This past week MLB Trade deadline expired and so did some legacy lineups
Chicago Cubs saw historic World Series champs players traded
- Jake Arietta's pain and realization of the end
- Trade deadline left many of us with a hangover
- Cubs: Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javy Baez & Craig Kimbrel trades.
- Did president Jed Hoyer offer reasonable extensions or merely insult players with poor insulting contracts that resulted in trades?
- Jed Hoyer's side of the story. ". . . incredibly proud of what we accomplished, but the nature of our sport is there are cycles and we were at the end of the service time clock with these players . . . "
- Anthony Rizzo switches from Cub blue to Yankees pinstripes
- Jed Hoyer questions players sincerity in desire to stay with Cubs, "I don't know why these guys did not want to sign . . . "
- Anthony Rizzo requests "Goldschmidt" style extension and Cubs reply with 50% of his asking price.
- We look to Writer, Sara Sanchez, "Bleed Cubbie Blue" for some early guidance before trades. @BCB_Sara on Twitter
- We discuss Ryan Anthony Dreyer from "On Tap Sports Net" for Cubs fan call for Ricketts to sell the Cubs in January
- Anthony Rizzo on fire with Yankees breaking new first 6 game records
- Kris Bryant - We felt Cubs treated him poorly on service time. He should flourish with SF Giants
- Craig Kimbrel moves across town from Cubs to White Sox
- Nationals trading like an auction block - much more transparent about trading players with expiring contracts. Max Scherzer, Brad Hand, Yan Gomes, Daniel Hudson, Kyle Schwarber, Josh Harrison, Jon Lester
- Nationals GM, Mike Rizzo, makes difficult decisions
- Nationals did have 1.5 years remaining control of Trea Turner
- Abuse of Minor league Players continues
- USA Baseball Team in the Olympics advance
