Cubs getting Zobrist.

And they got rid of Castro
Great night for them.

Horrific trade on Castro. I'm convinced Jim Hendry had jedi powers

Nice pickup by the Yankees for next to nothing...

Talented young man.
Good teammate???????

Cubs players loved him. The negative crap was purely media driven.

OK. I bought into the media view.
He is definitely a gifted athlete.

 

[wccards21]

He has flaws, but I think the way he handled the move to 2nd base more than justified him not getting dumped.....after having to be part of these crap teams over the last few years.

I'm hoping there is a bigger picture, like Heyward or Cueto.

I think moving him basically cleared the path for Bryant at 3B and Baez at 2B, right? With the thought they'll get another OF'er for depth...or get Heyward and potentially win about 140 games. Sheesh. I hate them...but I dig what they're doing. And I dig Theo. It'd be like if Billy Clyde went to coach hoops at Indiana.

Zobrist will play 2nd over Baez

I would have MUCH rather have moved him and kept Castro. Should have packaged Baez up and sent him to SD for Ross or Cleveland for Carrasco.

Working on getting Heyward, Span or Parra currently.

Parra would put me in meltdown mode. That guy is solid...JHey would confuse my inner self. Happy because I think it would force the Cards to look elsewhere (which I'm cool with). Sad because I know he's the perfect fit for the Cubs.

 

[wccards21]

He's a great fit for the Cubs. That price is a problem. Luckily his age counteracts that. Will be able to get enough value out of the first 3 -4 years to not really matter.

I'd be on with Para. He's, like you said, a very solid player. Would be fairly cheap as well. I've now seen Carlos Gomez pop up. Not sure how I feel about that, although I love that everyone hates him.

All I know is,the next 5 years in the NL Central is going to be crazy

Zobrist is Maddon's boy from their days in TB...

If by crazy, you mean the Cubs are going to crush everyone, then yes, it will be crazy.

 

[wccards21]

Don't look forward to 2020 then.....

Cubs full TV rights will be open for bid
