  1. The Cubs got RHP Anderson Espinoza from the Padres today for Jake Marisnick. Talk about a blast from the past, a former top 25 prospect in baseball back in 2016 and 2017. He’s somehow still just 23 years old.
  2. In addition to a completely new outfield, the Braves also got Richard Rodriguez.
  3. When you spell it out like this, it really does look insane on paper that we turned those names into significant big-league contributors. Why does everyone always forget about Jandel Gustave! Acquired from the Pirates this season for 17-year old, Samuel Escudero.
  4. I'd bet a lot of money that we talked to the Twins today. A lot of money. That’s where I’d put my money as well.
  5. Well I hope he can’t join the team for a couple of days during this current series with the Braves, he’s just starting to heat up and has already killed the Brewers once in the past week.
  6. I believe that was based on an inaccurate report.
  7. That appears to have been a false report.
  8. I can’t believe the Rockies didn’t trade any of their expiring contracts today. A franchise that continues to operate on their own island.
  9. Most importantly… he has options remaining!
  10. John Curtiss under team control through 2025.
  11. Per Jeff Passan… Bryant to SF, source tells, ESPN. And Robert Murray… The San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a deal to acquire Kris Bryant from the Chicago Cubs, according to sources familiar with the situation.
  12. Yankees getting LHP Andrew Heaney from the Angels. I’ve been a believer in Heaney, but he’s never had that full breakout.
  13. Assuming the Cubs play Madrigal at 2B and move Nico Hoerner to SS next year, they will have two of the highest average, low slugging players in baseball in their middle infield.
  14. That was actually a real Tweet that Bob Nightengale sent and then quickly deleted. Passan had to clarify it was based on a fake account because it caused a stir for him.
  15. Bob Nightengale Tweeted and then deleted this because he got duped by a fake Jeff Passan account…
  16. Cubs get Pete Crow-Armstrong from the Mets which is a pretty good get for them.
  17. Yes, he was Rule 5 eligible this offseason which is one reason he’s a bit more expendable.
  18. The 13th round thing is misleading. The Brewers spent big ($440,000) to sign Olson in the 2018 draft, and he’s still very young with good velocity. By comparison, Drew Rasmussen was a 6th rounder and signed for only $135k (yes, he had less leverage as a college arm). Olson was the 5th highest paid Brewers draft pick in 2018 behind only Turang, Gray, Bello, and Ashby. I am not going to lose sleep over it, and I am fine with the trade, but it’s worth understanding that developing into a very good major league pitcher is still well within the range of outcomes for Reese Olson.
  19. Sounds like Kyle Gibson is likely headed to the Phillies.
  20. Javier Baez career line against the Brewers: 107 games played, .222 BA, .286 OBP, .350 SLG, .636 OPS, and 118 strikeout in 343 at bats It seems like Brewers may have a pretty good game plan for neutralizing Baez offensively.
  21. From Jon Morosi… The Giants and Kris Bryant are one pairing to watch in the next hour, after the report from @feinsand that Javier Báez is headed to the Mets.
  22. From Jeff Passan… BREAKING: The New York Mets are finalizing a trade to acquire shortstop Javier Baez from the Chicago Cubs, sources tell ESPN. Deal is pending medicals.
  23. I've seen several people say this. Olson hasn't shown much other than he walks a lot of guys. Am I missing something with him? Below is the FanGraphs write-up on Olson from last month. They ranked him the #6 prospect in the Brewers system, and since he’s only 21 they pointed out if he was in this past year’s draft they think he would’ve been as high as a mid-first round talent.
  24. If the Brewers ever do trade Josh Hader, it needs to be on deadline day.
  25. According to Bob Nightengale… The Cubs will receive second baseman Nick Madrigal and pitcher Codi Heuer from the White Sox for Craig Kimbrel.
