Morel to Tampa Bay
For whom?? That’s the key
Oh shit. This was unexpected.
Morel + 2 prospects to Tampa
Cubs are back
Goodbye Morel.
Love Paredes. Definitely didn’t expect a move like this though
Reacquiring a former prospect for the second year in a row. At least he still is under club control for a few more years
Where were you when you heard the news?
I was at the k
Morel era is over 🙁
Hunter Bigge and TY Johnson are the prospects we are sending over. This is a Jed win
Oh shit. I’ll take this
Seems like a great deal regardless of whether we’re buying or selling. Paredes can be around until 2028
Love Morel, but definitely the right move. Hate how sad he was in the dugout, but that’s just a testament to how much he loved the team and those around him. Wishing him the best.
Wait isn’t Morel DH right now?
To watch him react to it live and walk out.. absolutely heartbreaking. At least the weather is nice in Tampa, Morel. We will miss you!
Losing Morel hurts. Paredes with lots of control is nice
So the bat is pretty rock solid. What’s his defense look like??
Gonna miss Morel. Infectious personality
Only Cubs fans could think that trading a below replacement player, a low rated reliever, and Ty Johnson (who almost nobody knows who he is) for an all-star is a bad move.
Great fucking deal Hoyer
Who is my new home jersey to buy? RIP Morel jersey (4/19/24- 7/28/24)
Paredes has a 0 defensive WAR and is slashing .249/.356/.441 with 55 RBIs and 3 years of control on his contract. Id take that over Morel any day
Big Jed W.
Holy shit at not having to give up one of Shaw, Triantos or Alcantara in this deal for Paredes, who only has one less year of control than Morel, if I have that right.
