2015 Cubs Offseason: Building a Winner Around David Ross

DPD, but I am going to hope they floated the Lackey rumors just to get us all willing to accept Snork back with open arms, because fuck John Lackey.

Would rather have Lackey than Snork. Would rather have both than part with Soler.

I really don't think Jorge will be traded.

I think he might, but the Cubs would have to get a cost-controlled top-of-the-rotation guy to come in and be the #3. And I'm not sure any team that has one of those would give him up for a guy with great hitting skills and twangy hamstrings.

Which would obviously set up the play action

Great arm, some declining velocity, little command/control.  Sounds like the perfect Bosio reclamation project.

I like Brothers. (pause) This does seem a perfect fit for Bosio to work his Wizardry. Or not. What's the risk?

Nothing.

This is a trade by Theo Epstein. The name of this trade is Brothers.

I don't understand.  Cubs acquire Rex Brothers, yet as as far as I can make out, there's only one of them.

The second one appears after your fourth Malort.

As a general rule I don't believe anything Dave Kaplan says.

Bonertime is back on.

The Cubs, Cardinals, Dodgers, Giants and Red Sox are showing the most interest in left-hander David Price, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Rosenthal adds that while Price enjoyed his time in Toronto, the Blue Jays "are not expected to be a major factor in his free agency," which isn't necessarily a surprise considering the team's previous reluctance to commit the type of expenditure Price will command to any player.

For some reason, when I first read this I assumed that it was Stew who'd authored it.

This would have been a good candidate for the Totally Unreadable thread.

Which thread is for omitting the quote to make it look like I wrote it?

The one where we assume people won't remember something from two posts ago, I guess. But I fixed it anyway because I don't want to hurt your #brand around these parts. Happy Thanksgiving.
