Reasonable Trade Discussion

[Bort]

Yeah...the more I think about, the more I think fuck it.

Starlin for Brett Gardner?

The Cubs really need to hire Eli to translate all of their news into sitcom gifs. It's the language of our times.

My father taught an intro to business class Gardner took in college. Now every baseball season phone call, he tells me all about "his boy" is doing. The last thing I need is to hear about him playing for the Cubs.

False alarm.

God, I hope so.

Wake me when it's Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw.

Soler for Miller, pay up for Heyward, get a #4 somewhere and we goin' Sizzler.

Miller and a #4?  Sounds a lot like bullshit toleration to me.

Have we gone over thought son Marcell Ozuna?  I don't really feel like back through this but am wondering what the thought is on him?  I'm guessing The Marlins would be looking for some pitching back but I wouldn't mind seeing The Cubs take a flier on this kid.

He's not a leadoff hitter and his defense may turn out to be major league average in CF.  Would The Marlins ask for more than he may be worth right now?

I seriously stared at Thought Son for like a full minute trying to figure out what the hell he meant by it before I realized it was a typo.

This is as much thought as Ozuna merits, son.

You're probably right.  4-win 24 year olds who hit 23 home runs in the majors with a 115 wRC+ and play a fairly premium defensive positions where The Cubs need help grow on trees.

RV basically suggested we stop replying to Fork's posts and I can't say he's wrong.

I think he was trying to give you a promotion with this fringe organization.  Maybe he likes the cut of your jib.

I would be fine with the Cubs looking into Ozuna, but his value seems to be way too dependent on his power. He never walks, OBPs have been pretty bad. Doesn't really fit the profile of the guys Jepstink really like to go after.

The tree that grows guys with 90 OPS+ should be cut down.
