So that was the type of deal that they needed to address some core issues going.

I'm still holding out for Whit.

I have no idea what the Giants are doing.

They traded their bullpen. Kept Mad Bum and added offense. Weird
The giants deciding to kind of go for it instead of selling was a poor decision. Their roster is bad.

The cubs did a decent job at the deadline and really didn’t give up any prospects that matter (Marquez, Alzolay, Davis, Abbott, or Miller)

I believe only the Astros had a better deadline. Cubs strengthed bullpen, lineup, and bench without mortgaging any future.

So they added 2 guys. Now the question is who gets axed from the 25 now.

What will Maddon do with Happ now, Schwarber, Heyward, Casetllanos seems to be the outfield for most games. Nick is killing lefties, but I doubt Heyward will sit.

I can look at this as

LF Schwarber/Castellanos
CF Almora/Kemp
RF Heyward
3B Bryant
SS Baez
2B
1B Rizzo
C Contreras/Caratini

I'm guessing Bote stays up. Happ and Garcia demoted. That leaves it at 11. They need a back up SS and I would promote Russell again and make him the starting 2b. Play the D card.
