    Yes it does. I read SF #30 and #9 - was needing so see Joey Bart listed as a return.

    Embarrassing we gave up KB for that.  This front office must be the worst negotiating team in MLB.  I need to dive a bit deeper into some of the prospects we acquired, but at first glance, aside from Madrigal it appears we gave away our whole damn squad for next to nothing in return.

    Right! Admittedly, I know next to nothing about any of these guys other than there are also a couple drafted on 19/20 that have been sidelined with arm/shoulder surgeries.

    You never know with prospects. 

    Once upon a deadline we traded James Shields for some kid named Fernando…

    Thank you for Rizzo!  I hope he does to the Yankees what Chapman did for the Cubs.  :)

    This is the one I’m bitter about. I said all along to trade any last one of them except Rizz. He’s an A+ guy and you’re lucky to have him on the squad. On a non-selfish note, I’m happy for him that he doesn’t need to spend his final years on a terrible re-building squad. I think this one was pretty tough on him as well. Deep roots with this team and city.

    Was Rizzo a fan favorite?  Seems like a really good guy.  I m pumped.

    Very much a fan favorite. Unofficial team captain and a guy they should have had retire as a cub. Great clubhouse guy too, charitable efforts, etc.

    Yesterday will forever be remembered as THE GREATEST DAY IN CUBS HISTORY!!!!

    San Diego took Darvish and his salary way from us!!!!!!!


    3 years with the Cubs

    15-14

    $65 million or so for those 3 years?

    FUCK DARVISH!!!!

    My prediction? He will not win in double digits, for any year, he is with San Diego.

    BANK ON THAT

    Well...suddenly Jed looks like a genius for giving Yu away. :anguished:

    Yeah, that one is looking pretty rough right now.

    Im sticking to my original comment.

    Darvish will not win in double digits this year, or any year he is with San Diego.

    I wish it was 80 degrees outside, and I was sitting at Wrigley watching a game.
