Is this really all we could get for Eli? A package deal (Eli + prospects) for a back end mlb starting pitcher would of been much more appealing
I think a very important part of this, is to continue to drive home the point of "For about six months to a year, the cubs and guardians have been talking for a trade for a reliever" This was a 1 for 1 that probably had multiple iterations for months. Trades take forever!
Jeff, is the Barqu's root beer the secret ingredient in your minor league prospect projections? (Asking for a friend) lol! Interesting discussion today.
I will support getting high ceiling hitters until we finally hit on one. Not comparable to Yanier Diaz or Junior Caminero but on principle I like that we're buying over selling hit potential.
Jeff, you should be drinking Sprecher root beer since you are in Wisconsin.
Sounds like a win-win trade. Yes, subscribe to these guys they are very knowledgeable.

Now that they have opened up a 40 man spot, is it too late to add Ryan Webb before the Rule 5 draft?
I hope they get rid of Sandlin next
I think he’s another Khalil Watson type. Thoughts?
Good show today guys 😊
