@TheConnorPils Part of it has to be on Tigers though. That return can't be the best you can get. If you make the deal you at least have to max out return. He is a rental but they still have to do better
@cody__cubs Are you more willing to give up good prospects with labor issues pending? They could lose a full year of development. Guys on 40 man but yet to make mark could be impacted most.
@TheConnorPils Support this completely. We are getting starting options back to go with what we have. Any other starter we can get will will be an in the mix guy with others to start playoff game. Get me the gun and maybe a late inning arm. Not saying can't do something else on cheap.
@cody__cubs With arms coming back I argue getting a top starting pitcher more important than mid guys who may not even start post season game. That and big bullpen arms. We aren't going to see baseball next year. Prospects will lose year of development. Getting a Skubal makes a difference
@PJ_Mooney@NSideTerritory@FoulTerritoryTV@sahadevsharma Pitching will rightfully get all the attention. But could a bench bat, or two, make sense? Seems a veteran would make more sense than having guys like ramirez or Alcantara waste away with few at bats per week.
@cody__cubs Velo was down last night and lately hasn't been striking guys out. Funny he did after mound trip last night but he still didn't look right.
@TheConnorPils Thank you. People going crazy over 5 game stretch. I remember my first beer. Maybe have one and lighten up. With injuries we are lucky the record is where it is.
@cody__cubs Shit brother. You just figuring it out now. I turn 50 in September. Remember thinking 40.. wtf do I do? Guess what? I learned to just enjoy what I can. 40s were the best yet for me. It is just a number. Like a spot in the batting order... Just matters what you do with it. Cheers
@Brett_A_Taylor That is why he will be on train back to iowa for fresh arm. I sometimes feel bad for guys like that. I do not in a case like this. Throw stikes. It shouldn't take 50 pitches to get through 2 innings of 8 to 1 game
