Why does it matter if the trade happens August 1 or July 28? For the same reason I couldn't sleep at all on Christmas Eve when I was a child.. Im a greedy little b****** who needs instant gratification Edited July 31, 2023 by KL2 Quote

And probably explains why it's taking a little more time to develop. If it's 2 PM CDT tomorrow and nothing has happened, maybe then I'll start asking questions. 1 Quote
Tenacious D Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 We were critical of Al sometimes selling early, like with JD, so we should get on board with waiting to maximize return on our few tradable assets. KL2 can just take a few Ambiens and set his alarm for 5:30 pm tomorrow. Quote

Yes, which is why 19-year-old Cristian Hernandez playing A Ball in the Cubs system might be a decent get if his tools fit within Harris/Hinch's development strategy. Quote

The prospect hounds will pump up one of the players and we'll feel better. That guy will not develop into anything, but one of the others will turn out to be pretty good.

Which is why they should sit on these guys until the last minute to try and get someone to help compete in this crappy division next year. If not hope E Rod opts in. Spend away. As everyone here used to say it's not my money. Think fans are pretty over the decade long firesale. Quote

Shinzaki Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Candelario has had a nice season in the NL...you know who else had some great seasons in the NL? Javy Baez... Quote
