Wheeler to Phillies. Glad we passed at that price.

This kind of money for Wheeler makes me think Cole is getting 8 year, 280 M.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28211999/one-blockbuster-move-all-30-mlb-teams

*MOCK SCENARIO from ESPN*

"In a three-team blockbuster,
- the Houston Astros acquire C Willson Contreras from the Chicago Cubs and LHP Amir Garrett from the Cincinnati Reds;
- the Reds acquire 3B/OF Kris Bryant from the Cubs and RHP Josh James from the Astros;
- the Cubs acquire RHP Forrest Whitley and 3B Abraham Toro from the Astros and LHP Nick Lodolo and RHP Tony Santillan from the Reds"

Provided link if you want to see the rest, but ESPN did a blockbuster move involving every team. I know how I personally feel about this idea... but curious to hear y'all's reaction.

There's a less than 0% chance we include Forrest Whitley in a trade for Amir Garrett and Wilson Contreras.

That might literally be the worst hypothetical trade idea I've ever seen.

I do like me some Amir Garrett. He's entertaining.

Happy to see everyone is on the correct side thus far. Has it been mentioned on this site how awful ESPN is? Just another confirmation.

But at least it's within the realm of possibility that Toro and/or James could be dealt this offseason. No chance Forrest is dealt.

Right, but it wasn't Whitley. It was Whitley plus!

Any way we can get Felipe Vazquez thrown in this deal

Would look forward to Jeff Passan hating on us for a legit reason

It is interesting that we were reportedly in on Wheeler til the end. Presumably means we have $20+ mil available to spend on the right guys. Wonder who we're gonna look to next. The higher end starting pitchers are coming off the board quick.

I wouldn't mind having Keuchel back. He'd slide right in the middle of our rotation and eat up innings as well as anyone. Plus he's got playoff experience. He'd be great in the 3/4 spot in the postseason too.
