View all NL West Sites. He was not, however, highly regarded as a prospect. Keep trying Cubs fans, you still have time to throw shots at your AL brother, but the clock is ticking. Cubs fans want to talk about bad trades. Every team have their bad trades but the Cubs have a lot of bad trades.
One of reasons why it took them years to win another World Series. Prepare for the Cubs having a another very long drought. White Sox are better than average 75 win season the next 4 or 6 years. The White Sox are looking at being contenders for the better part of the decade. The Cubs are looking at another rebuild. Cubs are still a great team. The favourites to win the NL Central and 7th favorite to win the world series. Once the season starts and then ends.
Cubs will win at least 80 games more if theres more than games. The Cardinals and the Reds are favorites to win the division. The Cubs are looking at tearing down their team.
Wrek, explain something to me bud. How will their offense look with no Castellanos to carry them? Theo was at the helm when the Cubs won their first WS title in over a century. Without that, this deal and others suggest he has been a poor decision maker In Chicago. I would say Theo made all the right moves to win the title and then made a LOT of bad moves after.
True Theo has made some bad decisions ,But that was not one of them. Never mind……. Sorry Cubbies Q in 17…… insert Torres….. Theo gets way too much credit but shockingly NO blame for their decline ever since?!?! I blame Theo far more than Joe Maddon.
Remember when they were suppose to be a destiny??? No way haha. Tatis was 17 years old and not even a top prospect. Shields just won a world series with the Royals and the Sox needed a starter beacuse they were in contention over the summer.
Plus he gave up the Bartolo home run. They have no baseball I. Cubs won a world series with Chapman no way that was a bad trade. Yankees will go on their longest no world series draught ever. It will be another Stanton and Castro deal. It will be something like Cole and Cash for ab Lweis Brinson type of player. Great potential but will never reach superstar status. They could have won a WS with any decent closer. They went big on the best closer in the game, and let him return to the Yankees after only 3 months.
Many teams have won championships without giving away their top prospects. Cubs would have won the World Series without Chapman. In hindsight or at the time of the deal?
In hindsight, the Tatis one looks the worst, although the Q one could easily change that. At the time? The Q trade was by far the worst. Most of these teardown type trades, especially three of them spaced so closely, favor the side that gets the veteran s. The Brewers were rumored to be the Cubs main competitor for Quintana, at one point reports in the media were that the Brewers were likely to acquire him. I think the chance that this might happen drove the Cubs to make the deal.
I thought he would be a Jon Lester type solid 2, but he never produced or progressed to that level. I remember hearing about Schwarber being the main get for the Sox before the trade and I thought the White Sox would never do that. Jimenez was the main piece to get. Cease was a surprise inclusion, mainly because he had been injured and babied by the Cubs and was less than a reliable piece at that point.
Dylan Cease was a throw in. Just like the Cubs and yabkees deal Chapman for Glayber Torres then other 3 were throw ins. And immediately was fired by the cubs as they had no intention of wasting a 40 man spot on him. Dylan Cease wouldve been enough but rick Hahn is a greedy little man and demanded eloy Jimenez.
Probably traded within that time. They look great on paper. That doesnt mean anything. At the time the Cubs were scuffling vs dominant like the year before. So this trade made little sense. So in reality this is more about Theo in a jam and got taken advantage of vs looking at a deal that strengthened the organization. This trade was awful and has been since it came to fruition.
Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they are talking about. If we only gave up cease or eloy the trade would have been ok. Please login to leave a reply. Log in Register.

I think this site looking for some heated Sox-Cubs discussion to raise ratings. Cubs made a stupid trade. They should suspend this site until then.
Omg someone stop the presses 2. But no one is forcing you to come here until the season either 1. Duh uh duh uh that was so funny I forgot to laugh. Blue skies ahead for Sox fans.
Theo paid for a Cadillac but ended up with a Buick 8. Opinion based comment 1. All comments are opinion based 3. Ridiculous, borderline dangerous thought process. Trading a slam dunk superstar for a solid 5 is not how you win another ring 1. It was a market trade at the time. Although, balance is still key either way.
Their team is mostly homegrown every single year. White Sox can put him at DH. You should probably expand your Cubs circle of fans. Write your own damn article. The hunger was gone thanks to beer and chicken.
Lester and Beckett say hi. Though if these two can become a starting LF and starting pitcher respectively, the deal becomes a fleece… 1. Lolololol 1. Statistics are the polar opposite of lies. Statistics are like a bikini. They show you a lot, but not everything.
Exactly monty. Yeah cuz nobody can make fake statistics. He was a legit preeminent 2 starter, with a favorable contract — like the article states. Imagine if the Cubs had Jimenez and Torres today. But no ring. Would it be worth it? NL West. West Ham United Wolves. Virginia Tech Washington Wisconsin. Purdue Syracuse Villanova Virginia Wisconsin. Redblacks Stampeders.

By Jon Greenberg Aug 9, In , when the Cubs were trying to cure a head-splitting post-World Series hangover, Hoyer was the No. It was a sensible trade, in theory. A contending team needed a pitcher and a rebuilding one needed prospects, and it was made all the more interesting because it was a crosstown deal.
Four years later, Epstein is gone, Quintana has a 6.
