With all due respect to Darvish and his final 3 years of team control, he and his $60M contact are a whole different bucket of worms from Contreras. I don't see a deal happening without a big prospect going to Chicago, so I don't see a deal happening at all. Sorry y'all. 😟 I have a feeling the Cubs could be trying to save face a little bit with the Padres trade. Appearing to at least look like they knew what they were doing. They are really rocking the cradle here. It's hard to believe. I mean, I know we had a past history of drafting high schoolers, but we never traded to get any either. Time will tell I guess. I don't think we would hesitate if it was true, so why hasn't it happened yet. I'm sure you are right they want a top prospect now with all the media attention that went into the Darvish trade.

Iowa 120 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 21 hours ago, marlinsmaniac said: Im good with Bradley and Contreras (at the right price) but I won’t feel that Quintana is necessary. I think the rotation of Sandy, Sixto, Pablo, Elieser, and Rodgers works until Edward comes up and inevitably replaces either Rodgers or Eliser. We would also need a genuine, everyday, major league outfielder. Cause none of our outfield options are anywhere near ready and RF was a black hole Our young staff is wonderful but I really think we could use a veteran who eats innings. There will be ups and downs, and innings limits.. so I think getting someone who can get 200 innings would be huge. Not at the top of the priority list but something I think we do need. A one year deal for somebody would be awesome.. and maybe somebody who could fetch us a prospect at the deadline if it comes to it 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He isn't really a prototypical OF either. I don't think he is versatile in the lineup. Benintendi was probably the player we were looking for to replace him. Link to post Share on other sites
