July 26, 201610 yr No doubt, just think we coulda got more for Torres. Oh well. I can't be too bumbled by a 7,8,9 of Strop, Rondon, and Chapman. And I like that we won't have to face Chapman this year. I don't think Theo is done. I look for him to acquire Reddick and another pitcher, possibly Sonny Gray.
July 26, 201610 yr Does anyone know if the Cubs will be able to make Chapman a qualifying offer? I assume they can much like the Dead Birds did with Heyward last year. So at least we can get a first round pick out of it?
July 26, 201610 yr Lots of rumors that Melvin Upton is available. He's due $16 million next year. Bruce has better #'s than Upton, and a better contract (he has a team option for $13 million next year with a $1 million buyout).
July 26, 201610 yr Does anyone know if the Cubs will be able to make Chapman a qualifying offer? I assume they can much like the Dead Birds did with Heyward last year. So at least we can get a first round pick out of it? No. The player has to have spent the entire season with the club for the team to receive a draft pick if they don't take the qualifying offer.
July 26, 201610 yr Blue Jays have traded for Upton. Padres will receive a Class A level prospect in return per Ken Rosenthal.

I would think he'd be intriguing for the Cubs.
July 26, 201610 yr ^ I'm a fan of Bruce. Believe it or not I'd take him over Votto any day :meh: Did Plantman hack your account or something?
July 26, 201610 yr Along those same lines, what would you guys, as Cubs fans, be willing to give up for him? Jimenez?
July 26, 201610 yr Cubs have no one left. I wish that were the case, but it's no where close to true.
July 26, 201610 yr I wish that were the case, but it's no where close to true. The next 3 studs up will be Ian Happ, Eloy Jimenez and Jeimer Candelario. Candelario will be the next prospect moved IMO.
July 26, 201610 yr Along those same lines, what would you guys, as Cubs fans, be willing to give up for him? Jimenez? Is Bruce a free agent after this season?
