Trade Deadline Thread

The only thing that makes sense about keeping Pena is that if he walks at the end of the year the Cubs get a pretty high compensation pick for losing him.

Not necessarily. Pena was so bad in 2010 that he's on the border of earning the Cubs a pick.  At best, he'd be a Type B free agent, which would get the Cubs a sandwich pick, not a first-rounder.

I'm sure a sandwich pick was enough to sell Hendry on keeping Pena.

Probably, so long as it was peanut butter and gravy

I would like to say this in all sincerity:

Fuck Jack McKeon.  Fuck him in his 85 year old chainsmoking ass with Bud Seligs dick.

It's not McKeon's fault that the Cubs are a joke.

Yeah, but he's still an asshole.  Plus PenFoe likes him.

I do?
I don't remember this.

Okay, fine. I do.
