What’s NEXT for Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline?

1. I think this was a good trade. But I don’t think this should be our only “bigger trade” we need more bullpen help, and a catcher. I also think, we should keep most of our guys, I don’t think we should trade a Nico Hoerner or A Jameson taillon.

2. Tommy told em it's his ass and he got aggressive

3. Retired Chicago born watching from the Philippines now 10 pm CT Sun

4. Sam "jokingly" said you'd get a Mike & Ikes for Morel. Granted they had to throw in Bigge and a prospect. But this is way more than I ever thought a Morel trade could headline, considering he's hitting under the mendoza line this year.

5. I see Happ going next.

6. Go Matt
   Go Sam
   Go Cubs
   Nice move from Jed 👍

7. Really wish we had built a package involving Morel and prospects for Soto. Still dont know why we did not do this.

8. I like the trade , Morel poor hitting 199avg and meh defense. We upgraded!

9. PCA turned around 3 fastballs of 94,94, and 95 for 3 hits today.

10. My guess is if they were 56-51 rn they probably don’t make this deal, because if they were that means Morel is probably performing at a higher level.

11. Peredes will be no better than morel and we gave away a future closure. Garbage trade from loser gm hoyer

12. If this guy could turn into Aramis Ramirez that would take care of 3 b for the next 8 years !!!

13. I do not care about Morel but losing Bigie will be really bigie😢

14. Now go get O’Hoppe from LAA for Mervis and the 2nd round pick from this year.

15. I like Morel 😊 I'm going to miss him he was a great guys on the team

16. Pretty sure you weren't sure Taillon would be this good this year either

17. Call me crazy for thinking of this, but what kind of haul would PCA + Taillon get you?

18. Is there any path where we keep Nico on the mindset that Swanson might get cut or trade it away with money?

19. This trade is garbage we traded for a guy hitting 250 with the lowest velo in the majors and we gave up a relief pitcher who can hit a 100 mph could be closer for 10 years.

20. If you say this about Morel what’s your take on Swanson.

21. Just looking toward 2025 🤦‍♂️

22. Locked in

23. Im very happy with Paredes

24. I knew we weren't tankin

25. Why tank it when 5 under 5

26. Hey hey hey goodbye

27. Turn the hat around.

28. So glad Morel is gone , we waited a year too long. Surprised we got an Allstar 3rd baseman for him and pieces. Chris is a great guy and hope he does well but this had to happen

29. Hope the trade doesn't prove to be a Lou Brock for Ernie Broloio thing

30. Cody Bellinger has been the biggest flop

31. Julian Merriweather only did BAD and stole the win from iminaga

32. The Cardinals have Helsley but we don't, so we trade away a guy in Bigge who could become a Helsley and give up on Morel a lil too soon. That's a " bad take " imo

33. When Swanson & Happ are part of your core, it's going to be hard for prospects to develop. Swanson & Happ are hurting this team the most. I wish that they can unload at least one of them.

34. Might as well trade Hoerner and Taillon now since the value maybe higher now as opposed to December?

35. I predict a Augest and September run. Bush can't play second.

36. What would you say if the Orioles dangled Holliday for Steele?

37. Plus!! Cubs had him before!! now!! get Soler, Schwarber, Rozzo, and Castellanos!!👍🏾

38. Cubs should now trade Happ and get what you can and bring up one of those prized outfield prospects !

39. Plus!! When the wind's blowing in, it blows in from right field!! that should help!!🧐🤔

40. 🧐😁 So!! The moves, so far, they might prove me wrong!! hopefully!! They might win 60 games!!🤔

41. Plus!! PCA hit against lefties!!😏🎓
