I don't think we are going to pay up for Suarez... but I won't be the happiest if Chicago gets him and this is a step in that direction.

Hey if Chicago wants to spend assets adding to their offense and not try to shore up their rotation or bullpen then I think we should let them.

They can do both!

I bet Suarez ends up in Seattle.

If they want to blow up their farm system with Tucker likely out of Chicago in the offseason, then feel free!

Barring him winning a ring in Milwaukee or staying in Arizona, Seattle is probably the best outcome.

Did they approach us about undoing the Devin / Durbin trade and we said no?

Wow I thought this might happen but I thought Suarez would get traded first and McMahon would be the consolation prize for the big money team that lost out on Suarez. NYY could still be in on Suarez though with McMahon as backup but less likely now.

I have no issue losing out on McMahon. He’s an upgrade over Monasterio and other bench options, of course, but not from Durbin.

Agreed. It’s not like the Cubs lack .800 and .900 OPS bats

[young guns]

The bad news is that now new York can't overspend instead of us for Suarez.  The good news is now we cant overspend for McMahon.

Great trade for the Rockies. I'm surprised Colorado didn't have to send some money along

[StearnsFTW]

Dodged that bullet.
