So first Dempster fucks us over. Then Garza is unable to start.

 

[dabynsky]

Well this increases the odds of Dodgers going after Dempster that is about the only silver lining in this shitpile.

Garza would be hard to pass through waivers. They probably will have to trade him this offseason, if anything.

Something I learned is that since Garza isn't technically DL'ed and his arm is fine, they could still trade him even with the threat of injury and tell the other team to deal with it. Less likely, but definitely possible. The Cubs could, behind the scenes, be telling teams that they're trying to save a Garza start for whoever they might be dealing him to.

Hope so but doubt

Just a write-up to summarize the logical conclusion that Garza isn't going anywhere...

Garza's probably okay.

 

[Mr. Cub]

It wouldn't be a bad thing if we were "stuck" with Garza anyway.

Whaat gets old is the assumption is that the Cubs are 4 years away. The division is weak and anything can happen in the postseason. I am not beating the Cubs are going anywhere soon, but the lineup could be a lot better quick with some luck. Next year is probably closer to this year, but beyond that who the **** knows what is going on.
