Speaking of the 2015 Cubs, you can hear them on WBBM next season, and when the Score's deal with the Shite Sox is up at the end of that year, they might end up on 670 for 2016. Just in time for Baez and Bryant to alternate NL MVP awards for the next 15 years.

One morning in 1953, about this time of year, I woke up to learn from the morning paper that the Cubs sent 6 players, or 24% of its roster, plus $150,000, to the Pittsburg Pirates in exchange for 4 players.  I had no particular attachment to the 6 players, and certainly not to the $150,000, so it was kind of exciting to get 4 new faces all at once, especially since one of them was Ralph Kiner.  In the long run it made no difference.  With our luck we will learn one morning that the Cubs put together a package of four prospects, Baez, Bryant, Soler, and Almora, plus $15,000,000, and shipped them off to Tampa Bay for 6 "proven" veterans.

Longoria, Price, Zobrist, Jennings, Cobb and Chris Archer (righting that wrong). Make it happen Jepstink.

I'm not signing off on that without Hak-Ju Lee.

Well, I didn't want to be unreasonable.

Jacques Strop is not a good pitcher

Edwin Jackson isn't either. Too bad his contract isn't DFA-able, tradable, or any other useful 'able.'

All he's doing is preventing Rusin or someone else from facing big league hitters every 5th day. (But I guess he's helping with next year's draft pick so there's that.)

Whenever you get a chance to put Chris Damn Rusin in your rotation, you do it.

I can't believe someone thinks this.
