RIPPA Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 You do realize there are about 1000 guys who you can attempt to fill the closer roll with. There aren't 1000 Jose Fernandezes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Supposedly, Zobrist has a 4/80 deal on the table. Wow. Rosenthal says that according to one of his sources, that is horseshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I still wouldn't be surprised to see Zobrist get way overpaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It was Zobrist's agent attempting to milk some more money from the Mets who are really in on him, but the Mets called bullshit on it right away and it backfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I still wouldn't be surprised to see Zobrist get way overpaid. Nor would I. And $20MM per would certainly qualify as "way overpaid". He's meeting with WAS today, so I would figure that he signs somewhere pretty quickly.

Tabe Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The Cubs are being shady...please. They conducted their business by the book, within the rules, just like any other team has done in the past You do realize that "being shady" and "doing things by the book" are not mutually exclusive, right? You'd probably cool with sitting down a player at 498 PAs that has a huge bonus at 500, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 If this Zobrist Cubs and Castro Yankees thing happens I'm gonna be pretty livid unless we somehow get Heyward too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 We'd better get a decent price for Starlin and we fucking NEED Heyward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 May I note I REALLY like Ben Zobrist. Been a fan for years. We are moving Castro to make this signing. Most likely to the Yankees. The question is what we get in return. And, once more, we need Heyward. Fowler and Span are fine backup plans, but we really really need Heyward in Center.

sabremike Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Wilponzis lose out, what a shock. We have a once in a generation rotation and it won't amount to shit if we go back to averaging a run a game next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grilledcheese Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 My dad thinks the world of Dansby Swanson, he watched him in Hillsboro a handful of times this year, said he's a stud. Braves get a tremendous haul. AZ is supposed to be close on getting Mike Leake as well. They aren't fucking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 It's Warren and Brendan Ryan for Castro Why the fuck they wanted Ryan when they just signed Zobrist is beyond me because the Cubs liked Ryan's mustache last year? With Castro and also Dustin Ackley, this opens up to also include Rob Refsnyder in a package for pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I think going from Castro to Zobrist is a huge, huge fucking upgrade and I love the move. He wasn't at his best last season but his BABIP was really down from previous years. Now, they should've gotten more for Castro but I still love the Zobrist acquisition. Plus, he can play outfield too. I think I read that they're going to try Baez at center... That's interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
