Wow, would you look at that, candelario goes not for a huge haul, but for 2 mid level prospects in the cubs system. Number 14 and 16 according to mlb. If only that could have been foreseen

We’re not getting Candelario.

This lineup we have now is our offense for the rest of the season, isn’t it?

They are clearly going after more controllable guys. Id be patient until the actual deadline tomorrow. I think they are going after something bigger

[Nick]

Cabrera all over the place.

[Nick]

That was a gift.

[fish16]

Cabrera needs to go down for a month in august and work on his command and hopefully he can figure some things out before September. If only we had a phenom to replace him

No one disagrees with you here just so you know. Not the victory lap you want it to be. That’s two FV40+ guys or so, completely expected for just him. Throw in Harvey or Thomas, and that’s what the bigger deal was.

Also pretty stupid the Marlins couldn’t figure out how to match or better that. Maybe the the intra-division angle comes into play.

If there was any chance Cabrera was available I highly doubt he would be pitching tonight

How is it clear? The big deadline acquisition so far was Robertson.

You’re really going to sit there and try to act like you didn’t say that candelario would be very expensive and get a top 100 guy?

Look at the list of guys they are interested in. Candelario was a free agent to be but most of the hitters named have been guys with at least one more year of control

It will be clear when it happens. So far they have acquired a rental (Robertson).

Mish is saying a move will happen. We'll see. Kind of frustrating to see Candelario go for so cheap.

i mean, they also traded floro for a guy with one more year of control as well.

God Dammit.
