Morosi saying on the twitters that the Cubs are asking about Josh Reddick, who has hit .301/.380/.445 in Oakland this year and is warming back up after recovering from a broken bone. Would like that, although would still hope they find a way to play Javy fairly regularly.

More days off for Zobrist? Maybe time off for Heyward too? I don't know how they would do it, but Javy needs to play.

My guess:

vs RHP: Fowler CF/Reddick LF/Bryant 3B/Rizzo 1B/Contreras C/Zobrist 2B/Russell SS/Heyward RF

vs LHP: Fowler CF/Bryant LF/Rizzo 1B/Contreras C/Baez 3B/Zobrist 2B/Russell SS/Szczur RF

Sprinkle in Ross catching Lester, and Javy getting the occasional start against a right hander in place of Zobrist or whenever Russell or Bryant need a breather.

So essentially a Reddick/Javy platoon with Jorge wearing green. And our star free agent hitting eighth. Works for me.

Are you saying Jorge for Reddick? I think that's a bit much for Reddick. Am I nuts on that one?

It might have matched up well if Doolittle were healthy. But he isn't, so yeah, Jorge is probably too much for 3 months of Josh Reddick.

Yeah since Reddick is a rental I'm guessing something more in the Candelario neighborhood. Zagunis might be a guy that makes sense for Oakland.

I think Jorge is going to be in the big package for the unnamed controllable starting pitcher I still think they're going to get somehow.

Probably something akin to a top 50 prospect, but not the top 10 he used to be. He's pretty much proven at this point that he's never going to get through a season healthy, and the cycle of "starts painfully slow, heats up, injured, gets back into rhythm only to get hurt again" has really tanked his value.

Gray's numbers this year scare the crap out of me but if they acquired him I would trust that they saw something they could fix.

If the Cubs can continue to pick it up and play more like they did at the start of the season, it's possible that they'll become the first team in baseball history with 5 15-win starters.

More interesting to me, last year, Jake Arrieta began his incredible run at the end of July. He lost his last game on July 25th. At the time, he was 11-6 with a 2.61 ERA. I thought that was pretty interesting.
