MercenaryChef Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Dodgers with nine runs already. Poor bastard starter that the cards sacrificed to the bats of the dodgers. Now give us a chance at eating your bullpen, you fuckers. Monkey, don't turn it off either. Keep watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should probably be evaluated by a professional before he plays again. Alternately, the conspiracy theory on the radio this morning, while I could still get the station while driving, was that it was essentially a cry for help and Sale WANTS to stay with the White Sox and he's trying to Sabato get potential trades by making himself seem crazier than he is. In reality, he's a 12 year old mentally. Guy's a nut job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 A young, top prospect...well done. First time I can remember Yankees being the ones trading a stud for young talent before the trade deadline in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have Story with like 28 HR's, Diaz hitting .318 with good power, and Seager for LA all as NL rookie shortstops this year. I feel like all of them would win Rooke of the Year most years. The crop of young shortstops right now is incredible, both leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I can remember Yankees being the ones trading a stud for young talent before the trade deadline in quite some time. The top Cubs prospect, ranked #26 overall...who'd have to get through Addison Russell and Javy Baez...he's a moveable piece certainly. Last year, their top prospects were like four of the top ten overall...those guys are all up. It's an acceptable price. But it's still Chapman and there's a certain ickiness to this... 43 minutes ago, Myshkin said: Yikes, Cubs paid a pretty steep price for a rental.

Myshkin Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I understand that Torres isn't Bryant or Shwarber, and I understand that he was blocked in the Cubs organization, but your top prospect plus three others is still a high price to pay for a rental reliever, even one as good as Chapman. And yeah, maybe they extend him, maybe, but that's a different transaction, it's got nothing to do with the price they paid. This trade only looks good for the Cubs if Chapman plays a big part in winning them a championship this year. Then it's a brilliant move, and Epstien is the genius hero once again. But if the Cubbies don't win it all and Chapman opts for free agency, they'll sure wish they still had old Gleyber to dangle as trade bait.
