Sorry, but you guys seem to think the Cubs got themselves an ace and gave up nothing.

I think the deal itself is fine.

But I am a firm believer in tinstaapp.

There is no such thing as a pitching prospect

WTF? I would want an explanation, but you said you're drunk, so i'm not sure if this is your real opinion or not, so I won't start one. I disagree, that's all.

I just want to say I hate this trade a ton. Garza doesn't miss bats, and is now pitching on a much worse defensive team. He is a bulldog on the mound and will eat up innings, but how doe she help the Cubs right now?

And the package the Cubs gave the Rays is much better then the one the Brewers gave the Royals for Greinke, and Greinke is a much better pitcher then Garza.

Hendry is reaching for something to save his job, and in reality I think he just hurt himself in the long run.

Yeah this isn't a steal, but by no means did Hendry go nuts.

Here is what we can determine by this trade.......

The Cubs think McNutt>Archer

Sczur is going to play baseball

The PTBNL is a good prospect.

Wait for the whole thing to come out before bashing it.

Worst case scenario the Cubs are better in 2011. That doesn't suck.

How'd this mean Szczur is choosing baseball?

But according to CO, Hendry is god. He's never wrong!

Not true.

Starting with the prospects, I love this trade for Tampa Bay. They got more for Garza than Kansas City did for Zack Greinke, although their package of players is, collectively, further away than what the Royals got. It looks to me like the Rays focused less on position and more on overall value.

Keith Law ESPN Insider content.

I am not saying he knows everything, but at least one person, who gets paid to share his opinions, agrees with what I said.
