You can thank Dusty for trying to force JV into a WS win.

Y'all have no idea how tempting it is sometimes to make up the most insane rumor and post it here just to see the reactions that follow

No one on earth would want Xander with his contract. Probably the worst in all of baseball.

Everyone sees how insane the market is and wants a piece of it

Being liable for someone having a stroke, heart attack or an considered an accessory to a crime based on that rumor. This board is a little nuts

No kidding. You would be a fool now to not investigate the chance to fleece someone with the buying frenzy.

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS FOR EVERYONE!

Good point.

Astros are relocating to Vancouver.

Would make for a great April fools day prank

Jeff Bagwell becoming full time GM after Crane unhappy with Brown would have been pretty believable

Trading Tucker to NY would be incredibly stupid imo.

What a terrible trade.



We take on a terrible contract in Castellanos who can't play defense and get Bolm and 1 solid prospect or 1 good prospect. I would Dana would literally laugh in their face if that is offered.

No ****ing way on that PHI trade, especially with what's being rumored right now.

Yeah, that is laughable unless you are a Phillies homer.

Right above the Tucker section, it says Alex probably is the next free agent to sign.
Marvin

I guess the preference would be for a Tucker trade first. The Astros would then know where they stand in terms of payroll and roster. The decision on Bregman might be clearer, provided it does not involve $200+ million. Could be irrelevant either way.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

I could go with this. Would the Cubs?

Please happen. Even if it's a lesser prospect I do this deal.

Based on Baseball Trade Value this trade is almost even.

Tucker - 31.4
$$ - 15.8 (estimated)

Suzuki - 1.2
Parades - 28.8
$$ - 25.9

This would eat up our remaining $ to stay under the tax. I think Dana is fair to ask for more.

I'm good with that haul for Tucker

Although it'll suck to see him gone… that's a good haul

Why it would likely be paired with a Pressly move down the line. How many years left on Parades' deal?

Matt Shaw is the #2 rated 3B prospect in baseball and #22 overall.
Cam Smith is the #5 rated 3B prospect in baseball and #73 overall.

No way the Cubs do that with Suzuki and Paredes already in the mix.

Because that deal hasn't been done yet? 3 left all arb.

Would LOVE the deal, but I think that's way too much for the Cubs to give up for essentially a 1 year rental (unless some extension is involved).
linkdude

Right I forgot Suzuki was on the contract, for some reason I thought Parades had signed an extension. He's still in arb, nice.

yes, and this is why there is some wisdom in Crane's approach

the mega-contracts go sour so quickly and so often

True but the moment that deal was inked everyone knew it wasn't great. It just aged like milk extremely quickly.
