Actually I just recounted. If by 'a few' you mean at least 2, then you'd be suggesting a 9 for 2 swap.

I understand you're a cubs fan and are high on your prospects. That's natural. But when you start talking about 9 for 2 then you must know it's just unrealistic.

It's 8 for 2 (that's for Bedard and Roberts), with 3 of the 8 not needing to go on your 40-Man.

So you'd need to open up 3 roster spots.

I wouldn't call it absurd after what we just saw happen with Haren.

Personally, I'd love to do the deal that you suggested. Do you think the Cubs would do that deal, Dave?

Find a substitute for Colvin, and it's a deal. You don't need 3 new OFs anyway, not with Markakis and Scott in town, and Reimold in the pipeline.

lol. You want Bedard and Roberts but Tyler Colvin is untouchable.

Bedard isn't going to be a Cub. no chance.

That's some exceedingly poor reading comprehension.

Colvin is as available as available gets. Just not in that particular combination involving all of the Cubs' other decent OF options for the foreseeable several years.

You want Colvin instead of Pie or Murton? Done.

How can you even think of the future when your team hasn't won a WS in your lifetime?

I think of the future because I can't change the past.

Outline for me a transaction that would be smart for the Cubs to make right now that would not be smart if the Cubs had won the WS in, say, 1992.

Bedard and Robert for Pie, Hill, Murton, Cedeno, and Gallagher would be interesting but I am not sure the Cubs would want to give up Hill. I would want Pie and Hill in any trade where we give up Bedard and Roberts. If they will not give up both Hill and Gallagher I would think about replacing Gallagher with Vitters.

      The Kimbrel experience feels very similar to the Felix experience thus far. Great pickup

      I don’t know how long this Suarez wave will last, but it’s fun and a really good story to see a guy fight for one more chance and take advantage of it.

      You think that Mayo is better/more talented player than Cowser? Also, who’s J?

      While it certainly makes sense, I don’t see it happening. Santander has played almost every day even while his bat was running cold. Mullins and mountcastle as well. Hyde values veteran presence and hard to argue with the results so far this year. As for Mayo and Kjerstad, the only way I envision them seeing consistent playing time is if they let Santander walk this year, and trade one of RMC/Urias in the offseason. Highly unlikely Elias trades anyone from the lineup during the season

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      I think it's silly to say he has nothing left to prove in AAA and equally silly to say he's not hurting the ML team right now. He is definitely hurting us. We're just good enough to overcome it right now. Holliday barely had a cup of coffee in AAA. He was only ok at the end of last year in AAA (.796 OPS) and had good stats when everyone on the team had over a 1.000 OPS against the lame White Sox team early this year. He also barely had a cup of coffee at 2B. Most importantly, he looks broken right now.  There's every reason to put him into a position where he can decompress and find his legs again. While he's at it, he can figure out how not to drop his hands so he can compete at the top of the zone, and he can get more comfortable at 2b. I love the kid and believe that he'll be as great as they say, but I definitely believe he was rushed in relation to how Elias has really made sure the other guys are more ready before promoting them. Nobody else got the Holliday treatment, and I don't think they should. I would demote him and give Norby a shot, effective tomorrow.

      As I said, someone(s) has to go.    Over the next few years, you also enter Mayo and Basallo into the picture. Mayo is reportedly shagging fly balls now. They are working on him in the OF.  Only a matter of time before he’s in games. But he will play first some and DH some. Basallo will as well. Both have a talent advantage over silent J,  Cowser, Stowers, Norby, Beavers, etc… So, some kind of move(s) will need to be made. It’s not a matter of if, it’s when.
